简介:SIV/SHIV感染的恒河猴是研究艾滋病及艾滋病药物筛选、疫苗评价较理想的动物模型。MHC在细胞免疫中起着关键作用,研究表明,MHC-I类分子的多态性与SIV/SHIV感染者的疾病进展有着明显的关联作用,Mamu-A^*01是恒河猴中的一种MHC-I类分子,它可以呈递特定的病毒蛋白片段到细胞的表面,从而激发CTL反应。国外发现Mamu-A^*01阳性的猴艾滋病恒河猴会出现疾病进展缓慢,存活时间长等特征。本文就恒河猴Mamu-A^*01基因与SIV/SHIV感染相关的研究进展做一综述,以期进一步加深对MHC在疫苗研究中的作用的了解,并促进更行之有效地对HIV/AIDS疫苗进行评价。
简介:目的:探讨胃癌组织中烯醇化酶-α(enolase-α,ENOD、肿瘤型丙酮酸激酶(tumorM2pyruvatekinase,M2-PK)的表达、相互关系及临床病理学意义。方法:应用免疫组织化学SP染色方法分别对55例胃癌组织和23例胃良性病变组织切片染色,观察胃癌组织和良性病变组织EN01、M2.PK的表达情况及分析两者临床病理关系。结果:胃癌组织中EN01阳性表达率为67.3%(37/55),明显高于胃良性病变组30.4%(7/23)(P〈0.01),其表达与胃癌分化程度、浸润深度、淋巴结转移及TNM分期均显著相关(均P〈0.05)。M2-PK在胃癌组织中的阳性表达率为78.2%(43/55),明显高于胃良性病变组织39.1%(9/23)(P〈0.01),其表达与胃癌分化程度、浸润深度均显著相关(均P〈0.05)。胃癌组织中EN01与M2-PK的表达呈正相关(r:=0.5729,P〈0.05)。结论:EN01和M2-PK的表达上调与胃癌的发生、发展可能有关,联合检测两种蛋白在肿瘤组织中的表达,对临床判断胃癌的预后有一定的指导意义。
