Nanostructured Pd-based electrocatalysts have a large impact on cost, performance, and durability in the development of fuel cells. This review article provides an overview of recent advances in Pd-based electrocatalysts with a well-defined structure that can be applied for alcohol oxidation and oxygen reduction in an alkaline medium in direct alcohol fuel cells. These Pd-based catalytic materials include Pd electrocatalysts with different morphologies, monodisperse bimetallic Pd-based nanoparticles with different compositions and Pd-based nanoparticles with a well-controlled shape. Emphasis is placed on the atomic-level design of the nanoparticles' structure, and the origin of their electrochemical activity. The ways to enhance the electrocatalytic performance and design principles for Pd-based catalysts are discussed. This will help to shed light on the future development of non-Pt catalysts for fuel cells and accelerate the commercialization of fuel cell technology.
Recombinant monogene and double gene expression vectors pIG-neo, pIN-neo, pVG, pVN, pIGN and pVGN were constructed by inserting the G and N gene into pIRES1neo and pVAX1, respectively. Span-glycerol was chosen as adjuvant and mixed with the plasmids to form DNA vaccine. Nine groups of mice were immunized with a dosage of 100 #mu#L(0.5g/L) of plasmids pIRES1neo, pIG-neo, pIN-neo, pIGN, pIG+pIN, pVAX1, pVG, pVN and pVGN, respectively, for 3 times at 14 days intervals. Indirect ELISA and neutralization were employed to determine the immunological response. Results showed that: (1) After 3 times of immunization, seroconversion occurred in all groups excepting negative controls. (2)Antibody level went up swiftly 14 days after the third injection of DNA vaccine. (3)The immunological effect of DNA vaccines based on the pIRES1neo was overally better than those based on the pVAX1. Of all the vaccines, the double gene expression vector pIGN haboring both the glycoprotein and the nucleoprotein cDNAs was the best. The antibody level it stimulated was significantly higher than the others. (4)The protective rate against the challenge of 7.5 LD_(50) CVS was 89%. It indicated that it was worthy being assayed in dogs.

Musca domestica yolk protein (mdyp) genes encode the major nutritional polypeptides deposited in developing oocytes for subsequent utilization during embryogenesis. About a 4 0 kb genomic gene encoding Musca domestica yolk protein 1(mdyp1) was cloned by screening Musca domestica genomic library constructed in EMBL3 vector with a mdyp1 DNA fragment obtained by PCR as probe labeling with Digoxigen. Sequence analysis revealed that it contained about 1 6 kb 5′ upstream region and about1 0 kb 3′ downstream region. Encoding region was composed of a 61 bp intron, a 222 bp exon 1 and a 1028 bp exon 2. 5′ upstream region possesses typical CAAT/TATA boxes.
The canine adenovirus-2(CAV-2) is associated with upper respiratory infection and intestinal syndroms.Adenovirus fiber protein(Fip) plays a crucial role in infection by attaching the virus to a specific cell-surface receptor.I n order to further explain the mechanism of difference in cell tropism and virul ence at molecular level,we designed 2 pairs of primers according to the publishe d CAV-2 Fip gene to amplify the Fip genes with PCR method.The Fip genes of the CAV-2 virulent strain SY-V5,attenuated SY-V60,SY-CP5(derived from SY-V60 pa ssed in susceptible dogs for 5 passages) and USA vaccine strain(US-V20) had bee n sequenced and compared with one another and with that of the standard CAV-2 T oronto virulent strain.Complete Fip gene of all CAV-2 strains were 1 629 nt and 542 amino acids.The deduced amino acid sequences of the Fip of the CAV-2 s trains were compared one another and with that of Toronto strain.Comparing with SY-V5 and Toronto strains,there are point mutation(transversion) occurring in S Y-V60 and SY-CP5 which changes the potential site for asparagine-linked glyco sylation.

S10 gene sequences of 1 attenuated vaccine strain and 31 Chinese field isolates & 1 South Africa strain of BTV were determined. The results revealed that all 33 S10 gene segments have 822 nucleotides in length with two in-frame initiation codons (nucleotides 20 to 22 and 59 to 61) and a common termination codon (nucleotides 707 to 709), which encodes two proteins (NS3 and NS3A). Nucleotide difference in the sequence of all S10 gene were from zero to 107 bp (86.4% - 100% identity). NS3/NS3A protein showed a light difference from zero to 10 amino acid (95.6% - 100% identity). Phylogenetic analysis of the S10 gene of above strains sequenced and 9 other strains from GenBank, segregated the Chinese viruses into a monophyletic group distinct from US viruses; Nucleotide identity was 85% between China Group and US group. The various Chinese isolates segregated into two phyletic subgroups based on S10 gene sequences. The clustering of viruses was dependent of geographical origin, and independent of host species of isolation, serotype & year of isolation.
The present study examined if injection of DNA into the testis tabular could generate transgenic mice via transfecting spermatogonia. The 0.9 kb Bcl-2 cDNA was fused to the promoter region of mouse whey acid protein gene and the SV40 polyA. A 3.0 kb fragment of WAP-Bcl-2-SV40 was mixed with cationic liposome and one side tabular of 3 mice testis was injected with the fragment, the other side was ligatured. Two out of the 3 males were used to mate with the female 4 days later. Twenty pups were produced and 3 of which were proven to be gene integration positive by PCR detection. Two, 1 male and 1 female, were further confirmed to carry the transgene by Southern blot analysis. The male died by accident during its feeding. The female was demonstrated to express Bcl-2 protein in its mammary glands by Western blot assay. Seven out of 45 F1 mice were proven to be transgenic by PCR. It is concluded that transfecting spermatogonia in vivo can produce transgenic mice.
CRFK cell line cultures of CCV YS1 and CCV CI1 strains isolated from dogs in China were inoculated to dogs which CCV SN titers were lower than 1∶4 at the age of 2 months.Clinical symptoms,body temperature and pathogenic changes were observed.Results shows that the virulence of CCV YS1 strain is stronger than that of CCV CI1.S gene of 2 strains were amplified by RT-PCR,cloned into Sma I point of pUC19 or pGEM-T vector and sequenced with the method of the Sanger's.Amino acid sequences were deduced and compared with that of CCV,FIPV,TGEV.According to the results of the comparison,amino acid of antigenic sites were analyzed and suggested that the amino acid of Ac antigenic site in the S protein may play an important role on the virulence of CCV.
