利用AFM和SNOM对淋巴细胞膜表面超微结构及其光学性质的初步研究

利用原子力显微镜(Atomic Force Microscopy，AFM)对淋巴细胞表面形貌进行了形态学的初步研究，观察到了其膜表面其他显微技术所不能发现的超微结构．同时也运用扫描近场光学显微镜(Scanning Near field Optical Microscopy，SNOM)对淋巴细胞进行成像，观察了其对光的透射、吸收等光学性质，并对两种成像方法进行了比较．研究发现：淋巴细胞膜表面凹凸不平，分布着大量直径几十到几百纳米不等的小颗粒；淋巴细胞中央部位有自发荧光现象．结果表明，AFM和SNOM可作为进一步探讨淋巴细胞的结构与功能关系的有力工具．     

利用钐掺杂氧化铈提高燃料电池阳极活性

用浸渍法制备并采用交流阻抗、极化等技术考察了不同组成的Ni-Sm3＋掺杂的CeO2(SDC) 复合镍阳极的电化学性能及相应电池的功率输出性能.结果表明，SDC掺入镍阳极后,阳极极化过电位及电池的欧姆电阻显著减小.其中阳极过电位的减小与SDC掺入镍电极引起的三相界扩展有关，但SDC的掺入同时引起了电极反应活化能的增加,造成低温下Ni-SDC的极化过电位大于纯Ni电极.高温下,Ni-SDC阳极的阻抗谱由两个半圆组成，其中高频半圆随着SDC掺入量的增加而减小,而低频环与SDC的掺入量基本无关.低温下只观察到一个高频环.高频环可能对应三相界反应,而低频环可能对应氢的解离吸附及扩散.75％（w）Ni-25％（w）SDC/La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O3(LSGM)/Sm0.5Sr0.5CoO3(SSC)在所研究的电池中具有最大功率输出密度，其值在1073、973、873 K下分别达到1.1、0.43、0.14 W•cm－2.     

MTT法测定稀土离子对BEL-7402及K562细胞的毒性及增殖毒性

用MTT法测定稀土离子在不同浓度、不同培养液中,与BEL 7402和K562细胞作用不同时间,对细胞的毒性和增殖毒性。结果表明,在含10%小牛血清培养液中,仅个别稀土离子在较高浓度时对BEL 7402细胞增殖有较弱的抑制作用;对于K562细胞,稀土离子在低浓度时对细胞增殖即表现出较强的抑制作用(P<0.05)。当培养液不含小牛血清时,较低浓度的稀土离子即可抑制BEL 7402细胞的增殖(P<0 05)。     

Synthesis of tumor-associated glycopeptide antigens for the development of tumor-selective vaccines

In contrast to normal cells, the glycoprotein profile on epithelial tumor cells is distinctly altered. Due to an incomplete formation of the glycan side-chains resulting from a premature sialylation, additional peptide epitopes become accessible to the immune system in mucin-type glycoproteins on tumor cells. These tumor-associated structure alterations constitute the basis for a selective immunological attack on cancer cells. For the construction of immunostimulating antigens, glycopeptide partial structures from the mucins MUC1 and MUC4 carrying the tumor-associated sialyl-T(N), alpha2,6-sialyl-T and alpha2,3-sialyl-T antigens have been synthesized. Employing different linkers such as the allylic HYCRON or the fluoride-sensitive PTMSEL anchor, the antigenic glycopeptide structures were constructed on the solid phase utilizing pre-assembled glycosyl amino acid building blocks prepared in solution by convergent chemical or chemoenzymatic strategies. The proliferation of cytotoxic T cells has been induced applying a construct composed of a sialyl-T(N) MUC1-glycopeptide conjugated with a tetanus toxin T cell peptide epitope.     

ISOLATION,CHARACTERIZATION AND EXPRESSION OF THE COMPLEMENTARY DNA FOR HUMAN TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR (TNF-α)

A cDNA for human TNF-α (615bp) was isolated by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using first strand cDNA from PMA-induced HL-60 cells as template. The result from sequencing the 615 bp cDNA fragment indicated that it corresponded to the entire sequence of mature human TNF coding region. Direct expression of mature human TNF was achieved using a plasmid pHT-1 constructed by ligation of the cDNA and a synthetic DNA. The IPTG-induced bacterial product (hTNF) showed cytotoxicity to mouse L-929 cells. The TNF activity was further identified by neutralization of a specific monoclonal antibody against human TNF-α. Approximately 80,000 units of activity were detected per ml of culture at A600=2.     

γ-聚谷氨酸在细胞冻存中的作用

无DMSO、无血清细胞冻存液在临床级细胞产品的冷冻保存中具有重要的应用价值。本文以K562细胞为模型,设置含10%(v/v)DMSO及胎牛血清的冻存液为阳性对照,含10%(v/v)甘油的RPMI 1640培养基冻存液为阴性对照组,含10%(v/v)甘油及0.01%(w/v)γ-PGA的RPMI 1640培养基冻存液为实验组,考察了在无DMSO、无血清细胞冻存体系中γ-聚谷氨酸对细胞的冷冻保护作用。将K562细胞以1×10^6cells/mL的密度分别悬浮在上述冻存液中,置于液氮冻存10周,检测复苏后K562的细胞复苏率、细胞形态以及复苏后细胞的扩增情况,以评判γ-聚谷氨酸在无DMSO无血清冻存液中对K562细胞的冷冻保护作用。结果显示,实验组的细胞复苏率为(83.00±3.00)%,明显高于阴性对照组的(70.33±5.51)%(p<0.05)和阳性对照组的(71.00±2.65)%(p<0.05);且实验组冻存后的细胞形态完整,冻存前后细胞的平均直径及圆度基本一致,细胞复苏后培养24h后的细胞活性为(88.83±14.29)%,明显高于阴性对照组的(67.51±5.20)%(p<0.05),与阳性对照组的(78.75±3.31)%没有显著性差异,同时复苏后细胞扩增的延滞期明显缩短。可见,在无DMSO、无血清的甘油冻存体系中添加γ-PGA可显著提高细胞的冻存效果,具有良好的实际应用价值。

An Absence of Non-specific Immune Response towards para-Sulphonato-calix[n]arenes

The effects of para-Sulphonato-calix[4]arene, para-Sulphonato-calix[6]arene and para-Sulphonato-calix[8]arene on the activation of NADPH oxidase in neutrophils has been studied. All three molecules do not induce NADPH oxidase activation, and hence do not stimulate neutrophils. Measurement of cell viability demonstrates that these three water-soluble calix[n]arene derivatives are not cytotoxic.
