简介:目的:利用DNA探针杂交技术,结合显色探针技术建立一种新型、高灵敏的免疫检测体系,用于早期先天性白内障的筛查。方法:选取3个常染色体显性遗传的先天性白内障家系中患者14例,取静脉血并提取mRNA,建立CRYAB的捕获探针及显色探针。利用DNA探针,通过碱基配对原则形成三明治结构(捕获探针-DNA探针-显色探针)检测入选者的血样。1家系6例患者静脉血利用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)法检测琢B-晶状体蛋白。结果:最佳条件下,双特异探针技术可检测到最低浓度的先天性白内障晶状体蛋白的突变基因,各突变位点检测率为99.5%~99.7%;ELISA法检测样本琢B-晶状体蛋白上调,阳性率为85.9%。双特异探针技术敏感性更高,检测位点更多,ELISA法仅局限于蛋白检测水平,精确性不高。结论:双特异探针检测技术操作简单,灵敏度高,可重复性高,经济实惠,在临床上用于产前诊断、优生优育具有重要的应用价值。
简介:目的探讨榄香烯对人喉癌Hep-2细胞生长的影响和作用机制.方法用四甲基偶氮唑盐法(methylthiazolyltetrazoliumassay,MTT)测定榄香烯对喉癌细胞的抑制作用;以透射电镜来观察其形态学变化;采用DNA末端标记法(terminaldeoxynucleotidy1transferasemediateddeoxyuridinetriphosphatenickendlabelingmethod,TUNEL)研究细胞凋亡数;用免疫组化分析bcl-2蛋白在Hep-2细胞中的表达.结果榄香烯明显抑制Hep-2细胞的生长;透射电镜观察到染色质浓缩,沿着核膜排列,形成不同形状和大小的块状;DNA末端标记法说明,凋亡细胞数随药物浓度的提高逐渐增高;免疫组化结果提示榄香烯能使Hep-2细胞bcl-2蛋白表达降低.结论榄香烯能够抑制喉癌细胞的生长,其抑制作用与细胞凋亡有关,作用机制可能与bcl-2表达降低有关.
