Large-scale differential display analysis of T helper cell differentiation

We have developed a novel large-scale multicapillary fluorescent differential display (FDD) platform amenable to further automation. The power of the method is demonstrated by the analysis of T helper cell differentiation. Eight RNA samples from wild type, Stat4 knockout and Stat6 knockout mice were analyzed with 16 anchoring primers and 24 arbitrary primers, resulting in 285 294 sample peaks. Visually selected patterns of differential expression suggest two major regulatory mechanisms: activation and Stat4 genotype. A subset of the findings is reproduced in the confirmatory differential display (DD) that included technical and biological replicates. In a small fragment identification pilot study, we identify Ifi27 and Cct8 to be up-regulated by T cell activation. We present a method for the analysis of electropherogram similarity across large datasets, based on correlation of low-resolution representations of electrophoretic data. We show how it can be applied to analyze experimental and technical variables. Using this method, we demonstrate the effect of activation and genotype. In addition, agreement of our real experimental data to the theoretical basis of DD, as well as issues in anchoring primer selectivity, are studied.     

Rational design of sterically and electronically easily tunable chiral bisimidazolines and their applications in dual Lewis acid/brønsted base catalysis for highly enantioselective nitroaldol (Henry) reactions

A new addition to the rational design of sterically and electrically easily tunable chiral bis(imidazoline) ligands from chiral amino alcohols has been developed. Vast structural variation of chiral bis(imidazoline) ligands can be simply achieved by the choice of both the 1,2‐amino alcohol and its N‐1 R¹ substituent. A small library of chiral bisimidazolines ( 1 a – h ) has been constructed. The method has provided an easy and simplified route to a diverse set of air‐stable and water‐tolerant chiral bis(imidazoline) ligands on 10 g scales. The dual Lewis Acid/Brønsted base catalytic system generated from the (S)‐ 1 a /Cu(OTf)₂ complex and Et₃N was able to catalyze Henry reactions between aldehydes and nitromethane effectively at room temperature, and also to tolerate a wide scope of aldehydes with excellent enantiomeric excesses. Not only aromatic aldehydes but also aliphatic aldehydes afforded the nitroalcohol products, with enantiomeric excesses in the 93–98 % range. This dual catalytic system is among the most effective systems so far reported for the asymmetric parent Henry reactions. This work also represents the first members of the class of chiral bisimidazolines to have been demonstrated to achieve excellent enantioselectivities.     

Protolytic behavior of hydroxylated Pyrex glass surfaces in NaCl media

Adsorption of hydrogen ions from aqueous NaCl solutions at the Pyrex glass-water interface was investigated by acid-base titration (glass electrode) at 25 degrees C and at the ionic strengths 0.010, 0.030, 0.10, 1.0, and 3.0 mol dm(-3). The pH values ranged from 2 to 7. The Pyrex samples had a specific surface area of 19.2x10(3) m(2)kg(-1) and a porous structure (pores 2.4 nm thick, 280 nm long). The reactions were found to be extremely slow but showed good reversibility. The potentiometric data, due to the small effect of ionic strength on the equilibria, were fitted with a simple nonelectrostatic model based on strong specific interactions of medium ions with deprotonated silanol, >SiO(-), and boranol, >BO(-), as well as with protonated sites. The acid-base properties are described by the reactions and equilibrium constants at the infinite dilution reference state: >SiONa + H(+) <==> >SiOHNa(+), logbeta110Si=3.1+/-0.2; >SiONa + 2H(+) + Cl(-) <==> >SiOH(2)Cl + Na(+), logbeta201Si=6.75+/-0.15; >SiONa + H(+) <==> >SiOH + Na(+), logbeta100Si=1.8+/-0.2, >BONa + H(+) <==>BOH + Na(+), logbeta100B=6.4+/-0.2; >BONa + H(+) <==> >BOHNa(+), logbeta110B=6.6+/-0.2; >BONa + 2H(+) <==> >BOH(+)(2) + Na(+), logbeta200B=11.56+/-0.15.
