Objective:To improve the immunoblotting of immunoprecipitated proteins and decrease the interference of immunoprecipitation antibody in the interaction of endogenous proteins. Methods:Transient transfect cells with fusion protein expression vector containing the targeted S5b gene and the FLAG tag, the transfected cells or untransfected cells were harvested to study the exogenous or endogenous protein interaction. The total cell lysate was immunoprecipitated by specific antibody. Then the eluted immunocomplex was separated by SDS-PAGE, and the TrueBlot antibody or conventional antibody was used as the secondary antibody for immunoblotting detection of S5b and its partner (Rpt1 and Rpt2). Results:Clear immunoblotting bands for S5b, Rpt1 and Rpt2 were obtained. Conclusion:TrueBlot antibody prefers the immunoblot antibody to immunoprecipitation antibody, and decreases the interruption of immunoprecipitation antibody to display clear protein band.

BJECTIVE: To observe peripheral T lymphocytes changes of patients with lumbar disc herniation, and investigate the relationship between the type of herniation, signs and T lymphocyte subsets. METHODS: Blood samples from 49 patients with single.level lumbar intervertebral disc herniation were collected from General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from January to October 2008, including 26 males and 23 females. There were 22 cases of L_(4~5) and 27 cases of L_5S_1. In the straight leg raising (SLR) test before treatment, 34 cases were positive and 15 were negative. According to the position of intervertebral disc observed in operation, the patients were divided into ruptured disc herniation (RDH, n=30) and degenerative disc herniation (DDH, n=19) groups. In addition, blood samples from 20 healthy blood donors were collected as control group. T lymphocytes subsets were detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The levels of CD3~+, CD4~+, and CD4~+/CD8~+ in RDH group were significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05), and the levels of CD8~+ in RDH group were significantly lower than control group (P < 0.05). The levels of CD4~+ and CD4~+/CD8~+ in positive SLR test group were significantly higher than patients with negative results, but significantly lower levels of CD8~+ was found in positive group than negative group (P < 0.05). The positive rate of SLR test in RDH group was significantly higher than that of SLR testing in DDH group. CONCLUSION: Changes of T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood were found after herniation of lumbar intervertebral disc. T lymphocytes mediated immune response may play an important role in the occurrence and development of signs in patients with herniated lumbar intervertebral disc. The SLR test may help to confirm that the disc herniation may cause nerve root impairment by mechanical loading or inflammatory stimulus.

Objective To reveal and compare the immunogenicity of glycoprotein from nucleus pulposus and collagen from anulus fibrosus in rabbit intervertebral disc. Methods According to the similarity principle of genome biology and the amount of nucleus pulposus in different intervertebral disc, Glycoprotein from nucleus pulposus was harvested from the intervertebral disc of 20 rabbits and placed into the psoas by anterolateral approach. Similar implantation of collagen from anulus fibrosus was performed in another 20 rabbits. The implantations of autologous muscle in rabbits serve as a control group.After one week,two weeks, four weeks, six weeks and eight weeks, the rabbits were killed, the tissue was harvested. HE staining was applied to detect the degree of vascularization and infiltration of lymphocytes. Immunohistochemistry were used for analysis of T-helper cells (CD4+) and cytotoxic T cells (CD8+) in the tissue. Results HE staining showed the infiltration of lymphocytes was found just one week after implantation and vascularization was seen at the 2nd week in the glycoprotein implanted group. However in collagen implant group,small amounts of lymphocytic and atypical vascularization were seen at the 4th week. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the proportion of activated T cells (CD4+ and CD8+) was significantly higher in the glycoproteinimplanted group at all time points, as compared with the collagen-implanted group and sham group. The proportion of activated T cells was higher in collagen-implated group than that of in sham group . Conclusion The glycoprotein in nucleus pulposus is easier to induce the differentiation and mature of T cell. The antigenicity of glycoprotein in nucleus pulposus was stronger than that of collagen in anulus fibrosus in rabbit intervertebral discs.
