- Surface-enhanced Raman scattering of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on silver films deposited on various substrates, including sapphire, quartz and glass, has been studied systematically. The characteristic features of G-band and D-band have been analyzed and compared with arc discharged and laser ablation samples. D-band is much more sensitive than G-band. The position and the intensity of the G-band in SERS spectra depend on substrates. The peak shift and absolute intensity of G-band on sapphire is obviously larger than that on glass. The contribution of high frequency vibrations to the D-band is also deendent on substrates. Compared to the SWNTs samples with a high semiconducting tube concentration, the sample with high metallic tube concentration has a stronger interaction with silver films.

- This study was aimed at studying the effect of the induction of immune tolerance to swine cardiac myosin from anti-L3T4 monoclonal antibody injection and whether the immune tolerance could protect mice with myosin-induced myocarditis from myocardial injury. Twenty-four Balb/c mice were divided into two groups at random. All of the mice were immunized with swine cardiac myosin on the 1st day, 14th, 28th, 42nd, and 52nd day. Immune tolerance was induced by triplicate injections of 400 microg anti-L3T4 McAb on the 0 day (intravenous), 1st day, and 2nd day (intraperitoneal) in McAb-treated group. In the saline-treated group, saline of the same volume as anti-L3T4 monoclonal antibody was used as a control. The sera and hearts biopsies of all mice were collected on the 58th day. The anti-cardiac myosin antibody was examined with ELISA, and pathological changes of heart were observed by light microscope. It was shown that mice immunized with swine cardiac myosin could produce anti-myosin antibody and the anti-cardiac myosin antibody was positive in most of the saline-treated group but negative in the McAb-treated group. Morphologically, myocardial degeneration, necrosis, and infiltration of inflammatory cells were found in the saline-treated group but not in the McAb-treated group. In conclusion, this study indicated that the immune tolerance to cardiac myosin was induced by the anti-L3T4 monoclonal antibody, and accordingly myocardial injury could be prevented by induction of immune tolerance.

- Aim:To evaluate the effects of animal milk containing fucosylated antigens on Helicobacter pylori (H pylon) binding to Lewis b antigen. Methods:A mammary gland expression vector containing human α1-3/4-fucosyltransferase cDNA sequences was constructed. Transient expression of human(α1-3/4-fucosyltransferase cDNA in goat mammary cell and establishment of transgenic mice were performed. The adhesion inhibitory properties of milk samples were analyzed by using Hpylori. Results: Goat milk samples were found to inhibit bacterial binding to Lewis b antigen. The highest inhibition was observed 42 h after injection of the plasmid. The binding activity of Hpylori to Lewis b antigen reduced mostly, by 83%, however milk samples from transgenic mice did not inhibit Hpylori binding to Lewis b antigen. Conclusion: The use of “humanized“ animal milk produced by the transgenic introduction of fucosylated antigen can perhaps provide an alternative therapy and preventive measure for Hpylori infection.
