After using the methenamine silver-DNA staining,15 cases of eariy molluscum contagiosumtissues were examined by electron microscopy.The results showed that there was a silver-stainedDNA area(inclusion body,IB)in every cell infected with MCV. The morphogenesis and develop-ment of MCV tcok place in the IB,not in the cytoplasm area. The process of MCV morphogenesiswas firstly to synthesize virus materials(DNA) which secondly accumulated into a filament-granu-lar-like area(previrus inclusion body,PIB),and next to form some dense thin-granular-chain-likesturctures(previrus matrix,PM)in PIB,and then the bilayer membranes which cut and surroundPM to form primary MCV. The development process was from primary to intermediate,then tomatural and finally to degenerate MCV. And in the process the outer membrane,matrix,nucleusand the nuclear outermembrane of MCV had many changes.The lateral bodies were the temporalstructures and the viroplasm containing DNA in the intermediate MCV.The results suggested thatthe MCV gene may

The technique of add-on PCR was used for isolating HPV16 E7 gene from cervical carcinomabiopsy DNA in Hubei province.The E7 gene was inserted into vector pUC18.By restriction en-zyme cleavage and nucleotide sequence detection,a new recombinant plasmid was constructed andnamed it pHPV16 E7-HB. The result of nucleotide sequencing showed that the overall length ofHPV16 E7-HB gene is 294 bp,it is the same as the standard strain.But there were two C→Tmutation in HPV16 E7-HB.Anonsense mutation was identifed at codon 43.a Gln codon(CAA)was converted into ochre termination codon (TAA).The mutations occurring in 294 bp ofDNA PCR production seemed to be a structure difference between HB strain and standard strainrather than a mismatch of PCR itself.

Immunogenecity and immunoprotection of recombinant Hantaan virus nucleocapsid protrein(NP)expressed in E.coli were studied.First,mice were immunized with the recombinant NP,the titer of antibody against Hantaan virus was determineted using indirect immunofluorescenceassay,it was1:12800 in 4 weeks after immunized.Then,the spleen cells and sera of immunizedmice were transferred to 3 ̄4 day-old mice in 24 hours after the mice infected with lethal dose ofHantaan virus.The protection rates of spleen cells were 10~38%,but the sera could not protectmice from death,at the same time, it also did not change the living time of mice with lethal Han-taan virus infection. The results indicate that NP ean induce the cell-mediated immune protectionbut cannot induce the antibody-mediated immune protection and the early death in Hantaan virusinfection mice.

edes albopictus and Ae. aegypti mosquitoes from maialand China were tested for their abil-ity to transovarial transmission of dengue(DEN) viruses. DEN1~4 viruses for experiment wereprototype dengue strains(Hawaii,New Guinea,H87 and H241)and Ban18 strain of DEN4 isolat-ed from Yunnan,China.Parental females of Ae. albopictus and Ae aegypti were orally infectedwith DEN1~4 viruses,and 4559 larvae and adult of F1 and F2 generations from infected motherswere divided into 10 pools for the detection of the viruses. The positive rates of pools from Ae.albopictus of F1 were 10%(1/10) for DEN1,22.22%(2/9) for DEN2,33.33%(4/12)forDEN3 and 28.95%(11/38)for DEN4.The minimum filial infection rates(MFIR) of Ae.al-bopictus of F1 were successively 0.20%,0.71%,0.70%and 0.63%for DEN1~4.The positiverates of pools and MFIR from Ae.albopictus of F2 were 35.29%(6/17)and 0.93% for DEN 4.The positive rates of pcols from Ae.aegypti of F1 and F2 were 60%(3/5)and 33.33%(3/9),and their MFIR were 0.63 % and 0.60% for DEN4,respectively.

