以凡纳滨对虾（Litopenaeus vannamei）为研究对象,运用Western—blotting和免疫组织化学等现代免疫学方法,对对虾中的类Ig（immunoglobulin,免疫球蛋白）蛋白进行定性和定位研究。结果发现,虾血清中有两种分子质量约为70ku和62ku的蛋白可与抗人Ig发生特异性的结合。同时,虾血细胞——无颗粒细胞的外膜及虾类淋巴器、肝胰脏、心脏、胃和肠等5种组织器官的石蜡切片与抗人Ig反应呈不同程度的阳性,其中类淋巴器和肝胰脏显色较深。提示,虾体内确实存在能与抗人Ig发生特异性结合的类Ig蛋白,其不仅存在于虾血清中,还存在于无颗粒细胞、类淋巴器和肝胰脏等组织中,为对虾的免疫系统的研究和疾病的防治奠定基础。  相似文献   

Intercellular localization of nitrogenase in a non-heterocystous cyanobacterium (cyanophyte), <Emphasis Type="Italic">Trichodesmium</Emphasis> sp. NIBB1067     

Kaori Ohki 《Journal of Oceanography》2008,64(2):211-216

The nitrogenase activities of cyanobacteria of the genus Trichodesmium are strictly light-dependent, although they do not develop heterocysts. Recently, the development of heterocyst-equivalent cells (diazocytes) was suggested in Trichodesmium spp. However, no cells with a similar appearance to diazocytes could be found in Trichodesmium sp. NIBB1067. An immunocytochemical analysis of nitrogenase in individual cells was performed using polyclonal antibodies generated from DNA fragments of genes encoding the Fe-protein and the α-and the β-subunit of the MoFe-protein of nitrogenase of Trichodesmium sp. NIBB1067. Visualization of the antibody binding was carried out using a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody and a chromogenic substrate, 3,3′-diaminobenzidine, to avoid the masking effects caused by the bright autofluorescence emitted by Trichodesmium cells. Nitrogenase proteins were detected in almost all the cells (always higher than 95% of total cells) grown under nitrogen-limited conditions. These results indicate that Trichodesmium sp. NIBB1067 does not differentiate heterocyst-equivalent cells.  相似文献   

Detection of nitrogenase in individual cells of a natural population of <Emphasis Type="Italic">trichodesmium</Emphasis> using immunocytochemical methods for fluorescent cells     

Kaori Ohki  Yukiko Taniuchi 《Journal of Oceanography》2009,65(3):427-432

The intercellular distribution of nitrogenase was detected in a natural population of Trichodesmium spp. collected from Shitaba Bay, Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. Polyclonal antibodies raised against the Fe-protein and the MoFe-protein (α-subunit) of nitrogenase were used as probes. Visualization of the antibody binding to the nitrogenase was performed using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody and the chromogenic substrate, 3,3′-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride, to avoid the masking effects caused by the bright autofluorescence emitted by the Trichodesmium cells. Nitrogenase proteins were detected in 66 to 81% of the trichomes. More than 77% of the cells were immunostained in individual nitrogenase-containing trichome. The data show natural populations of Trichodesmium spp. do not developed heterocyst-equivalent cells.  相似文献
