ABSTRACT

Members of the genus Anaplasma are important emerging tick-borne pathogens in both humans and animals in tropical and subtropical areas. Here, we investigated the presence of Anaplasma spp. in 621 sheep and 710 goats from six provinces of China. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing were conducted to determine the prevalence of Anaplasma (A.) phagocytophilum, A. ovis and A. bovis targeting the 16S ribosomal RNA or the major surface protein 4 gene. PCR revealed Anaplasma in 39.0% (240/621) of sheep and 45.5% (323/710) of goats. The most frequently detected species was A. ovis (88/621, 14.2% for sheep; 129/710, 18.2% for goats), followed by A. bovis (60/621, 9.7% for sheep; 74/710, 10.4% for goats) and A. phagocytophilum (33/621, 5.3% for sheep; 15/710, 2.1% for goats). Additionally, eight sheep and 20 goats were found to be infected with three pathogens simultaneously. DNA sequencing confirmed the presence of these three Anaplasma species in the investigated areas, and phylogenetic analysis indicated that there was geographic segregation to a certain extent, as well as a relationship between the host and cluster of A. ovis. The results of the present study provide valuable data that helps understand the epidemiology of anaplasmosis in ruminants from China.

ABSTRACT

Protein A and protein G are two well-defined immunoglobulin (Ig)-binding proteins (IBPs), which show affinity for specific sites on Ig of mammalian hosts. Protein A and protein G contained several highly homologous IgG-binding domains which had been demonstrated to have function to bind to IgG. Whether combinations of Ig-binding domains of various IBPs could produce useful novel binding properties remains interesting. We constructed a combinatorial phage library which displayed randomly-rearranged A, B, C, D and E domains of protein A, B2 and B3 domains of protein G. Four rounds molecular evolution of this library directed by all four human IgG subclasses respectively generated a common arrangement of D-C respectively which didn't exist in SpA. The dynamic loss of control phages and increase of the phages displaying two or more binding domains, especially the selective enrichment of D-C and strict selection of its linking peptides demonstrated the efficient molecular evolutions and the significance of the selected D-C arrangement. The phage binding assays confirmed that D-C possessed a binding advantage with four human IgG subclasses compared to SpA. In this work, a novel combination of Ig-binding domains, D-C, was obtained and presented the novel Ig binding properties which provided a novel candidate molecule for the purification, production and detection of IgG antibodies and a new approach for the further study of structures and functions of IBPs.

ABSTRACT

We constructed a phage-displayed random mutation library of Tat38-61(51N/55N), for studying the molecular evolution screening of HIV-1 Tat38-61 epitope. We used primers containing the random nucleotide sequences, and introduced the random mutations at the sites of 51 and 55 amino acids coding sequences into full-length Tat sequences by overlapping PCR. With the randomly mutated full-length Tat as template, the Tat38-61(51N/55N) mutants which contained recognition sequences for the Xba I in both ends were amplified by PCR using the designed primers. The mutants were cloned into Xba I site in the phagemid vector pCANTAB5S, then the recombinants were transformed into E. coli TG1, a phage-displayed the random mutation library of Tat38-61(51N/55N) was constructed by the rescue of help virus M13KO7. The results showed that the library consisted of about 5.0 x 10(6) colonies and the phage library titer was 2.65 x 10(12) TU/mL. More than 56.50% colonies in the library were positive for insertion. Sequence analysis showed that the nucleotides encoding amino acids at the sites of 51 and 55 distributed randomly. The constructed mutation library could meet the requirements for the following molecular evolution screening, and might prepare the Tat mutants for the further study of new Tat vaccine candidates.

ABSTRACT

We constructed and expressed an anti-CD3/anti-Pgp (P-glycoprotein) diabody previously. However, the two chains of diabody are associated non-covalently, resulting in being capable of dissociating. The aim of this study is to enhance the stability of the diabody. We introduced cysteine residues into the CD3 or Pgp V-domain to covalently lock the two chains together. The disulphide crosslinked diabody were expressed by Escherichia coli (E. coli) 16C9 and purified by a cation exchange column and an anti-Etag affinity chromatography. The purified proteins were verified through SDS-PAGE. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to analyse the binding properties, competitive binding capacity and stability in vitro. The dsPpg-diabody failed to form disulphide bond properly. The designed disulphide bridge between the different chains of dsCD3-diabody was formed correctly. FCM demonstrated the dsCD3-diabody has specific antigen binding activity, the same binding activity and competitive binding activity as its parent diabody. The dsCD3-diabody retained the full activity even after 72 h incubation at 37 degrees C in human serum, in contrast, the parent diabody began to lose activity after only 1 h and lose all its activity 24 hours later. The induced disulphide bond in the CD3 V-domain effectively enhanced the stability of anti-CD3/anti-Pgp diabody. The method of stabilizing a diabody by introducing a disulphide bond into is practical.

ABSTRACT

To prepare a soluble human extracellular III domain of Flt1 and analyze its biological activity. The gene encoding extracellular domain III of Flt-1 was cloned into the expression vector pAZY by RT-PCR from human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC), and induced to express in Escherichia coli by low phosphoric medium, the product was purified by E-tag affinity chromatography. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting analysis showed that Flt-1 gene domain III gene was expressed in E. coli and the yield of the soluble fusion protein was about 1.10 mg/L. Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) revealed that the Flt-1 domain III was able to bind to VEGF165 dose-dependently. Monolayer denudation assay and Transwell assay showed that the fusion protein could inhibit HUVECs migration induced by conditional medium with 50 ng/mL VEGF165 and 100 ng/mL bFGF. In conclusion, Flt-1 gene domain III gene has been successfully cloned and expressed in E. coli, which will be useful in both the research on the function of Flt-1 gene domain III and preparation of anti-Flt-1 monoclonal antibody in the future.

ABSTRACT

Background and purpose:To explore the possibility of genetic re-expression silenced by DNA aberrant hypermethylation which is a common epigenetic modification in carcinogenesis. 5-Aza-CdR, an inhibitor of DNA methylation, was used to determine the effects of expression of tumor suppressor gene E-cadherin in tumor cell lines. Methods:Methylation specific PCR(MSP) was utilized to examine methylation status of E-cad gene on breast carcinoma cell line MDA-MB-435 before and after the treatment with 5-Aza-CdR. Immunohistochemistry(IHC) was used to test the expression of E-cad protein. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR method was used to detect the changes of E-cad mRNA.Results:1).E-cad methylation was positive(116bp) and unmethylation was negative on MDA-MB-435 cell before the treatment with 5-Aza-CdR. After being treated with 5.0umol/L 5-Aza-CdR for 3 days, methylation turned negative and unmethylation positive bands(97bp) were detected. 2).The E-cad protein expression was not detected by immunohistochemistry on MDA-MB-435 cell before the treatment, while E-cad staining was positive on the cell membrane after the treatment. 3). The E-cad mRNA failed to be amplified in cells before the treatment. After incubation at variable concentrations of 0.5 ?mol/L, 1.0 ?mol/L, 2.0 ?mol/L and 5.0 ?mol/L 5-Aza-CdR for 3 days, respectively, E-cad mRNA expression was detected on the fourth day in a dose-dependent manner. Correlation between the mRNA expression level and the agent concentration was observed.Conclusions:The demethylation agent 5-Aza-CdR can reverse the aberrant E-cad methylation status in MDA-MB-435 and re-expressed E-cad mRNA and protein.
