基于HLA的仿真模型管理方法研究

“仿真是一种基于模型的活动”，任何仿真系统都不能离开模型的支持，如果每次开发新的系统都要重新建立模型，费时费力。随着仿真系统的日益复杂，导致仿真模型的结构也日趋复杂，模型管理亦日趋繁琐。因此，研究一种有效的模型管理方法，对于方便模型重用，提高开发效率有着重要的意义。实现对模型的有效管理，首先需要明确管理对象，然后把模型有条理的分类并且规范的描述出来，最后把模型存储在数据库中，供用户重用。论文首先在HLA联邦开发执行过程的基础上，分析和完善了HLA仿真建模体系，明确了HLA仿真中模型的层次；然后总结了现有的模型分类方法，从方便模型统一管理的角度，提出了一种可扩展的模型分类方法；引入了元数据和XML技术，实现了对模型的规范化描述；根据课题研究目的，提出了仿真模型管理系统的设计目标，并设计了系统的体系结构、功能模块和数据结构；最后，综合应用数据库、VC++等技术，实现了模型存储、模型的增、删、改、查以及用户管理等功能，实现了对于模型的统一管理。

Construction and evaluation of DNA vaccines encoding Edwardsiella tarda antigens

Edwardsiella tarda is an opportunistic pathogen that can infect humans, animal, and fish. Two E. tarda antigens, Eta6 and FliC, which are homologues to an ecotin precursor and the FliC flagellin, respectively, were identified by in vivo-induced antigen technology from a pathogenic E. tarda strain isolated from diseased fish. When used as a subunit vaccine, purified recombinant Eta6 was moderately protective against lethal challenge of E. tarda in a Japanese flounder model, whereas purified recombinant FliC showed no apparent immunciprotectivity. Similarly, DNA vaccines based on eta6 and fliC in the form of plasmids pEta6 and pFliC induced, respectively, moderate and marginal protection against E. tarda infection. To improve the vaccine efficacy of eta6, a chimeric DNA vaccine, pCE6, was constructed, which encodes Eta6 fused in-frame to FliC. pCE6 was found to induce significantly higher level of protection than pEta6. Likewise, another chimeric DNA vaccine, pCE18, which expresses FliC fused to a previously identified E. tarda antigen Et18, elicited significantly stronger protective immunity than the DNA vaccine based on et18 alone. Fish immunized with pEta6 and pCE6 produced specific serum antibodies and exhibited significantly enhanced expression of the genes encoding elements that are involved in both innate and adaptive immune responses. Furthermore, the induction magnitudes of most of these genes were significantly higher in pCE6-vaccinated fish than in pEta6-vaccinated fish. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Developing A Microfluidic-Based System To Quantify Cell Capture Efficiency

Micro-fabrication technology has substantial potential for identifying molecular markers expressed on the surfaces of tissue cells and viruses. It has been found in several conceptual prototypes that cells with such markers are able to be captured by their antibodies immobilized on microchannel substrates and unbound cells are flushed out by a driven flow. The feasibility and reliability of such a microfluidic-based assay, however, remains to be further tested. In the current work, we developed a microfluidic-based system consisting of a microfluidic chip, an image grabbing unit, data acquisition and analysis software, as well as a supporting base. Specific binding of CD59-expressed or BSA-coupled human red blood cells (RBCs) to anti-CD59 or anti-BSA antibody-immobilized chip surfaces was quantified by capture efficiency and by the fraction of bound cells. Impacts of respective flow rate, cell concentration, antibody concentration and site density were tested systematically. The measured data indicated that the assay was robust. The robustness was further confirmed by capture efficiencies measured from an independent ELISA-based cell binding assay. These results demonstrated that the system developed provided a new platform to effectively quantify cellular surface markers effectively, which promoted the potential applications in both biological studies and clinical diagnoses.

树突状细胞与HIV-1 辅助蛋白相互作用的体外研究——新的实验体系的建立与应用

树突状细胞（DC）是免疫系统中具有多种免疫功能的关键细胞，但在HIV/AIDS 患者 体内，虽有大量病毒及抗原存在，却不能有效地激发特异性免疫应答。最新的研究显示， HIV/AIDS 血源和性传染的途径虽有不同，但DC 均是早于T 细胞而最先遭受感染的“第一 靶细胞”。已知辅助蛋白（Nef、Rev、Tat、Vif、Vpr 和Vpu）是HIV-1 在宿主细胞内复制 和致病的根本因素。而哪种辅助蛋白、如何影响DC 功能，至今研究结果甚少，结论杂乱 不一。 本论文作为HIV-1 影响DC 功能研究的实验体系部分，旨在为系统比较研究6 个辅助 蛋白对DC 功能的调节和机理奠定基础。采用分子生物学和免疫学技术方法，把辅助蛋白 基因从DNA 和mRNA 水平导入目的细胞DC，在DC 前体及其分化、成熟的各个时相， 连续、动态地分析辅助蛋白对DC 特征性表面标志及免疫相关基因的表达水平、摄取和处 理抗原、激发和调控免疫应答等功能的影响，以期揭示HIV/AIDS 患者DC 功能明显异常 和失调的原因。 首先，分别将6 个辅助蛋白基因克隆到pEGFP-N2 和pCS2+表达载体，得到具有绿色 荧光蛋白融合基因的表达载体，将分别用于DNA 和mRNA 水平转染DC。再以K562 细胞 为模型建立mRNA 转染细胞的基本方法；以人外周血CD14 单核细胞为前体，建立了体外 “2＋2”快速诱导DC 的方法。最后，利用Amaxa 转染系统，从DNA 水平研究辅助蛋白对 DC 前体（单核细胞）的功能影响。发现单核细胞转染辅助蛋白与GFP 融合基因5h 后，胞 内蛋白大量表达，且能维持表达48h；其中Nef、Tat、Vpu、Rev、Vif、Vpr 表达效率分别 为35.42%、34.42%、43.42%、 17.07%、13.65%、10.29%；单核细胞转染基因后，表型 CD14、HLA-DR、CD80、CD83、CD86、DC-SIGN 没有明显的表达变化；转染Nef、Vpu、 Rev 辅助蛋白后，单核细胞有10％凋亡；Vpr 能抑制单核细胞IL-10 的分泌，Nef 能促进分 泌IL-6。 总之，通过构建辅助蛋白的表达载体，优化DC 的体外培养过程以及mRNA 转染方法， 并成功将辅助蛋白导入DC 前体，鉴定其表型和功能变化。为研究辅助蛋白影响DC 的功 能和机制建立了稳定而可行的实验系统。

