Influence of phosphate and hydroxyl ions on aluminum toxicity in soybeans and wheat     

L. M. Shuman  D. O. Wilson 《Journal of plant nutrition》2013,36(2-3):345-365

Aluminum (Al) toxicity to plants in complete nutrient solutions is difficult to relate to Al activity in solution because of precipitation and complexation. Aluminum toxicity was studied for two seedling crops, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell), at low levels (≤10 μM) in two incomplete nutrient solutions to study plant response to Al alone, Al+PO₄ ^3‐, Al+OH^‐, and Al+PO₄ ³‐+OH^‐. Relative root length was the bioassay for Al toxicity. ‘Monomeric’ Al was measured using Aluminon and both root length and measured Al were compared to the theoretical Al in solution predicted by the MINTEQA2 equilibrium model.

Low levels of Al were toxic to plant roots with sorghum showing a decrease in relative root length from 1 to 10 μM Al, and wheat showing a decrease from 4 to 10 μM. A mono‐salt background solution (400 μM CaCl₂) and a more complex base solution (CaCl₂, KNO₃, and MgCl₂) gave similar root lengths and measured Al values. Phosphate and hydroxyl ameliorated Al toxicity and lowered measured Al in solution, but not to the extent predicted by the model. Adding phosphate (PO₄ ^3‐) or hydroxyl (OH^‐) raised the pH, but again not as high as the model predicted. The difference in toxicity and measured Al were most likely the result of polymers (Al⁺³) which are toxic, but not measured by the procedure used, or included in the model which showed the Al as being removed from solution by precipitation.  相似文献   

Development and evaluation of a flow cytometry microsphere assay to detect anti-histone antibody in dogs     

Paul S  Wilkerson MJ  Shuman W  Harkin KR 《Veterinary immunology and immunopathology》2005,107(3-4):315-325

Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) is one of the diagnostic parameters that support a diagnosis of autoimmune disorders in humans, dogs, and horses, particularly the condition systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The most commonly used method for detecting ANA in canine serum is the indirect immunofluorescence antibody assay (IFA) that detects dog IgG with reactivity towards mammalian cell nuclei. Interpretation of the IFA results is very subjective and dependent on the source of tissue/cellular substrate. We have developed a flow cytometry based assay to detect canine serum antibodies specific to histones. Histones were chosen as the target antigen because these nuclear proteins are the most common nuclear substrate for ANA in dogs with SLE. Microsphere beads were coated with histones and incubated with canine sera. Bound anti-histone antibodies were detected by FITC-conjugated rabbit F(ab')2 anti-dog IgG. Sera from four groups of dogs (47 dogs total) were tested for anti-histone antibodies and compared with the traditional IFA assay. The groups included 15 healthy dogs, 15 dogs with noninflammatory diseases, 9 dogs with polyarthritis and positive ANA, and 8 German shepherds with perianal fistulas. The microsphere assay results indicated that only one dog in the noninflammatory group and four out of nine dogs in the polyarthritis group had mean fluorescent intensity values above our established cut-off (defined as 2 S.D. above the mean of healthy controls). There was moderate agreement between the anti-histone assay and the traditional ANA (kappa statistic=0.54). Absorption of ANA positive serum with total histones dramatically diminished the fluorescent signal detected by flow cytometry and the speckled nuclear pattern observed by IFA, whereas preabsorption did not change the diffuse nuclear staining pattern. These findings indicate that the anti-histone assay will not replace the ANA test and that other nuclear proteins, such as ribonucleoproteins may contribute to the diffuse ANA patterns.  相似文献   

Alterations in normal canine platelets during storage in EDTA anticoagulated blood     

Wilkerson MJ  Shuman W 《Veterinary clinical pathology / American Society for Veterinary Clinical Pathology》2001,30(3):107-113

Abstract: Flow cytometric detection of platelet surface-associated IgG (PSAIgG) can be used to determine whether immunologic factors are contributing to thrombocytopenia in dogs. In vitro alterations in platelet activation and morphology, however, could impact the results of this test. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the PSAIgG test for immune-mediated thrombocytopenia was valid on whole blood in EDTA anticoagulant after 24–72 hours of storage, and to characterize other alterations in canine platelets that could impact immunologic testing. Platelets were harvested and analyzed immediately after blood collection and after 24, 48, and 72 hours of storage at 4°C. Spontaneous and thrombin-induced changes in the following platelet parameters were evaluated using flow cytometric techniques: PSAIgG, platelet microparticle formation, membrane expression of P-selectin and glycoprotein CD61, exogenous IgG binding, surface-exposed phosphatidylserine, and fibrinogen binding. The amount of PSAIgG increased 6-to 9-fold in stored samples compared with fresh samples. Platelet microparticle formation was spontaneous in stored samples and increased significantly over time. Membrane phosphatidylserine, P-selectin, and fibrinogen binding were not altered by storage, indicating that platelet activation was minimal in stored samples. Although storage decreased the percentage of platelets positive for CD61 by 8-to 10-fold compared with fresh samples, activation by high-dose thrombin partially restored the percentage of CD61-positive platelets in 24-hour-old samples. In conclusion, even though platelets stored in EDTA for up to 72 hours remain in a resting state, aged platelets have an increased tendency to form microparticles and have increased surface IgG and decreased surface CD61, which may contribute to false-positive results for tests of immune-mediated thrombocytopenia.  相似文献

Peripheral Blood Lymphocyte Subpopulations and Immunoglobulin Concentrations in Healthy Foals and Foals with Rhodococcus equi Pneumonia     

M. Julia B.F. Flaminio  Bonnie R. Rush  Wilma Shuman 《Journal of veterinary internal medicine / American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine》1999,13(3):206-212

Infectious diseases are common in foals aged 1-5 months. The objectives of this investigation were to evaluate immunologic parameters in foals from birth to weaning to establish reference values for the proportion of circulating lymphocytes that were helper (CD4+) or cytotoxic (CD8+) T cells, or B cells; to measure serum immunoglobulin (IgM and IgG) concentrations; and to compare these immunologic parameters to values in foals with naturally occurring Rhodococcus equi pneumonia and in adult horses. Peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulations were determined by flow cytometric analysis, and serum IgG and IgM concentrations were determined by radial immunodiffusion. Flow cytometric analysis of lymphocyte subpopulations suggested age-related changes in the cell-mediated immune system in horses. Absolute circulating CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes and B cells increased linearly up to 3 months of age. Circulating B cell concentrations from birth to 6 months of age were greater than values in adult horses and the lymphocyte differences among the age groups are mainly due to variation in B lymphocytes. Both absolute and proportional B cell concentrations were greater in foals with R equi pneumonia than in healthy foals at the same age. The increase in absolute cell counts of each subpopulation was dependent on the increase of absolute peripheral blood lymphocyte count. Serum IgG concentration increased linearly from 1 to 3 months of age, and serum IgM concentrations increased from 1 to 6 months of age. These data suggest age-dependent cell-mediated and humoral development in young foals.  相似文献
