    Notes: This paper describes the expression analyses of the AtSTP3 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana, the functional characterization of the encoded protein as a new monosaccharide transporter, and introduces the AtSTP gene family. The kinetic properties of the AtSTP3 protein (for sugar transport protein 3) were studied in a hexose transport deficient mutant of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. AtSTP3 represents a new monosaccharide transporter that is composed of 514 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 55·9 kDa. Kinetic analyses in yeast showed that AtSTP3 is a low affinity, energy-dependent H+ symporter with a Km for D-glucose of 2 mM. RNase protection analyses revealed that AtSTP3 is expressed in leaves and floral tissue of Arabidopsis. This expression pattern of the AtSTP3 gene was confirmed in AtSTP3 promoter-β-glucuronidase (GUS) plants showing AtSTP3-driven GUS activity in green leaves, such as cotelydons, rosette and stalk leaves and sepals. Wounding caused an induction of GUS activity in the transgenic plants and an increase of AtSTP3 mRNA levels in Arabidopsis wild-type plants. Polymerase chain reaction analyses with degenerate primers identified additional new AtSTP genes and revealed that AtSTP3 is the member of a large family of at least 14 homologous genes coding for putative monosaccharide-H+ symporters (AtSTPs).

    Notes: Background Several studies have demonstrated that mucosal administration of soluble antigens can prevent the onset or reduce the severity of certain autoimmune diseases or allergies. Few studies exist showing the efficacy of mucosal tolerance for therapy of such diseases.Objective The aim of the present study was to modulate an allergic immune response by intranasal antigen administration in an already sensitized organism.Methods A murine model of allergic asthma to birch pollen (BP) and its major allergen Bet v 1 was utilized. Sensitized mice were intranasally treated with recombinant (r)Bet v 1 in different concentrations and at different intervals. On the day the mice were killed, blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids were taken and immediate type I skin tests were performed. T cell proliferation and cytokine production (interleukin (IL)-5, interferon (IFN)-γ) were measured in spleen and lung cell cultures.Results Mucosal treatment with rBet v 1 (3 × 50 µg in 4 day intervals) led to a reduction of type I skin reactions, suppressed immunoglobulin (Ig)G1/IgE antibody levels and markedly decreased IL-5 and IFN-γ production in vitro in spleen and lung cell cultures. Moreover, lung inflammation (i.e. eosinophilia and IL-5 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids) was significantly suppressed by the treatment.Conclusion Our results demonstrate that intranasal treatment with rBet v 1 reduced systemic allergic immune responses as well as airway inflammation in BP-sensitized mice. We therefore suggest that mucosal tolerance induction with recombinant allergens could be a promising concept for the therapy of allergic diseases.

    Notes: Background and objective In previous studies we have generated mimotopes of Bet v 1, the major birch pollen allergen, by biopannings of phage-display random peptide libraries. In the present study, we analysed the humoral and cellular immune response to Bet v 1-mimotopes.Methods The mimotope CFPYCYPSESA, designated Bet mim 1, was used for intraperitoneal immunizations of BALB/c mice in phage-displayed form. For examination of the humoral immune response, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) experiments were applied. Stimulation capacities were investigated in cultured mouse splenocytes and in humoral Bet v 1-specific T cell clones.Results We demonstrated that the Bet mim 1-induced murine antibody response against Bet v 1 was predominated by the IgG1 isotype. In these mice only the phage-displayed mimotopes, but neither the allergen nor the synthetic Bet mim 1-mimotopes were able to stimulate proliferation of cultured splenocytes. Using Bet v 1-specific T cell clones of allergic patients, phage-displayed and synthetic mimotopes were unable to stimulate T cell proliferation. Moreover, tolerance induction to Bet v 1 in mice by intranasal administration of Bet mim 1-phages or Bet mim 1-peptide failed.Conclusion Taking these results together, our data indicate that Bet mim 1 mimics a Bet v 1-epitope on the B cell but not on the T cell level. We suggest that the phage itself is responsible for the recruitment of T cells providing bystander help in the formation of a mimotope-specific humoral response.

    Notes: In this paper, I want to show, by the examination of a well-known paradox, how failure to attend to ordinary usage leads to confusion and perplexity.

    Notes: Summary The dependence of the chloride distribution coefficient on the co-ion of solutions of different alkali fluorides, MF, up to 11M is tested on the strongly basic anion-exchange resin AG1-X10. Under the same experimental conditions the distribution coefficient decreases in the following order for M+: Na+〉K+〉Rb+〉Cs+. This can be explained by the different co-ion-chloride interactions. The consequence of this interaction for a chromatographic separation of chloride is shown with 5M KF and CsF solutions, used as eluants. Depending on the fluoride concentration, the distribution coefficient passes through a minimum value to increase again at higher electrolyte concentration. The non-exchange electrolyte in the resin phase is responsible for this effect. In addition, the bromide and the iodide distribution coefficients up to 10M KF solutions are determined. One results is that the selectivity coefficient between halide ions increases at higher electrolyte concentrations.
