基因工程化分泌神经营养因子一3的鼠胚神经干细胞实验研究

：探索以Lentivirus为载体，构建同时表达绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)和神经营养因子一3(NT一3)的基因工程化鼠胚神经于细胞(NSC)的可行性。方法：体外分离培养鼠胚NSC，用同时携带NT一3和GFP的lentivirus转染构建工程化NSC；用荧光显微镜、鼠胚背根神经结培养(Dorsal Root Ganglion，DRG)、Westem blot等方法检测基因工程NSC 的转基因表达。结果：荧光显微镜观察到几乎100％的工程化NSC表达GFP：DRG培养和Westem blot检测到基因工程化NSC能高效分泌NT一3蛋白。结论：以IJentivirus为载体，构建同时携带并稳定表达GFP和N‘r_3的基因工程化鼠胚NSC是可行的，可为脊髓损伤基础研究提供有价值的细胞资源。

Compact 3-dB tapered multimode interference coupler in silicon-on-insulator

We have fabricated a compact 3-dB multimode interference coupler with a large silicon-on-insulator cross section. To reduce the length of the usual symmetric interference multimode interference coupler, we propose using a parabolically tapered structure. The length of the device is 398 mum. The device has a uniformity of 0.28 dB. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
