简介:摘要目的对比破伤风疫苗在BALB/c与NIH小鼠中的免疫效果,探讨将BALB/c小鼠用于破伤风疫苗效力实验的可能。方法将破伤风毒素系列稀释至适当的浓度范围,根据小鼠存活情况摸索合适的毒素浓度,重复实验,测定BALB/c和NIH小鼠的破伤风毒素半数致死量(median lethal dose,LD50) 。分别用BALB/c和NIH小鼠的破伤风毒素2 LD50同时攻击BALB/c与NIH小鼠,考察BALB/c和NIH小鼠对破伤风毒素的敏感性。将破伤风疫苗稀释50、100、200倍,分别作为高剂量组、中剂量组、低剂量组免疫BALB/c和NIH小鼠,免疫4周后用50 LD50破伤风毒素攻毒,观察小鼠死亡情况。结果BALB/c小鼠的破伤风毒素2 LD50 为0.16 μg/ml;NIH小鼠的破伤风毒素2 LD50为0.23 μg/ml。用0.16 μg/ml的破伤风毒素分别注射BALB/c和NIH小鼠各3组,每组6只,BALB/c小鼠死亡动物数为3、3、2,NIH小鼠死亡动物数为0、0、0。用0.23 μg/ml的破伤风毒素分别注射BALB/c和NIH小鼠各3组,每组6只,BALB/c小鼠死亡动物数为6、6、6,NIH小鼠死亡动物数为3、2、3。3批破伤风疫苗免疫后的BALB/c与NIH小鼠采用相同攻毒剂量,每组14只,BALB/c小鼠攻毒后,高剂量组存活数为13、14、14,中剂量组存活数为10、10、9,低剂量组存活数为4、3、4;NIH小鼠攻毒后,高剂量组存活数为10、10、10,中剂量组存活数为6、7、6,低剂量组存活数为0、0、1。结论BALB/c小鼠比NIH小鼠对破伤风毒素具有更高的敏感性,能更好地对破伤风疫苗产生免疫应答,在破伤风疫苗效价测定实验中是一种较为理想的小鼠品系。

简介:[目的]建立具有潮霉素B(hygromycinB)抗性的3T3细胞系,用于转染目的基因(pTRE2-human-Ins)的ES阳性细胞克隆筛选的饲养层。[方法]通过脂质体转染的方法,将含有潮霉素B磷酸转移酶基因(hyg)的质粒pHyg导入NIH3T3细胞中,利用潮霉素B的药物选择特性,对转染细胞进行压力筛选,并对其进行PCR和southernblot鉴定。[结果]经300ug/ml的潮霉素B压力筛选后,获得了抗性细胞克隆。抗性NIH3T3细胞的形态和生长速度与正常NIH3T3细胞没有差异,特异性核苷酸引物检测抗性细胞基因组DNA,可以扩增出相应的核苷酸片段,Southernblot鉴定结果表明潮霉素基因片段已整合入潮霉素抗性NIH3T3细胞。[结论]本实验通过脂质体介导的方法成功地培育了潮霉素B抗性的NIH3T3细胞,为进行目的基因(pTRE2-human-Ins)转染ES细胞的阳性细胞克隆筛选打下了基础。
