The time for formation of platform period as well as the cell density and cell viability in the period of MDCK-siat7 e cells at various initial inoculum densities(4. 0 × 10~5, 8. 0 × 10~5 and 1. 6 × 10~6 cells/ml) were compared. The specific growth rate(μ), times of division(Cd), specific consumption rate of glucose(q_(gluc))and transformation rate of lactic acid to glucose(Y_(lac/gluc))of MDCK-siat7 e cells in various volumes of bioreactor(3, 15 and 60 L)were compared, and the growth and metabolism of the cells were observed. Results The mean viability of MDCK-siat7 e cells cultured in BD001 medium was(96. 20 ± 2. 95) % after resuscitation. The cells after resuscitation grew well in BD001 medium and reached the logarithmic phase after an incubation period of 24 h, which reached the platform period on day 6, reached the maximum cell density of 6. 20 × 10~6cells/ml on day 8 and was maintained to day 12. The cell density and viability began to decrease from day 12 and entered to decay period. MDCK-siat7 e cells grew well in serum-free medium. The time for formation of platform period of cells at various initial inoculum densities showed significant difference(P < 0. 05), while the density and viability of cells in platform period showed no significant difference(P > 0. 05). There were no significant differences in the μ, Cd, q_(gluc)and Y_(lac/gluc)of MDCK-siat7 e cells in various volumes of bioreactor(P > 0. 05), and the cells grew well. Conclusion A procedure for serum-free suspension culture of MDCK-siat7 e cells in bioreactor was developed,which provided an experimental basis for culture of MDCK-siat7 e cells in serum-and protein-free medium BD001 from non-animal origin in bioreactor.

  • Progress in research on novel tuberculosis vaccine

    MU Shan-shan;SUN Shu-xue;Department of Purification, Beijing Chengda Tehe Bio-technology Co., Ltd.;

    Tuberculosis(TB)is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. At present,Bacillus Calmette-Guérin(BCG) is the most widely used vaccine against TB, though its immune protection is less ideal.Along with the increases of multi-drug and extensive-drug resistant strains and increasing seriousness of problems such as co-infection of HIV, it is imperative to develop novel TB vaccines. Considerable progress in some novel TB vaccines which mainly include protein adjuvant booster vaccines, viral-vectored booster vaccines, priming vaccines and therapeutic vaccines have been achieved in decades. Therein, booster vaccines targeting adolescents and adults have attracted significant attention because of their significant effects on epidemic of tuberculosis worldwide. This review outlines the progress in research on novel TB vaccines in recent years.

  • Advances in research on candidate antigens of Mycoplasma pneumoniae vaccine

    LI Shuang-li;ZHU Wen-yong;LIAO Guo-yang;Institute of Medical Biology, Chinese Academy of Medical Science & Peking Union Medical College, Yunnan Key Laboratory of Vaccine Research & Development on Severe Infection Disease;

    Mycoplasma pneumonia(MP) is the main pathogen of community-acquired pneumonia, which may cause respiratory infection in humans, resulting in anaphylactic asthma in partial population. MP may also aggravate lung diseases and cause some complications. At present, MP infection is mainly treated with macrolide antibiotics. However,with the wide application of antibiotics, the epidemic of macrolide-resistant MP(MRMP) appeared, with a resistance rate of 90%, to which no protocol of therapy has been developed. For this reason, MP vaccine is very important to prevent and control MP infection. In this paper, the research on whole cell antigen, protein antigen and glycolipid antigen in candidate MP vaccine antigen are summarized.

  • Advances in research on role of UbcH7 in cancer therapy

    HE Rong;LV Lin-yue;CHENG An-yi;ZHANG Lei;Institute of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hubei Provincial Cooperative Innovation Center, College of Bioengineering, Hubei University of Technology;

    As a member of ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 family, ubiquitin conjugating enzyme L3(UbcH7)contributes the ubiquitination modification of substrate proteins in combination with E3 ubiquitin ligase. Recently,emerging results showed that UbcH7-dependent ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation are involved in the regulation of p53 binding protein(53BP1). Normal degradation of 53BP1 protein drives cancer cells to repair doublestrand breaks(DSBs) with homologous recombination(HR). When UbcH7 is suppressed, nonhomologous end-jointing(NHEJ)is used because of the enhanced 53BP1 retention. Decreased UbcH7 level leads to an increased sensitivity to anticancer therapies and cells death caused by impropriate genes arrangement. Functional significance of UbcH7 in the process of DNA damage response suggests it may be used as a potential target for cancer therapy.
