Expression of Lewis Y (Ley) Antigen in Human Anagen Hair Follicles

Lewis Y (Le^y) antigen, a difucosylated tetrasaccharide found on type 2 blood group oligosaccharides of glycolipids and glycoproteins, is thought to be a phenotypic marker predictive of cell differentiation. The distribution of this antigen in human anagen hair follicles was examined by immunohistochemical staining using a monoclonal antibody (AH-6) to Le^y. In the bulbar and suprabulbar portion of anagen hair follicles, Le^y antigen was detected in the three layers of the inner root sheath. Subsequently, the positive staining became translocated to the innermost layer of the outer root sheath in the middle part of the hair follicles. In the upper portion of the hair follicles, Le^y antigen was found in the outer cells of the outer root sheath. These findings suggested that the expression of Le^y antigen in the anagen hair follicles was correlated with the processes of keratinization or terminal differentiation.

旋毛虫、卫氏并殖吸虫及华支睾吸虫之间共同抗原的研究

目的鉴定旋毛虫、卫氏并殖吸虫及华支睾吸虫之间的共同抗原,避免血清学诊断这3种寄生虫病时的交叉反应。方法应用十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酸胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)和免疫印渍(Western blot)对旋毛虫肌幼虫、卫氏并殖吸虫成虫及华支睾吸虫成虫可溶性抗原中的蛋白组分进行研究。结果旋毛虫肌幼虫、卫氏并殖吸虫成虫及华文睾吸虫成虫3者相同蛋白带的分子量为108、65、53、43、42、31、25、16 kDa。免疫印渍结果表明,旋毛虫和卫氏并殖吸虫抗原中分子量为 65、58、53kDa的蛋白带均与旋毛虫感染的大鼠、小鼠及患者血清、肺吸虫感染的大鼠和患者血清发生反应;旋毛虫和华支睾吸虫抗原中分子量为108kDa的蛋白带均与旋毛虫感染的大鼠、小鼠及患者血清、肝吸虫病患者血清发生反应;而3种可溶性抗原中的53kDa与本实验中所有寄生虫感染的动物和患者均有交叉反应。结论 65、58、53 kDa蛋白为旋毛虫和卫氏并殖吸虫的共同抗原,108kDa蛋白为旋毛虫和华支睾吸虫的共同抗原,而53 kDa蛋白为这3种寄生虫的共同抗原。     

胃癌组织COX-2的表达及其与细胞增殖和凋亡的关系

目的 :探讨环氧化酶 - 2 (cyclooxygenase - 2 ,COX - 2 )在胃癌组织中的表达与癌细胞增殖和凋亡的关系。 方法 :采用免疫组织化学的方法检测 4 3例胃癌患者COX - 2和增殖细胞核抗原 (PCNA)的表达 ,用TUNEL法检测原位细胞凋亡的情况。分别计算细胞增殖指数 (MI)和凋亡指数 (AI)。结果 :胃癌组织COX - 2表达的阳性率为 6 0 .4 7% ,明显高于对照组 (P <0 .0 1)。COX - 2的高表达与胃癌淋巴结的转移和临床分期有关 ,与肿瘤大小、浸润深度、分化程度均无关。COX - 2阳性胃癌组中MI高于COX - 2阴性胃癌组 ,而AI却低于COX - 2阴性胃癌组 (P均 <0 .0 1)。结论 :COX - 2的过度表达可促进胃癌细胞增殖、抑制细胞凋亡 ,在胃癌的发生、发展过程中起着重要的作用。     

单核吞噬细胞应答伤寒沙门菌的实验研究

目的 研究单核吞噬细胞应答伤寒沙门菌的机理。方法 采用体外培养的PMA分化的THP－1细胞，检测其内化和杀伤胞内伤寒沙门菌的活性，以及伤寒沙门菌诱导PMA分化的THP－1细胞产生TNF－α和IL－12的情况。结果 PMA分化的THP－1细胞内化和杀伤Vi阴性伤寒沙门菌的活性明显高于内化和杀伤Vi阳性伤寒沙门菌的活性。IFN－γ明显中此活性。伤寒沙门菌诱导PMA分化的THP－1细胞可以产生一定量的TNF－α和IL－12，然而，IFN－γ活化的PMA分化的HTP－1细胞产生TNF－α和IL－12的量明显增加。结论 伤寒沙门菌在单核吞噬细胞中的存活可能与Vi抗原的存在有关；IFN－γ在调节机体细胞免疫，防循伤寒沙门菌感染中起着重要的作用。

目的:探讨玻片蛋白质芯片的构建方法及其中间操作条件的选择与优化。方法:利用生物芯片点样仪将超微量蛋白质点到经特殊处理的玻璃片表面,然后选用不同的化学试剂对玻片背景进行封闭;再用荧光素标记的蛋白质与点样蛋白杂交;最后用生物芯片分析仪扫描成像并进行分析,比较不同条件下芯片的显示效果。结果:蛋白质样品与片基稳定结合,并保持原活性状态;封闭试剂选用酪蛋白或明胶效果较佳;点样探针与其特异蛋白质抗体可稳定结合,结合效果与点样蛋白浓度在一定范围内呈正相关;在1.6 cm×1.6 cm的玻璃片面积上,构建了36×36=1269点的蛋白质芯片。结论:本实验条件下,蛋白质抗原或抗体可以稳定地固定于经过处理的玻璃片表面.制成免疫型蛋白芯片,并可通过随后的抗原抗体反应与荧光素标记的相应抗体或抗原结合,用生物芯片分析仪可对其荧光信号进行检测分析。     

Pretransplant Exposure to Donor HLA-DR Antigen in Random Transfusion Units and the Development of Donor Antigen-Specific Hyporeactivity

Our previous studies have shown that the in vitro assay of donor antigen-specific hyporeactivity is a useful marker for identifying solid organ transplant recipients (kidney, lung and heart) at low risk for immunologic complications (i.e., late acute rejection episodes and chronic rejection). Donor antigen-specific hyporeactivity is defined as a significantly decreased post- vs. pretransplant proliferative response to donor antigens while response to third-party controls remains unchanged. We analyzed whether exposure to the same HLA-DR antigen pretransplant via random blood transfusion and posttransplant via the transplanted organ influenced the development of hyporeactivity. Thirty previously nontransfused recipients, each receiving two 150 ml pretransplant random blood transfusions, were assessed for hyporeactivity at 1 year posttransplant. Of the 12 recipients with pretransplant exposure to kidney HLA-DR via transfusions, 6 (50%) developed hyporesponsiveness; in contrast, of the 18 recipients who were not preexposed, only 3 (15%) exhibited this form of immunomodulation. Of interest, 2 of the 3 hyporesponsive recipients who were not preexposed, received units containing HLA-DR antigens previously shown to share crossreactive epitopes with the kidney HLA-DR. In conclusion, these results suggest a increased incidence in the development of hyporeactivity in patients receiving pretransplant transfusions which share an HLA-DR antigen with the transplanted kidney.
