Optimal conditions for expressing a specific region of core protein of phosphacan, a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan known as receptor type protein tyrosine phosphatase, as fusion protein with glutathione S-transferase (GST) in E.coli were examined. DNA fragments inserted into the expression vector (pGEX-4T-1) were amplified by RT-PCR using mRNA purified from E18 rat brain as template. Primers attached with BamH I or EcoR I restriction site on 5' end were used to amplify first strand cDNA by PCR. Before ligation into the pGEX-4T-1 for GST fusion protein, PCR products were once cloned using T-A cloning system because they were not directly ligated into the pGEX-4T-1. E.coli strain BL21 was transformed by pGEX-4T-1 ligated with restriction DNA fragment cut out from pCR II plasmid vector of T-A clonig system. The growth of transformed BL21 was not different between the colony incubated at 37â for 24-48h and the colony stored at 4â for 7-10 days after 24h incubation at 37â. The desirable OD(550) of culture medium for inducing the expression of fusion protein by isopropylthio-β-D-galactoside (IPTG) was from 0.6 to 1.0, because expression of native E.coli proteins per ml of culture medium was increased relatively when IPTG was added at OD(550) more than 1.0. The expression of fusion protein reached plateau around 6h after the induction. Relative expression of native E.coli proteins per ml of culture medium increased thereafter. Therefore, it may be desirable to purify the fusion protein around 6h after the induction.ã³ã³ããã€ãã³ç¡«é

Specific regions of core protein of phosphacan, one of the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, were expressed as fusion proteins with histidine-tag (His-tag) in Escherichia coli (E.coli) and were affinity purified using nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) matrix. cDNA fragments encoding amino acid residues 343-446 (P3) and 1-340 (P4) of phosphacan core protein were amplified by polymerase chain reaction from E18 rat brain mRNA as template. The amplified products were subcloned into pQE30
vector and were introduced into E.coli strain M15 [pREP4] for the expression. The His-tagged fusion proteins were expressed by cultivating the transformants at 37â for 5h in the presence of 1mM IPTG. His-tagged P3 fusion protein (His-P3) was expressed as soluble form, and was purified
using Ni-NTA matrix. His-tagged P4 fusion protein (His-P4) which was sequestered into insoluble inclusion bodies was treated with 8.0M urea to solubilize, and then was purified under denaturing conditions.ã³ã³ããã€ãã³ç¡«é

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides with low molecular weight. They have been known to bind to some serum lipoproteins and to form complexes. To elucidate whether each serum lipoprotein subclass could be separated by electrophoresis using CDs, we performed preliminary experiment, in which lipoprotein-CDs interaction was examined on electrophoresis with agarose gel. When the supporting agarose gel containing both α-CD and β-CD was prepared and was applied to isoelectric focusing for fractionating serum lipoproteins, apoB lipoproteins were found to be clearly separated into several fractions on this electrophoresis. This finding suggested that apoB lipoprotein may be detected as isolated form by arranging amounts of added CDs.ã·ã¯ãããã¹ããªã³ã¯äœååéã®ç°ç¶ãªãªãŽç³ã§, ãªãã¿ã³ãã¯è³ªãšè€åäœã圢æããã·ã¯ãããã¹ããªã³ã䜿çšããé»æ°æ³³åã«ããè¡æž

The quantity and percentage of slow wave sleep were consistent with those of visual inspection when the minimum delta amplitude was adjusted at ± 25ïœ31ÎŒV from the baseline. The gain amplitude of mandibular electromyogram dramatically affected recognition of REM stage by the computer. Percentage of REM sleep was almost same as that of visual inspection when the gain potentiometer was adjusted to read 50ÎŒV peak-to-peak calibration signal as 1.0V, while REM stage was not recognized whenãthe gain potentiometer was adjusted to 1.5V. In contrast, the gain amplitude of electropthalmogramãdid not affect the recognition of REM stage

PLA2R-positive membranous nephropathy in IgG4-related disease
Abstract Background IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibroinflammatory disease that affects multiple organs, including the pancreas, lacrimal glands, salivary glands, periaortic/retroperitoneum, and kidney. Interstitial nephritis is a typical renal disorder associated with IgG4-RD, but membranous nephropathy is also seen in some cases. Case presentation Herein we report on the case of a 77-year-old male patient with nephrotic syndrome and IgG4-related lung disease. His serum phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody was positive. His renal biopsy specimen was also positive for PLA2R. The renal biopsy specimen showed membranous nephropathy with equal IgG3 and IgG4 immunofluorescence staining and no interstitial nephritis, suggesting IgG4-RD manifesting as membranous nephropathy. Conclusions Nephrotic syndrome caused by membranous nephropathy is sometimes associated with IgG4-RD. In such cases, even if serum PLA2R antibody is positive, it should be considered that the membranous nephropathy may be secondary to IgG4-RD
