Carbohydrate chip,a wonderful tool for studying the carbohydrate-protein interactions,is developing very fast in recent years and shows a bright future. The methods of fabrication of carbohydrate multi-arrays are systematically introduced,factors that influence the obtained chip's quality are analyzed in detail,and the general requirement of plate materials and immobilization methods for design of carbohydrate chip are discussed.

ABSTRACT:The guinea pigs were immunized by the Brucella vaccine through intradermal injections and the skin scratch respectively ,and then the immune effects of the two ways were evaluated .Serum samples were collected one month after the last injection and detected for the total IgG titer by interval ELISA .Cell‐mediated immune was evaluated by late‐onset hyper‐sensitivity .The guinea pigs were challenged with Brucella melitensis M5 ,and then were killed to isolated M5 from spleen of each guinea pig to compare the protective effects of two methods of immunization .The ELISA results showed that both of the two methods of immunization could induce strong humoral immune response ,and DTH response to Br‐PPD antigen were 100%in both methods .No significant difference in the immune protective effect of two methods was detected .Results of humoral im‐munity ,cellular immunity and protective effect showed the same effect by intradermal injections and skin scratches .

We have evaluated the plague epidemic situation in the Three Rivers Source Region,Qinghai Province in recent 20 years to provide the basis for revising the plague prevention countermeasures.We have analyzed the time distribution and the plague epidemic situation between animals and human beings during twenty years in the Three Rivers Source Region,Qinghai Province by describing epidemiology.The animal plague in the natural source of Marmot plague was extremely serious in the Three Rivers Source Region during the past 20 years.It mainly distributes in Yushu State and Tanggula County,Germu City and the serious season ran through the whole period of marmot camp ground activities and the peak was between June and August.Human plague epidemic took place between May and October each year and reached its peak between July and September.The peak covered about 41.67％ at most.It mainly endemic distributes in Nangqian and Xinghai Country.During the past 20 years,we have totally found 14 human plague epidemics in the Three Rivers Source Region,among which 48 cases took place and there were deaths of 17 cases.The fatality rate was 35.42％.The lung type was the majority among 48 cases,which startde with the glandular type.During the past 20 years the plague epidemic has been active and the animal plague epidemic broke out continuously in the Three Rivers Source Region,Qinghai Province.The variety of animals and insects infected the plague epidemic was increasing.The human plague epidemics is most serious with high fatality rate,but it is on the decline as a whole.
