HBs和HCVc基因双顺反子质粒在BALB/c小鼠体内的分布

 采用注射含双顺反子质粒后,PCR法扩增不同组织中HBsAg和HCVc基因,同时检测HBV和HCV抗体应答水平.研究注射基因免疫用双顺反子质粒在小鼠组织中的分布.pcDNA3.0BApc154S₂S 1次注射BALB/c小鼠后,24 h内主要分布于血液、肝、脾、骨髓、淋巴结、注射部位肌肉、肺和肾等含血液丰富的组织中.注射后2 d主要在骨髓、血液和注射部位肌肉中存在.7 d后仅在注射部位肌肉中能检测出来,并可持续到第9周.组织切片镜检质粒注射初期肌肉细胞轻度浊肿,随后肌膜细胞轻度增生,未见其它明显的组织病理学变化.质粒多次免疫BALB/c小鼠未见明显的临床症状和病理组织学变化.质粒在小鼠体内不同组织存在时间不一致.

Immune responses of a designed HIV-1 DNA vaccine on rhesus monkeys

According to the UNAIDS/WHO report (http:// www.unaids.org/Epi2005/doc/report.html), there are about 40.3 million HIV/AIDS survivors, and the new HIV infection number amounts to about 4.9 million, while the death number is some 3.1 million in the world in…     

新型细菌幽灵疫苗的研究进展

细菌幽灵是革兰氏阴性菌被噬菌体PhiX174的裂解基因E裂解后形成的完整细菌空壳,可以作为一种候选疫苗.细菌幽灵是一种新的研发疫苗的策略,其本身所具有的佐剂性质可以加强免疫反应,包括T细胞的活化和黏膜免疫.因为细菌幽灵本身的和外源的抗原可以在细菌裂解之前就表达于膜复合物的表面,所以不同来源的抗原可以同时通过细菌幽灵呈递给免疫系统.细菌幽灵具有多种优势,包括生产方便、安全和可作为多价联合疫苗.     

研制安全病毒疫苗

主要研究内容 早期生产小儿脊髓灰质炎病毒疫苗所用猴肾原代细胞曾发生SV40病毒传播,近年患者使用人脑垂体制备的人生长激素曾传播疯牛病,人类输血及使用血源产品曾传播艾滋病病毒.诸如此类的报道近年在媒体并不鲜见,人们不禁对使用原代细胞的安全性问题产生了担忧.自人类二倍体细胞(HDC)成功用作病毒活疫苗细胞培养基质以来,异种动物传代细胞系(CCL)用作生物制品及生物工程产品细胞培养基质的重要性进一步显示出来,它必将加快传代细胞系用作病毒活疫苗培养基质的步伐.

Infectious foot-and-mouth disease virus derived from a cloned full-length cDNA of OH／CHA／99

The China foot-and-mouth virus (FMDV) isolate OH/CHA/99 was isolated from swine, which was unable to infect bovine thyroid cells in vitro or to cause typical disease in bovines following intradermal inoculation in the tongue. To enhance antigenicity, replication, maturation and pathogenicity studies of OH/CHA/99, an infectious fulllength cDNA clone, designated pBIFMDV, was prepared. The in vitro and in vivo biological properties of the virus derived from pBIFMDV were studied by analyzing antigenicity, plaque morphology and virulence in pigs. The results showed that the virus derived from pBIFMDV had the same biological properties as the parent strain OH/CHA/99; the fulllength infections cDNA clone, pBIFMDV, will be very useful in studies of the antigenicity, virulence, pathogenesis, maturation and replication of FMDV.     

Immunogenicity of recombinant fowl-pox virus co-expressing structural protein precursor P1-2A and proteinase 3C of FMDV

Two recombinant plasmids, pUTA2P1 and pUTAL3CP1, were constructed by inserting structural protein precursor P1-2A and proteinase 3C of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) into fowl-pox virus (FPV) recombinant vectors pUTA-2 and pUTA-16-LacZ respectively, and two recombinant FPVs (vUTA2P1 and vUTAL3CP1) screened by the RT-PCR, IFA assay and Western blotting assay were obtained successfully. Mice injected respectively with rFPVs were induced high level specific anti-FMDV antibodies, increasing of T subtypes, and higher cytotoxicities of splenocytes than those of control groups. These results indicated that a new method was used to construct a potential candidate vaccine of FMDV.     

两种盐对质粒DNA提取的影响

随着基因治疗及基因疫苗的不断发展,质粒的需求量迅速增加。通过以pcDNA3为目的产物,考察了在其提取过程中硫酸铵和氯化钙的加入对pcDNA3收率的影响和对杂质的去除效果。实验发现:硫酸铵和氯化钙的加入都可以明显降低质粒提取液中蛋白质、RNA杂质的含量;但是氯化钙在降低蛋白质和RNA含量的同时也降低了质粒DNA的收率。硫酸铵是去除蛋白质、RNA杂质的良好试剂,同时能够保持较高的质粒DNA收率。当质粒提取液中硫酸铵浓度加入到2.5M时,质粒的纯化因子可达到10.2,而收率在90%以上。
