Dendritic cells are the most powerful cells to induce T cell immune reaction. DC derived from leukemia also possess the ability of the antigen processing and presentation. DC pulsed with tumor antigen can effectively initiate T cell immune reaction and induce T cell to cytotoxic T lymphocytes in vitro and in vivo. In this text, we introduce the advanced development of the biological character of DC, tumor immunology, the mechanism of tumor cell escaping immune surveillance and DC in leukemia immunotherapy.

To establish the evaluation system for Guinea pig skin infection model of Trichophyton rubrum, and to evaluate different modeling methods and select the best skin infection animal model of Trichophyton rubrum. Methods The evaluation index was determined by literature research and expert consultation , weight of each index was calculated by Delphi Method and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), to establish a comprehensive evaluation system for Guinea pig skin infection model of Trichophyton rubrum. Furthermore, various skin infection animal models of Trichophyton rubrum were evaluated by this system and the ideal animal model was selected. Results The evaluation system proved to be available. The animal model with immunosuppressive treatment and repeated inoculation with Trichophyton rubrum had better quality and higher success rate. Conclusions The evaluation system established by AHP is clear, simple and convenient; the optimized skin infection animal model of Trichophyton rubrum is suitable for the efficacy evaluation of antifungal infection drugs.

BACKGROUND:Calcium phosphate has the similar mineral component of natural bones with good bioactivity, osteoconductivity and degradability. It has been widely used in bone defect repair and coatings of implants. OBJECTIVE:To review the major properties of different-phase calcium phosphate and to summarize the application of calcium phosphate in scaffolds for osteochondral tissue engineering. METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed, CNKI and VIP database was performed for relevant articles published from January 2000 to February 2015 with the key words of “osteochondral; calcium phosphate (including hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, calcium polyphosphate); tissue engineering” in Chinese and English, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Since the calcium phosphate has a variety of phases and crystaline types, a variety of materials with different structure and size can be obtained using different techniques, such as hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, calcium polyphosphate, amorphous calcium phosphate. These materials have some differences in their biological and mechanical properties, and hydroxyapatite is the most widely used. Biocomposite scaffolds with calcium phosphates appeared to have promising potential in osteochondral tissue engineering.

Objective To recognize and identify the arginase(ARG)gene of Schistosoma japonicum(Sj),and to study its protection potential as a vaccine.Methods The 5'-end of the ARG gene from the Sj cercariae cDNA library was amplified by nested-PCR and the sequence was identified by bioinformatics.The complete coding sequence(CDS)was cloned into pET30a(+)vector,and a recombinant SjARG protein(rSjARG)was expressed,purified and used to raise antibodies.ARG's activity as an enzyme was tested by ornithine-ninhydrin reaction.Western blotting was used to compare the immunologic characteristics of rSjARG with that of the native one in Sj adult worm.Indirect immunofluorescence assay was used to immunolocalize it.For evaluating the protection potential of rSjARG,mice were immunized by the recombinant protein and challenged by cercariae of S.japonicum.Results The CDS length of the SjARG novel gene was identified as 1095bp.rSjARG showed enzyme activity and the same immunologic characteristics with the native arginase in adult worm.SjARG located in the genital organ and gut of both sexes.The worm reduction rate and egg reduction rate in rSjARG group were 55.8% and 48.8% respectively,higher than that of the rSj26GST group(28.6% and 6.89% respectively).Conclusion SjARG gene was identified,which shows a higher protection than the Sj26GST.
