简介:AbstractSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused many deaths and contributed to a tremendous public health concern worldwide since 2020. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) binds to the SARS-CoV-2 virus as a receptor. The challenge of different nonhuman primate (NHP) species by SARS-CoV-2 virus demonstrated different effects on virus replication and disease pathology. This study characterizes differences between host ACE2 sequences of three NHP species: Macaca mulatta, Macaca fascicularis, and Chlorocebus sabaeus. In addition, the binding affinity between the ACE2 ectodomain and the SARS-CoV-2 S receptor-binding domain (RBD) was analyzed. Variation of ACE2 sequence among NHP species and the binding affinity may account for different susceptibility and responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

简介:目的建立以分子生物学技术为基础的华支睾吸虫与扇棘单睾吸虫的ITS-2序列分析鉴别方法。方法在华支睾吸虫流行区采集华支睾吸虫和扇棘单睾吸虫成虫,从成虫虫体分离并收集虫卵。以蛔虫、鞭虫、钩虫、蛲虫做对照虫种,按不同虫种和虫卵数分成5个实验组,各组分别提取DNA,并扩增ITS-2序列,对扩增产物进行测序并作同源性分析以确保为目标片段,根据PCR扩增产物电泳获得的条带判定虫种。结果以华支睾吸虫和扇棘单睾吸虫虫卵DNA为模板的PCR产物电泳图谱分别在400bp、500bp左右各显示一条明显条带;在以两种虫卵DNA混合液为模板的PCR产物中,电泳图谱在400bp左右和500bp左右各显示明显条带。将测序得到的两种核苷酸序列进行Blast比对后,显示与GenBank中相应的华支睾吸虫和扇棘单睾吸虫序列高度同源。混入四种肠道线虫虫卵DNA的PCR产物中,除目的条带外,无其他条带。结论该方法可以对华支睾吸虫及扇棘单睾吸虫虫卵进行鉴别,且结果不受常见四种肠道线虫虫卵干扰,敏感性和特异性较高,可作为两虫种的鉴别检测方法。
