Human Peripheral blood lymphocytes (hPBL)were separated and gathered as reacting cell; Mouse splenic lymphocyte and hPBL were mixed to incubate for a week. Destroying recipient (mouse) immune system by total body irradiation (TBI) and intraperitoneal injecting CTX、MTX; Separating and collecting hPBL; Injecting hPBL to mouse by caudal vein. Results; ①HPBL in the experiment groups(mixed mouse lymphocyte) proliferated obviously, the amount of 3H-TdR in corporation increased evidently(P<0.05); The mean percentage of CD 4、CD 8、IgG 、IgM positive cells rose markedly. ②Experiment groups,the hPBL were found in the spleen and kidney tissue, fas protein expressing, we occasionally discovered and apoptosis cells.Conclusion: The human to mouse one-way MLC has obvious lymphocyte proliferation. By these means,we succeed in inducing XGVHD and setting up a XGVHD model.展开更多

METHODS： Human-rat chimeras were achieved by in utero transplanting low-density mononuclear cells from human umbilical cord blood into the fetal rats at 9-11 d of gestation, and subsequently, a variety of methods, including flow cytometry, PCR as well as immunohistochemical assay, were used to test the human donor contribution in the recipients. RESULTS： Of 29 live-born recipients, 19 had the presence of human CD45^＋ cells in peripheral blood （PB） detected by flow cytometry, while PCR analysis on genomic DNA from 11 different adult tissues showed that 14 selected from flow cytometry-positive 19 animals possessed of donor-derived human cell engraftment in multiple tissues （i.e. liver, spleen, thymus, heart, kidney, blood, lung, muscle, gut and skin） examined at the time of tissue collection, as confirmed by detecting human 132- microglobulin expression using immunohistochemistry. Tn this xenogeneic system, the engrafted donor-derived human cells persisted in multiple tissues for at least 6 mo after birth. Moreover, transplanted human donor cells underwent site-specific differentiation into CK18-positive human cells in chimeric liver and CEHS-positive human cells in chimeric spleen and thymus of recipients. CONCLUSION： Taken together, these findings suggest that we successfully developed human-rat chimeras, in which xenogeneic human cells exist up to 6 mo later. This humanized small animal model, which offers an in vivo environment more closely resembling to the situations in human, provides an invaluable and effective approach for in vivo investigating human stem cell behaviors, and further in vivo examining fundamental mechanisms controlling human stem cell fates in the future. The potential for new advances in our better understanding the living biological systems in human provided by investigators in humanized animals will remain promising.展开更多

Methods.Rat kidney transplantation was performed according to the procedure of Kamada with some modification.Experimental rats were divided into 5 groups.The survival time of recipient rats and function of grafts after renal transplantation were observed.The sections of renal graft were stained for monoclonal antibody ICAM 1 and LFA 1, and then quantification of ICAM 1 and LFA 1 expression was accomplished by computer image analysis. Results.ICAM 1 and LFA 1 increased significantly in the renal allograft rejection group as compared with the non rejection groups(P<0 05). Conclusion.Both biopsy of renal graft and monitoring of ICAM 1 and LFA 1 are useful tools in diagnosing and treating acute rejection.展开更多

Vector-based constitutive expression of shRNA can result in stable and efficient knockdown of target genes. However, constitutive expression of shRNA imposes major limitations when analyzing the fimction of genes whose expression is vital for the survival of an organism. Inducible RNAi systems can circumvent this limitation by enabling the inhibition of expression of an essential gene only when the inducing agent is present, and the level of knockdown of the essential gene can be controlled and adjusted by the concentration of inducing agent. In this review, we briefly summarize the recent development of various inducible RNAi systems and their potential applications in drug target validation.展开更多
