Ninety grouper (Epinephelus awoara) were separated into three equal size groups. An experimental group was immunized with pcFlaA, Control I group was immunized with the vector pcDNA3.1(+), and Control 1I group was immunized with PBS. The expression of pcFlaA mRNA and protein was examined using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. We also evaluated the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of pcFlaA against V. harveyi by measuring the lymphocyte proliferation response and serum levels of specific antibody and conducting a bacterial challenge test. We successfully transfected the fish muscle with pcFlaA. The pcFlaA mRNA and protein was expressed in the muscle cells for up to one month following injection. The proliferation response of lymphocytes in fish immunized with pcFlaA was significantly higher than in control group II. Furthermore, the immunized fish generated specific antibody. The vaccination also resulted in significantly higher survival during the bacterial challenge test.展开更多

Transparent oxyfluoride silicate precursor glasses and glass ceramics with the novel composition (1) SiO2-PbO-PbFE-Er2O3, (2) SiO2-GeOE-PbO-PbFE-Er2O3 (3) SiO2-Al2O3-Y2O3-Na2O-NaF-LiF-Er2O3-YbF3 doped with Er^3...Transparent oxyfluoride silicate precursor glasses and glass ceramics with the novel composition (1) SiO2-PbO-PbFE-Er2O3, (2) SiO2-GeOE-PbO-PbFE-Er2O3 (3) SiO2-Al2O3-Y2O3-Na2O-NaF-LiF-Er2O3-YbF3 doped with Er^3+ and co-doped with Er^3+/Yb^3+ ions were synthesized. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and Er3+ absorption spectra revealed precipitation of PbF2 nanocrystals dispersed in the glassy matrix. Under 980 nm laser excitation, intense green, red and near IR bands of upconversion luminescence (UCL) were recorded both before and after heat treatment. In the glass ceramics the upconversion intensity increased significantly. To our knowledge, for the first time the composition of the glass ceramics characterized by the small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) showed the cluster organization of PbF2 nanocrystals.展开更多
