ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the immunologic protection of selenium on gastric mucosal lesions of BALB/C mice infected by Helicobacter pylori (HP). Method:The model was built by ig HP in BALB/C mice and then effects of selenium on gastric mucosal lesions and the CD4、CD8 cells were observed.HP was examined by both of bacterial culture and rapid usease test (RUT). Results:1.0 ?g/g bw selenium could effectively prevent gastric mucosal damages induced by HP. HP could decreased the ratio of CD4 to CD8,but selenium could enhance the activity of CD4 cell and increase the ratio. Conclusion: Se can effectively prevent the gastric mucosal damages of mice infected by HP. One of the mechanisms is that Se can enhance the CD4 activity and increase CD4 /CD8.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the expression and relationship among CD44V6,p16 and PCNA in gastric mucosal lesions with HP infection. Methods Expression of CD44V6,p16 and PCNA were investigated in 114 gastric mucosal lesions by use of immunohistochemistry.HP was examined by both Warthin -Starry method and RUT. Ruselts Comparing HP positive group (P
ABSTRACT
Objective:To detect anti-LKM-1 antibody with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a recombinant fusion peptide which comprises 257-351 amino acid fragment of CYP2D6 as antigen.Methods:We obtained CYP2D6 cDNA fragment by means of PCR,using total liver cDNA library as the template.The PCR products were ligated into pEGH expressing vector to construct the recombinant expressing vector with high efficiency in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Y258.The positive clones were identified by PCR reaction and then induced by galactose.Glutathione-Sepharose 4B was used for purification of recombinant CYP2D6 protein.After affinity purification,the antigenicity was identified with Western blot.Serum samples from 26 patients who were positive for anti-LKM-1 antibody,20 patients with other connective tissue disorder(CTD) and 30 normal controls were retrospectively tested with ELISA.Results:A fusion peptide was expressed and purified.The antigenicity was confirmed with Western blot using standard of anti-LKM-1 antibody-positive serum.Of the 26 serum samples which are positive for anti-LKM-1 antibody,5 of 6 samples positive for anti-HCV antibody also recognized the recombinant fusion peptide with ELISA,only one serum sample which was showed positive anti-HCV antibody displayed a negative result in ELISA assay.All other 20 patients with positiv anti-LKM-1 antibody were shown positive in ELISA assay using this recombinant peptide.All the serum samples from patients with other CTD were negative in ELISA assay.Conclusion:The recombinant antigen fragment contains major epitope regions in natural CYP2D6 antigen.Detection of anti-LKM-1 antibody with ELISA using the recombinant peptide can improve the sensitivity and has a potential role in determining its clinical association.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To detect the oipA gene of Helicobacter pylori(Hp)strains NCTC11637 and Hp1,Hp2 isolated from clinical biopsies,analyze their nucleotide sequences and make a homologous comparison of nucleotide with Hp 26695.Methods:The oipA gene was detected with PCR in Helicobacter pylori(Hp)strains NCTC11637 and Hp1,Hp2 isolated from clinical gastric biopsies after routine culture.Then PCR products were sent out for nucleotide sequence analysis and compared with Hp 26695.Results:The sequence of the aim gene was obtained in NCTC11637 and Hp1,Hp2 and was made a homologous comparison of nucleotide with 26695.The number of mutation of NCTC11637,Hp1 and Hp2 and was 48,48,50 respectively.The identity was 94%,94% and 94% respectively,while the strain Hp1 was most identical to 11637 as much as 100%.The homology of Hp2 and 11637 was 97%.Conclusion:Hp1,Hp2 and NCTC11637 expresse gene oipA,but the sequences of gene oipA of different strains are distinct.
