植物基因工程会给人类带来灾难吗?

某些植物不能将它们的基因保持在体内，但这真的要紧吗？恶梦般的景象可能是这样展开的：农民用经过遗传工程处理使之带有战胜害虫和病害的基因的作物来覆盖他们的农田。这些作物将它们的基因传递给了野生亲缘植物，将它们变成具有超竞争力的杂草，这些杂草将整个农村闹得天翻地覆，消灭掉稀有的和脆弱的物种。环境保护主义者全线反击。面对造成严重损害的诉讼，生物工程公司提出申请破产。科林·梅里特对此感叹不已。在此以前他已经上千次听到过这样的说法，但他当时并不在意。‘“超级杂草”是这样一种带感情色彩的词汇，他说：“它还没有…     

Species-dependent stereospecific serum protein binding of the oral anticoagulant drug phenprocoumon.

13 mammalian species are classified into 3 clearcut groups with respect to the stereospecific serum protein-binding of phenprocoumon: 2 groups showing opposed stereospecific binding characteristics and a 3rd group exhibiting no stereospecific binding. Structural differences in the albumin molecule account for these stereospecific differences in serum protein-binding.     

Effects of the antiprotease Trasylol on peripheral blood leucocytes.

Binding of the antiprotease Trasylol to human peripheral blood lymphocytes and polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) was demonstrated at the ultrastructural level using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. This also revealed endocytosis of membrane bound Trasylol by PMNs. Trasylol inhibited PHA- and ConA-induced lymphocyte stimulation, and was cytotoxic to unstimulated cells.
