ABSTRACT

Se describe un proceso discontinuo para la producción del factor de crecimiento epidérmico humano (EGF-h) en Saccharomyces cerevisiae, con el promotor de la gliceraldehido 3-fosfato deshidrogensa (GAP) y el sistema de secreción del factor alfa. La proteina se excreta al medio de cultivo lo que facilita la purificación. Utilizando separaciones cromatográficas de intercambio iónico y exclusión molecular se obtuvo un producto de pureza superior al 95% según los análisis en cromtografía de fase inversa y electroforesis en geles SDF poliacrilamida. El proceso mostró un rendimiento de 36%. Se demostró que el producto obtenido fue biológicamente activo

ABSTRACT

La obtención de interferón 2b humanos recombinante (IFN alfa 2b hr) en E. coli, en forma insoluble, hace necesario el estudio del ratamiento de las muestras para su cuantificación mediante un sistema inmunoenzimático tipo ELISA. De los sistemas analíticos ensayados para la extracción de proteina insoluble, el óptimo resultó una modificación del tapón L aemmli con un 1 % de SDS y 2,5 % de 2-merceptoetanol. Las proteinas de la cepa productora y la mayoría de los sistemas tampones empleados no influyeron sobre el reconocimiento inmunológico del interferón a diluciones mayores de 1/500

ABSTRACT

Se aplicaron diferentes métodos analíticos al control del proceso de purificación del Factor de Crecimiento Epidérmico humano recombinante (r-hEGF). El radioinmunoensayo en fase liquida con anticuerpos policlonales permitió con sensibilidad de 0,5 ng/ml cuantificar la proteína durante el proceso de producción. Se demostró la factibilidad del uso de anticuerpos monoclonales en sistemas en solución y en fase sólida para sustitución de los anticuerpos policlonales. La separación con interacción hidrofóbica permitió la caracterización cromatográfica del r-hEGF evidenciando dos especies moleculares. Se estudió el comportamiento electroforético y se establecieron las condiciones óptimas para aplicar los sistemas elecforéticos en geles de poliacrilamida con dodecil sulfato de sodio (SDS-PAGE) como críterio de pureza del producto final

ABSTRACT

Polioencephalomalacia (PEM), a disease first described in the United States and related to intensive beef production, appeared in Cuba coincident with the use of a new, molasses-urea-based diet to fatten bulls. Because the only experimental means so far of reproducing PEM has been with amprolium, a structural analog of thiamin, the present study attempted to induce the disease using the molasses-urea-based diet. Six Holstein bulls (200-300 kg) were studied during consumption of three successive diets: 1) commercial molasses-urea-restricted forage diet of Cuban feedlots, 2) a period in which forage was gradually withdrawn and 3) a forage-free diet composed only of molasses, urea and fish meal. PEM was reproduced in this way. At ten-day intervals, blood concentrations of glucose, lactate, pyruvate and urea were measured, as well as when clinical signs of PEM appeared. The signs, clinical course and lesions of the experimentally induced disease were comparable to those of field cases. The biochemical results suggested a block in pyruvate oxidation as in PEM elsewhere in the world. No evidence existed of urea intoxication. In addition, brain and liver concentration of total thiamin from field cases and normal animals were found to be similar.

ABSTRACT

Data on blood glucose concentration in bulls affected with molasses associated polioencephalomalacia are controversial. It has been suggested that the brain lesions are related to a "hypoglycemic state" during the development of polioencephalomalacia. This paper reports the mobilization of glucose by means of the epinephrine test in three bulls fed two diets, one forage based and the other molasses based. The results showed significantly greater hyperglycemic responses in the animals during the molasses diet than during the forage one. This probably means that glucose stores (as glycogen) are higher in cattle consuming molasses than those consuming forage. Such hepatic glucose output is in disagreement with the hypoglycemia theory as the cause of the early stages of brain lesions and focuses the probable cause as being related to glucose utilization.