Y1 is an imporiant cellular transcriptional regulator which is ubiquitously expressed in vari-ous kinds of cells.The specific binding sites of YY1 protein are found in the flanking sequences ofnlany cellular aiid viral promoters.In the "high risk"huinan papilloniaviruses(HPVs)YY1 works as a traxiscriptional repressor for the viral early gene promoter.In the episomal HPV 16 genomesextracted from cervieal cancers,removal of YY1 binding sites in LCR is a repeated event, resultingin increasing the activity of viral oncogene promoter P97.In order to study the effect of revomal ofYY1 binding sites in LCR on the viral tumorigenicity,HPV16 wild-tny plasmid p1203 was usedas basic sequences,through mltiple-step-clone to construct the new HPV16 plasnuds containingdeleted and mutated LCRs. houence analysis coofirmed that pDV390 had a G to A exchiinge inthe second YY1 site,whereas PDV 1326 and pDV401 contained 115 bp aiid 143 bp deletions in therespective LCRs that revomed 2 and 4 YY1 binding sites.

More than ten Chinese hepatitis,delta virus isolates were coml,ared by sequencing the antigen-ceding regions after cloned to PGEM-3Zf(-)or PGEM-Tvector.The viruses compared in-cluded the Henan-1,Henan-2,Henan-3,Xinjiang ,Neimeng,Sichuan,Xizang,Liaoning,Beijing,Guangxi and Shanghai strains derived from asymptomatic carriers and chronic or fulminant hepatitis patients.It was found that all HDV isolates prevalente in China were genotype I but there wereat least two subgroups. The genet ic heterogeneity of HDAg-coding regions existed among theHDV isolates from different areas or population.These strains from Henan and Xinjiang areasshared over 92.1%nucleotide and 86.9%amino acid homology with Taiwan strain that repre-sents genotype IA.But the strains from Sichuan,Xizang-1,Neimeng-1,Liaoning,Beijing andGuangxi are closely related to US-1strain representing genotype IB(over 94.3%and 88.8%i-dentity in the nucleotide and amino acid sequences respectively).The Shanghai strain is closely re-lated to Italy strain and ov

In vitro hunian monocyte-line U937 cells and mouse peritoneal macrophages were inoculatedwith HSV-1,which were persistently treated with difterent cytokines since several days beforeor after inoculation. The effect of these cytokines on the infection of monocyte-niacrophages withHSV -1 was studied by virus titration,indirect immunofluorescent test for viral antigen and poly-merase chaln reaction technique for viral DNA in infected cells.The results showed that TNF - α50 u/mL,M-CSF 200 u/mL,IFN -γ1000 u/mL and IFN - α 1000 u/mL all enhanced the re-sistance of monocyte - macrophages to HSV - 1 infection,accelerated the clearance of virus DNAand inhibited the expression of viral antigen in the cells,moreover,they were antergic to the en-hancement activity of LPS for the virus replication in monocyte macrophages.

Indirect ELISA for detecting IgM antibody to HCV was established based on recombinantantigens of HCV structural and nonstructural regions.The result showed it is easy, rapid,repro-ducible, specific and sensitive.Asti HCV IgM was positive only in the sera of patients with hepatitis C,and all negative in healthy donors.There were no cross reactions with IgM antihady toHAV and HBV.The false positive and negative caused by RF and specific IgG were removed.Itis suitable for the clinical detection of IgM antibody to HCV.The sera of 24 patients with hepatitisC were assayed for anti HCV lgM.The data indicated that the positive rate is 75i)fj in thepatients with acute hepatitis C.As ALT being nornial,anti HCV IgM became undetectable or itslevel dropped. Aiiti HCV IgM was detected in 9 of 16(56.3%) patients with chronic hepatitis.Among these 9 patients with anti HCV IgM,7 were with abnormal ALT and 2 with norinalAlT. puiti HCV IgM may persist in chronic active patients.The results suggested that AntiHCV lgM is a useful

1996, 11(3): 277

he plant expression vector pROK II containing antisense ribozyme gene of rice dwarf virus(RDV)S5 was transferred to rice immature embryo by microprojectile bombardrnent.The resis-tant calli were obtained in the presence of G418. Two or three months later these calli could differ-entiate to shoot after transferred to differential medium. The transformation of the regeneratedrice plant was confirmed by Southern blot.Transgenic plants were inocuiated with viruliferous leafhopper(Nephotettix cincticeps)to determine their RDV resistance.The results showed thatthe infection of RDV was not prevented but the symptoms were milder than control.Most of thetransgenic rice plants were fertile while the control was not.In order to assay the RDV replica-tion,virus concentration was detected by ELISA. The results indicated that the repliea.tion of RDVin transgenic plants was obviously inhibited.
