This study aimed at developing a novel technique of isolating the Oct-4 expressing cells from the sheep amniotic fluid and fetal renal tissues, respectively, and comparatively analyzing the difference in the molecular characteristic of these two differently derived cells with Real-time PCR. The results showed that the cells from the sheep amniotic fluid and fetal renal tissue were both positive for Oct-4, embryonic germ cells gene SSEA-1, the main organization compatibility antigen gene MHC-Ⅱ, apoptosis gene Bax, and inhibition gene of apoptosis Bcl-2, negative for the symbol marker of MHC-Ⅰ, Nanog and TERT, but there were marked differences in the relative expression levels of Oct-4, Bax and Bcl-2 genes. Furthermore, AFSC and RTSC were both capable of forming embryoid bodies through the suspension culture in vitro. In conclusion, our study successfully established a new procedure of isolating and culturing Oct-4 expressing cells derived from the sheep amniotic fluid and fetal renal tissues, which might have the same origin.

To detect porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) accurately and sensitively, two pairs of specific primers amplifying M gene were designed and the nested RT-PCR method was established. The lowest detective value of the nested RT-PCR as proved by the sensitivity test was 50 fg of PEDV RNA template, however,that of the conventional RT-PCR was 50 pg. The nested RT-PCR primers designed in the study could not be used to amplify the PRRSV, CSFV, TGEV and GARV RNA templates in the specificity test. The results showed that the nested RT-PCR was a rapid, sensitive and cost-effective method for detecting trace amounts of PEDV nucleic acid.

In order to compare the sensitivity to classical swine fever virus E2 protein targeting dendritic cell vaccine between rabbits and BALB/c mice, we firstly inoculated rabbits and BALB/c mice with glycosylated E2 protein and E2 protein (2 mg in rabbits and 20 μg in mice) according to the body weight percentage of rabbits and BALB/c mice. The IgG levels in the serum were determined by ELISA method in different time. The results showed that the BALB/c mice generated mild immune response only, and the rabbits had a strong and lasting immune protection. Secondly, the research on inoculation ammount in BALB/c mice were explored further. The results indicated that the immune effects were obviously better after inoculation with 100 or 50 μg than that of 20 μg inoculation amount. The IgG level in serum was high and stable after the BALB/c mice inoculated with 50 μg glycosylated E2 protein. However, the mice emerged immune suppression in initial stage after inoculation with 100 μg glycosylated E2 protein, and the IgG level increased to high level on 21 d. Surprisingly, the IgG level was low and only slightly fluctuated after the mice inoculated with 100 μg E2 protein. The above results proved that the sensitivity of rabbits was significantly higher than that of BALB/c mice to the glycosyated E2 protein and E2 protein. Furthermore, the immune effect of glycosylated E2 protein was better than that of E2 protein, and the best inoculation dose was 50 μg in BALB/c mice.

Cell apoptosis is an autonomic ordered programmed cell death in order to maintain homeostasis, which is controlled by multiple genes. Cell apoptosis plays a key role in the tissue differentiation, organ development and individual homeostasis in multicellular organisms. Cell apoptosis can promote the cells death which are infected or injuried,and remove them out of the body; clinically cell apoptosis and many diseases are directly related. The proteins of Bcl-2 family that involved in cell apoptosis are important regulatory molecules, can both suppress and promote cell apoptosis. So the members of Bcl-2 protein family and its structure feature, the relationship between Bcl-2 protein family and cell apoptosis, and its biological significance are mainly discussed.

This study was planned to investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance of pathogens involve in cow endometritis,which will be helpful to guide clinical rational drug use.All 47 cow endometritis samples collected from three large-scale farms located in Lanzhou were used to isolate and identify pathogens. Besides,K-B paper disk method was performed to measure the antibiotic resistance of the four isolates. The results demonstrated that Arcanobacterium pyogenes (37.1%),Escherichia coli (24.2%),Enterococcus faecium (22.6%) and Streptococcus agalactiae (16.1%) were the predominent agent causing cow endometritis in Lanzhou.In addition,the four pathogens were resistant to penicillin,sulfamethoxazole compound,ofoxacin and bacitracin,and the drug resistance rates reached 60% to 100%. However,These pathogens were sensitive to ceftazidime,cephalothin V and florfenicol,and the antibiotic sensitive rates were 100%.
