First Report of Colletotrichum siamense Causing Anthracnose of Monstera deliciosa in Zhanjiang, China.

Monstera deliciosa Liebm is an ornamental foliage plant (Zhen et al. 2020De Lojo and De Benedetto 2014). In July of 2019, anthracnose lesions were observed on leaves of M.

Effects of gastric cancer cells on the differentiation of Treg cells.

The aim of this study was evaluated the prevalence of Treg cells in peripheral blood in patients with gastric cancer, and investigate the effect of gastric cancer cells on their differentiation. ELISA was employed to assess the concentrations of TGF-β and IL-10 in gastric cancer patients' serum. Then, mouse gastric cancer cells were co-cultured with T lymphocytes or T lymphocytes + anti-TGF-β.

[Analysis of full-length gene sequence of rabies vaccine virus aG strain].

To sequence and analyze the full-length gene sequence of rabies vaccine virus aG strain. The full-length gene sequence of aG strain was amplified by RT-PCR by 8 fragments,each PCR product was cloned into vector pGEM-T respectively, sequenced and assemblied; The 5' leader sequence was sequenced with method of 5' RACE. The homology between aG and other rabies vaccine virus was analyzed by using DNAstar and Mega4.

[Analysis of full-length gene sequence of a rabies vaccine strain CTN-1 for human use in China].

CTN-1 is one of the rabies vaccine strains for human use in China, but there has been no report on the full-length gene sequence of CTN-1. In this study, the full-length gene of CTN-1 was amplified by RT-PCR, each PCR product was cloned into T vector and then sequenced, assemblied and compared with other vaccine strains as well as the wild Chinese rabies isolates. The phylogenetic tree of G gene was constructed and the genetic homology was analyzed.

[Study on the feasibility of a cell-culture inoculation test in the detection and isolation of street rabies virus].

Objective: Feasibility of using MNA cell-culture inoculation test to detect and isolate the street rabies virus.

Methods: Using MNA cell-culture inoculation test, fluorescent antibody test (FAT) and sandwich ELISA with double-antibodies to detect 33 specimens of street rabies virus, 20 specimens of negative canine brains and 4 specimens of healthy mice brains.

Results: 33 specimens of street rabies virus were positive to the cell-culture inoculation test but the others were negative.
