SLA 的分型与检测

:传统的强调抗原多态性的SLA 分型方法主要是血清学、细胞学和生物化学的方法,随着分子生物学技术发 展,各具特点的SLA 分型技术不断涌现,如PCR2RFL P 法、PCR2SSCP 法、微卫星(MS) 法、DNA 序列的测定等,基于 强调SLA 的抗原多态性的分型和强调抗原保守性的功能学上的新分型技术(如SLA 超型和超基序) 进行了详细探 讨,比较了各类方法的优缺点,指明了未来SLA 分型的发展趋势。此外还指出了现行参考教材血清学SLA 单倍型 的编写错误以及重点强调了SL A2DQB 基因的准确分型技术必须借鉴于克隆测序。

Identification of monozygotic twin chimpanzees by microsatellite analysis

Zygosity determination is important for epidemiological, biological, obstetric, and prognostic studies in both human and nonhuman primates. In this study, microsatellite loci were used to screen a pair of chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) twins and their parents. The twins share identical alleles at all loci tested. The probability of dizygotic origin is estimated to be 2.9 x 10(-11). Even after excluding linkage of loci on the same chromosome, the probability is still low enough (3.7 x 10(-9)) to exclude dizygotic origin. MHC typing was also done on Patr-DRB and Patr-DQB loci and the twins share identical alleles at both loci, consistent with the microsatellite results. Together these results demonstrate a monozygotic origin for the chimp twins. Our results suggest that microsatellite analysis is a powerful method for zygosity determination, which can be screened reliably and efficiently. Am. J. Primatol. 52:101-106, 2000.

Reconstructing the evolutionary history of China: A caveat about inferences drawn from ancient DNA

The decipherment of the meager information provided by short fragments of ancient mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is notoriously difficult but is regarded as a most promising way toward reconstructing the past from the genetic perspective. By haplogroup-specific hypervariable segment (HVS) motif search and matching or near-matching with available modem data sets, most of the ancient mtDNAs can be tentatively assigned to haplogroups, which are often subcontinent specific. Further typing for mtDNA haplogroup-diagnostic coding region polymorphisms, however, is indispensable for establishing the geographic/genetic affinities of ancient samples with less ambiguity. In the present study, we sequenced a fragment (similar to 982 bp) of the mtDNA control region in 76 Han individuals from Taian, Shandong, China, and we combined these data with previously reported samples from Zibo and Qingdao, Shandong. The reanalysis of two previously published ancient mtDNA population data sets from Linzi (same province) then indicates that the ancient populations had features in common with the modem populations from south China rather than any specific affinity to the European mtDNA pool. Our results highlight that ancient mtDNA data obtained under different sampling schemes and subject to potential contamination can easily create the impression of drastic spatiotemporal changes in the genetic structure of a regional population during the past few thousand years if inappropriate methods of data analysis are employed.

第五届国际白细胞分化抗原会议及新命名的分化抗原

1993年11月3—7日在美国波士顿召开了第五届国际人白细胞分化抗原会议，与会代表共1000多名，大陆学者lO余名. 会议交流论文854篇. 全世界500多个实验室历经两年对1450个单克隆抗体进行了分析，鉴定出150个分子. 会议命名了48个新CD群和亚群，重新确定了14个原来命名的CD群. 详细资料请查白细胞分化抗原数据库(Leukocyte Differentia. tionntigen Database，LDAD)和由Schlossman，SF等主编的(Leukocyte Typing V：White cell diferentiation antigen)(1994)-书. 下表概括了新增加和变化的CD群。

卡式微柱凝胶法在猴血型鉴定中的应用

下载PDF阅读器灵长类动物的ABO血型抗原都表达在组织器官内,而不是在红细胞上,这给灵长类动物血型的鉴定带来很大的困难.为找到更加简捷、准确鉴定灵长类动物类人ABO血型的方法,采用近年来临床上广泛应用的卡式微柱凝胶正、反定型法对34只猕猴和16只食蟹猴的血型进行了鉴定,并与肾组织免疫组化法的检测结果进行比较.结果显示:卡式微柱凝胶正定型法的检测结果中无一例为阳性结果;血浆中的纤维蛋白原和人-猴种属间非特异性抗体都会对卡式微柱凝胶反定型法的部分检测结果产生干扰;采用经正常人O型红细胞吸附处理后的清亮血清,卡式微柱凝胶反定型法的检测结果明确,与免疫组化法判定结果一致.由此得出:卡式微柱凝胶反定型法可以用于灵长类动物血型的鉴定,其主要干扰因素为血浆内的纤维蛋白原和人-猴种属间非特异性抗体,在采用清亮血清及经正常人O型红细胞吸附处理后能消除其干扰.

Footwear for Gender Recognition

Conventionally, biometrics resources, such as face, gait silhouette, footprint, and pressure, have been utilized in gender recognition systems. However, the acquisition and processing time of these biometrics data makes the analysis difficult. This letter demonstrates for the first time how effective the footwear appearance is for gender recognition as a biometrics resource. A footwear database is also established with reprehensive shoes (footwears). Preliminary experimental results suggest that footwear appearance is a promising resource for gender recognition. Moreover, it also has the potential to be used jointly with other developed biometrics resources to boost performance.
