Methods: Specimens of different origin, including tissues of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), human fetal liver (FL) and normal liver (NL), the hepatoma cell lines, as well as the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients with HCC or liver metastatic tumor (LMT), were used to detect the expression levels of M-CSF and M-CSF-R by ABC immunohistochemistry staining and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction methods the expression levels of M-CSF and M-CSF-R. Influence of monoclonal antibody against M-CSF (B5) or M-CSF-R (RE2) on proliferation ability of hepatoma cell linesin vitro was also studied. Results: The results showed that hepatoma tissues produced elevated levels of both M-CSF and M-CSF-R compared with those of fetal liver (P<0.001). The M-CSF/M-CSF-R expression levels of PBMC from hepatoma patients were higher than those of LMT patients (P<0.01,P<0.05) and the normal people (P<0.001). The hepatoma cell lines showed strong positive for M-CSF and M-CSF-R production. Both B5 and RE2 displayed a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the growth and proliferation of hepatoma cells. Conclusion: The study indicates a co-expression model for M-CSF-R in hepatoma cells, suggesting an involvement of M-CSF/M-CSF-R in growth signaling of those malignant cells. The M-CSF/M-CSF-R seems to function through an autonomy mechanism in human hepatoma.展开更多

The result of sequence analysis indicated that M/o gene from Pericallis hybrida B. Nord. contained about 1296bp open reading frame and encoded 431 amino acids. According to the comparison of the exogenous gene sequences by BLAST analysis and phylogenetic analysis, Mlo gene shared over 85% nucleotide homology and 98% amino acid homology. Finally, through semi-quantitative-PCR and fluorescence quantitative analysis, we found that Mlo gene showed the highest expression levels in leaves and the lowest in roots after inoculated with powdery mildew pathogen for different days.展开更多

The system is constructed with a modified helper phage M13KO7 and phagemid pCANTAB 5 E. The antigen fused to the C terminal of N1 N2 domain and the scFv to the N terminal of CT domain of the gIIIp of filamentous phage are encoded on the phage and phagemid vectors respectively. The phages produced by co transformants restore infectivity via interaction between antigen and antibody fusions in the cell periplasm. In a model system, the scFv fragment of the anti hemagglutinin 17/9 antibody and its corresponding antigen are detected in the presence of a 10 5 fold excess of a non interacting control pairs, which demonstrates this system to be very sensitive and facile to screen a large single chain antibody library.展开更多
