Abstract
Since sialic acid content is known to be a critical determinant of the biological properties of glycoproteins, it is essential to characterize and monitor sialylation patterns of recombinant glycoproteins intended for therapeutic use. This study reports site- and branch-specific differences in sialylation of human interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) derived from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture. Sialylation profiles were quantitated by reversed-phase HPLC separations of the site-specific pools of tryptic glycopeptides representing IFN-gamma's two potential N-linked glycosylation sites (i.e., Asn(25) and Asn(97)). Although sialylation at each glycosylation site was found to be incomplete, glycans of Asn(25) were more heavily sialylated than those of Asn(97). Furthermore, Man(alpha1-3) arms of the predominant complex biantennary structures were more favorably sialylated than Man(alpha1-6) branches at each glycosylation site. When the sialylation profile was analyzed throughout a suspension batch culture, sialic acid content at each site and branch was found to be relatively constant until a steady decrease in sialylation was observed coincident with loss of cell viability. The introduction of a competitive inhibitor of sialidase into the culture supernatant prevented the loss of sialic acid after the onset of cell death but did not affect sialylation prior to cell death. This finding indicated that incomplete sialylation prior to loss of cell viability could be attributed to incomplete intracellular sialylation while the reduction in sialylation following loss of cell viability was due to extracellular sialidase activity resulting from cell lysis. Thus, both intracellular and extracellular processes defined the sialic acid content of the final product. (c) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 55: 390-398, 1977.

Abstract
Although serum-free media have been widely used in mammalian cell culture for therapeutic protein production, the effects of serum-substitutes on product quality have not been extensively examined. This study observed an adverse effect of Primatone RL, an animal tissue hydrolysate commonly used as a serum-substitute to promote cell growth, on sialylation of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) derived from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture in both batch and fed-batch modes. In batch cultures, decreased sialylation was observed at each of the glycosylation sites (i.e., Asn(25) and Asn(97)) of IFN-gamma with the use of elevated concentrations of the peptone. Although poorest sialylation was obtained with the use of a growth-inhibiting concentration of Primatone RL, diminished sialylation was observed at the optimal peptone concentration for cell growth and product yield. Since incubation of the product in Primatone RL-supplemented acellular medium did not result in decreased sialylation, the negative effect of Primatone RL could not be attributed to extracellular desialylation of IFN-gamma by components of the peptone. In the fed-batch mode, a culture utilizing a serum-free feeding medium supplemented with Primatone RL demonstrated poorer sialylation than a similar culture not fed the peptone. The results of both the batch and fed-batch experiments indicate that the adverse effect of the peptone was not due solely to ammonia accumulation. (c) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The expression and role of Duffy antigen receptor for chemokine (DARC), D6 and ChemoCentryx chemokine receptor (CCX-CKR) in breast cancer have already been studied independently in the past several years. However, the relationship and importance of these atypical chemokine binders (ACB) are still unclear. In this large scale clinical study, we invastigated the characteristics of multiple ACB simultaneously. Material and Methods: The protein levels of DARC, D6 and CCX-CKR were analyzed by immunohistochemistry in 517 patients with invasive breast cancer, 29 patients with noninvasive breast cancer. All of these cases come from the Cancer Hospital of Fudan University during 2001-2006, with complete clinicopathological data and follow-up data, including survival information. Results: In the invasive breast cancer patients, triple, double and single positive expression of these ACB were 135 cases (26.1%), 154 cases (29.8%) and 121 cases (23.4%), respectively. On the other hand, 107 cases (20.7%) were complete negative. The triple positive staining was significantly conversely correlated with lymph node metastasis, disease stage, relapse-free survival (RFS) as well as overall survival (OS). DARC, D6, and CCX-CKR were independent factors that influenced lymph node metastasis and their coexpression was favorable prognostic factor for RFS and OS. Discussion: Our results confirmed that DARC, D6, and CCX-CKR play a negative role in breast cancer. Furthermore, their triple or double high coexpression is more favorable for the patients, suggesting that multiple ACB may provide better protection against metastasis and relapse by synergistically regulating chemokine network in breast cancer.

Abstract
The antisense fragments, which were available in in vitro system, were cloned into the mammalian expression vector pcDNA3, and were transfected into H654 cells, a mammalian cell line stably expressing the thalassaemic (IVS-2-654 C-->T) human beta-globin gene. In these transfected cells, the level of correctly spliced beta-globin mRNA in total beta-globin mRNA (beta/(beta + beta*)) was improved from 0.07 (0 d) to 0.22 (3 d), and this effect persisted for up to 15 d post transfection. All the results demonstrated that antisense RNAs were able to be transcribed from the antisense fragment expression vectors stably and effectively suppressed aberrant splicing pattern of the mutated beta-globin gene (IVS-2-654 C-->T) and restored correct splicing pathway. This work provided a novel approach with potential clinical significance to gene therapy of this kind of splicing mutants including beta-thalassaemia (IVS-2-654 C-->T) by antisense RNAs.

Abstract
A group of 20 cows and heifers experienced poor conception rates and probable ovarian dysfunction after being artificially inseminated. When first examined, some showed signs of vulvovaginitis, with pustular, ulcerative lesions consistent with a herpesvirus infection. They had had no contact with bulls during the current breeding season. Bovine herpesvirus type 5 (BHV-5) was isolated from samples of frozen semen from the batch that had been used for the artificial insemination programme. BHV-5 was also isolated from the semen of a second apparently healthy bull during routine screening of its semen.

Abstract
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, neurological disease characterized by targeted destruction of central nervous system (CNS) myelin. The autoimmune theory is the most widely accepted explanation of disease pathology. Circulating Th1 cells become activated by exposure to CNS-specific antigens such as myelin basic protein. The activated Th1 cells secrete inflammatory cytokines, which are pivotal for inflammatory responses. We hypothesize that enhanced production of inflammatory cytokines triggers cellular events within the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and/or spinal cord, facilitating the development of neuropathic pain (NPP) in MS. NPP, the second worst disease-induced symptom suffered by patients with MS, is normally regulated by DRG and/or spinal cord. Objective: To determine gene and protein expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) within DRG and/or spinal cord in an animal model of MS. Methods: Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was induced in adolescent female Lewis rats. Animals were sacrificed every 3 days post-disease induction. DRG and spinal cords were harvested for protein and gene expression analysis. Results: We show significant increases in TNFα expression in the DRG and of EAE animals at peak disease stage, as assessed by clinical symptoms. Conclusion: Antigen-induced production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNFα within the DRG identifies a potential novel mechanism for MS-induced NPP.
