Identification of a New Member of the Ep-CAM (17-1A) Tumor-Associated Antigen Family

IntroductionThe tumor- associated antigen,epithelial celladhesion molecule (Ep- CAM ) ,defined by themurine m Ab1 7- 1 A,is expressed on the surface ofvarious types of normal and malignant humanepithelial tissues,which makes it an attractivetarget for immunotherapy[15] . Adjuvantimmunotherapy treatment with the m Ab 1 7- 1 Asuccessfully reduced the 5 - year mortality andrecurrence rate among colorectal cancer patientswith minimal residual disease[6 ] .　Studies on Ep- CAM,alias 1 7- 1 A a…     

龙虎山猕猴(Macaca mulatta)麻疹病毒感染的探讨

采用HI(血凝抑制试验)法,比较在不同生境中,龙虎山猕猴麻疹病毒抗体阳性率的差异:小群关养组的阳性率为90.9%;半野生猴组阳性率为28.3%;野生猴组阳性率为2.4%。不同性别及不同年龄猴麻疹病毒抗体阳性率没有显著性差异(P>0.01)。半野生猴组阳性率逐年递增。对建立无麻疹、B病毒等病毒感染繁殖种群提出初步意见。     

蛋白激酶C单克隆抗体的制备

应用杂交瘤技术制备了蛋白激酶C(PKC)的单克隆抗体,用蛋白A-Sepharose-CL4B协同沉淀复合物分析单抗识别的蛋白,分子质量与PKC相同。采用该抗体对正常和转化的C_3H_(10) T_(1/2)细胞进行免疫荧光观察,发现它们的PKC含量明显不同。但荧光分布都主要集中在细胞质和细胞膜部分。     

Aberrant DNA methylation patterns in cultured mouse embryos

Mouse early embryos undergo genome-wide demethylation and remethylation events during pre-implantation development. Abnormal methylation reprogramming is thought to be associated with development arrest. Using immunofluorescence staining with an antibody against 5-methylcytosine (MeC), we examined the genome methylation patterns of mouse embryos cultured in vitro. The results did not show the difference in staining patterns between development-blocked two-cell embryos that cultured in vitro and the two-cell embryos that were freshly collected from the donor mice. But in vitro-arrested morulae displayed a strong positive staining when compared to the morulae freshly collected from the donor mice. At the blastocyst stage, although most embryos showed the expected methylation patterns, with highly stained inner cell mass (ICM) and weekly stained trophectoderm (TE), a proportion of embryos were dimly stained in both ICM and TE. These results indicated that the methylation profile of the embryos could be changed by culturing in vitro when the embryos were in the transition from morulae to blastocyst.     

Carbohydrate interference of complement-dependent cell lysis

Summary The antibody-mediated cytotoxicity of three autoreactive sera, an allogeneic hyperimmune serum and a xenogeneic hyperimmune serum was abrogated by the presence of either glucosamine, galactosamine, lactulose or lactose. This inhibition could be overcome in a dose-dependent fashion by increasing the amount of complement in the cytotoxicity assay, but not by increasing the amount of antibody. Furthermore, the inhibition was specific for these sugars in that isomers and N-acetylated derivatives were not inhibitory. The results suggest that these sugars directly blocked events of the complement cascade.     

Smurf2单克隆抗体的制备与鉴定

Smad泛素调节因子家族的两个E3泛素连接酶成员Smurf1和Smurf2 (Smad ubiquitin regulatory factor 1 and 2)具有至少80％的同源性.为了更好地研究它们的功能,需要获得一个能区分Smurf1和Smurf2的单克隆抗体.选取Smurf2与Smurf1蛋白序列中仅有的非同源区域序列作为抗原免疫Bal b/C小鼠,成功制备若干株能稳定分泌抗Smurf2抗体的杂交瘤细胞株.对所获得的单克隆抗体的效价和特异性等进行一系列检测,结果表明该抗体能特异性地识别过表达及细胞内源Smurf2蛋白.此外该抗体能被应用于Western blot和免疫荧光实验,从而为深入研究Smurf2的细胞生物学功能提供了良好的实验基础.
