The present study was designed to examine the morphological pattern of primary afferent projections into the spinal dorsal horn by labeling the lumbar dorsal root ganglia with carbocyanine fluorescent dye DiI in mouse embryos and neonatal pups aged embryonic day 12 to postnatal day 3 (E12-P3). Primary afferent fibers projected into dorsal funiculus at E13, but did not penetrated into gray matter of dorsal horn until E15. The afferent projections became dense and entered the spinal gray matter more deeply at E16 and E17. By E18 the intensity of primary afferent in the deep part of the dorsal horn increased and their branching patterns became more complicated. Some of these primary fibers were also observed to ramify extensively in the superficial laminae. The projection pattern of primary afferent remained unchanged after birth, but the intensity of afferent terminals increased in the superficial laminae. In addition, afferent fiber collaterals that projected into the contralateral dorsal horn were also observed. They were first examined at E16 and mainly originated from the medial and deep part of the dorsal horn. Around birth, the contralateral projections were also found to originate from the lateral part of dorsal horn. Our results indicate that laminar organization of primary afferents in the spinal dorsal horn is established during the late embryonic and early postnatal stages.This organization then undergoes further refinement to match the pattern seen in the adult.

Objective:To clone Fab genes of anti-p185 monoclonal antibody 5E12 and express it in E.coli.Methods:Fd and ? genes were cloned by RT-PCR, inserted into Fab expression vector and expressed in E.coli. The N-terminal sequences of V regions was resumed by PCR mediated mutagenesis. The antigen-binding activity of the Fab were tested by ELISA and immunohistochemistry.Results:Fd and ? genes were cloned and expressed in E.coli. But the bacterially expressed Fab fragments showed no antigen binding activity. After the N-terminal sequences of V regions was corrected to original sequences, the Fab expressed in bacterial was able to target HER2/neu-expressing cells(NIH3T3/erbB-2 cells). Correction of Fd N-terminal sequences could partially resume the antigen binding activity. But correction of ? chain N terminal sequences was shown no expected result.Conclusion:Successful in constructing and expressing anti-p185 Fab, which will benefit the construction of other engineering antibody and humanization of murine anti-p185 McAb. We also found that the V region N terminal changes introduced with PCR primers may affect antigen binding activity seriously, to which more attention should be paid during antibody engineering.

Objective To investigate the synaptic connections between endomorphin-immunoreactive(ir) terminals and ? opioid receptor-ir neurons in the superficial layers(laminae Ⅰ and Ⅱ) of the rat spinal dorsal horn. Methods The double-labeling immunohistochemical electron microscopic technique,i.e.pre-embedding immunohistochemical detection of endomorphin combin with pre-embedding immuno-gold particles labeling technique to identify ? opioid receptor-immunoreactivity,was used in the present study. Results ? opioid receptor-ir neuronal cell bodies,fibers as well as axon terminals were observed in laminae Ⅰ and Ⅱ of the spinal dorsal horn,meanwhile dense endomorphin-ir axon terminals were located mainly within the same region.Under electron microscope,the synaptic connections formed by endomorphin-ir axon terminals labeled with diaminobenzidine(DAB) reaction products and ? opioid receptor-ir neuronal cell bodies and dendritic profiles labeled with immuno-gold particles were observed.The principle synaptic type was asymmetric synapse.There were more axon-dendritic synapses than axon-somatic ones as encountered in the present study.Conclusion The distribution patterns of endomorphin-ir and ? opioid receptor-ir structures match with each other in the superficial laminae of the spinal dorsal horn,that provides morphological base for the antinociceptive effects of endomorphin and ? opioid receptor in the processing of nociceptive information transmission.