SEROLOGICAL SURVEY OF A CAPTIVE MACAQUE COLONY IN CHINA FOR ANTIBODIES TO SIMIAN TYPE-D RETROVIRUSES

Sera from 510 macaques consisting of Macaca mulatta, Macaca assamensis, Macaca fascicularis, Macaca nemestrina, and Macaca arctoides were investigated for antibodies to simian AIDS type D retrovirus (SRV) by ELISA and Western blot with viral antigens purified from supernatants of SRV-1 infected cell cultures. Of these monkeys, 104 were seropositive by ELISA; only 23 were confirmed by Western blot. The true positive reaction to SRV was found in 15 of 463 (3.2%) M. mulatta and eight of eleven (72.7%) M. assamensis.

SECRETORY MONOCLONAL IGA ANTIBODY TO HUMAN SPERM PRODUCED BY GASTROINTESTINAL IMMUNIZATION INHIBITS HUMAN SPERM ACTIVITY AND MOUSE INVITRO FERTILIZATION

BALB/c mice were immunized intragastrically with human sperm. Cells from the Peyer's patches and spleens of the immunized mice were for the preparation of hybridomas secreting antisperm monoclonal IgA (mcIgA). The specific ratio of IgA-secreting cells in Peyer's patches was much higher than that in spleen. The binding site on human sperm of 9 of 19 mcIgA was in the post-acrosomal region using an immunofluorescent assay. Two of eight selected mcIgA caused strong human sperm agglutination and three of them produced significant inhibition of mouse in vitro fertilization. No mcIgA tested caused obvious human sperm immobilization or inhibited mouse in vivo fertilization. In vitro assembly of selected mcIgA in ascites with mouse secretory component (SC) caused no significant changes in effects on sperm function and in vitro fertilization. By use of Western blotting, dimer or higher polymers were demonstrated in all selected mcIgAs and corresponding protein antigens in 6 of 8 selected mcIgAs. These results suggest that human sperm function may be inhibited and fertilization rate reduced by specific secretory IgA to human sperm and that secretory immunity to protein antigens of human sperm could be induced by intragastrointestinal immunization.

Establishment of a Chinese sturgeon Acipenser sinensis tail-fin cell line and its susceptibility to frog iridovirus

Chinese sturgeon Acipenser sinensis, a cartilaginous ganoid, is a 'living fossil' on a deeply isolated evolutionary branch. A cell line was established from Chinese sturgeon tail-fin tissue (CSTF) . These epithelial CSTF cells grew well in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium at 25 degrees C. Karyotypic analysis revealed a normal diploid karyotype with 2n = 264 and large numbers of punctate chromosomes. A strain of frog iridoviruses [Rana grylio virus (RGV)] was used to test the susceptibility of this cell line to infection. Infection was confirmed by cytopathic effect, immunofluorescence and electron-microscope observations, which detected the viral antigens or particles in the cytoplasm of RGV-infected cells. Molecular analysis further suggested that c. 550 bp DNA fragment could be cloned from the RGV-infected CSTF cells' DNA with major capsid protein gene polymerase chain reaction primers. Furthermore, after transfection with pEGFP vector DNA, the CSTF cell line produced significant fluorescent signals indicating its utility in exogenous studies.

Detection of cutaneous antibodies in excised skin explants from grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella (Valenciennes), immune to Scophthalmus maximus rhabdovirus

This study determined whether cutaneous antibodies were present in excised skin explants of grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella, immune to Scophthalmus maximus rhabdovirus (SMRV). Culture fluid from immune skin explants were assayed by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA), Western blot, indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA) and flow cytometry (FCM). iELISA showed that cutaneous antibody titres were much lower (1:12) than antiserum titres (1:1458) from intraperitoneally immunized grass carp. The phosphoprotein and matrix protein antigens of purified SMRV proteins were recognized by cutaneous antibodies from skin culture fluid using Western blot. The skin culture fluid produced staining signals in viral assembly sites and cytoplasm of SMRV-infected epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells by IFA. FCM showed that 4.39% SMRV-infected EPC cells were detected, while non-specific reaction was seen in 2% of control cells. This is the first description of cutaneous antibodies against SMRV in grass carp.
