简介:目的构建含有人E2F2基因和绿色荧光蛋白基因(pEGFP)的腺病毒载体,为聋病的基因治疗奠定实验基础。方法根据已知的E2F2基因序列设计并合成相应的双链DNA,将其与酶切线性化的pDC315-EGFP载体片段连接,构建穿梭质粒pDC315-GFP-E2F2,并将其与腺病毒骨架质粒pBHGlox△E1,3Cre共转染HEK293细胞,同源重组产生重组腺病毒。对重组腺病毒进行扩增、纯化及滴度测定,用聚合酶链反应和测序方法验证穿梭质粒pDC315-GFP-E2F2穿梭质粒的构建;通过荧光显微镜和Westernblot(蛋白质印迹)方法,分别检测质粒pDC315-GFP-E2F2和重组腺病毒表达E2F2蛋白情况。结果经聚合酶链反应鉴定和测序分析,证实穿梭质粒pDC315-GFP-E2F2与设计一致;经荧光显微镜检测,分别由穿梭质粒pDC315-GFP-E2F2、重组腺病毒转染的HEK293细胞均可观察到GFP表达;经WesternBlot检测出在72kDa~95kDa处有条特征带,其大小和E2F2-GFP融合蛋白(~76kDa)相吻合;滴度测定为1×1011PFU/ml(PFU,plaqueformingunit,空斑形成单位)。结论成功构建了人E2F2基因重组腺病毒载体,并能在HEK293细胞中表达。
简介:目的探讨区角活动对听障儿童学习能力发展的影响。方法选取30名4~5岁听障儿童(教改班和非教改班各15名),在教改班开展4个月的区角活动,非教改班不开展区角活动。区角活动前后,对所有听障儿童进行希一内学习能力评估中的摆方木、折纸和看图联想3项测试。随机选取15名4~5岁健听儿童,同样进行上述3项测试。采用SPSS19.0统计软件进行数据分析。同时通过访谈法对被试的家长和教师进行调查。结果参与区角活动的听障儿童在摆方木、折纸和看图联想3个方面与未参与区角活动的听障儿童存在显著性差异(P〈0.05);未参与区角活动的听障儿童与健听儿童存在极为显著的差异(P〈0.01)。结论开展区角活动对提升听障儿童的学习能力有明显作用,有助于逐渐缩小听障儿童与健听儿童的差距。
