项目摘要

It has been suggested that anti-retina antibodies are produced and affect the pathogenesis of some kinds of retinal disorders. In this project, as the first step, it was examined whether or not anti-retina antibodies were detected in the serum of patients with retinal disorders qualitatively and quantitatively. Rhodopsin, retinal S-antigen, cathepsin D and crude extract retina were used as retinal antigens. Patients with prolonged and extensive rhegmatogenous retinal detachment as well as those with acute retinal necrosis or inflammatory pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy exhibited high titers of antibody to retinal crude extract.As the second step of this project, retina specific antigens were examined. Cloned cDNA's for rhodopsin, retinal S-antigen, transducin (alpha-subunit), IRBP, CRALBP, MEKA, protein and 33kDa protein were obtained and transfected into E. coli JM109 with approproiate plasmid vectors, so that molecular biological analysis of patients' genomic DNA is able to be readily performed as a laboratory examination in a clinical department. Moreover, in order to prepare experiments for the isolation of unknown retinal antigens, cDNA was synthesized from mRNA isolated from human brains and human retinal cDNA library was prepared.As the third step of this project, genomic DNA's from patients with retinitis pigmentosa were examined with a particular interest on the rhodopsin gene using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. As a result, two cases of one pedigree with autosomal dominant retinitis pimentosa was found to have a point mutation in the rhodopsin gene, suggesting that rhodopsin gene could be related to the pathogenesis of a kind of retinitis pimentosa.

已经提出，产生抗逆转录抗体并影响某些视网膜疾病的发病机理。在该项目中，作为第一步，在定性和定量性视网膜疾病的患者的血清中是否检测到抗逆转抗体。视紫红素，视网膜S抗原，组织蛋白酶D和粗提取物视网膜用作视网膜抗原。长时间且广泛的类风湿性视网膜脱离以及患有急性视网膜坏死或炎性色素色素性偏红色视网膜类染色性萎缩的患者表现出对视网膜原油提取物的抗体。克隆的cDNA可用于可获得视紫红素，视网膜S抗原，透性（Alpha-subunit），IRBP，Cralbp，Meka，蛋白质和33KDA蛋白，并转染并转染到大肠杆菌JM109中，并具有针对适当的质粒载体的临床研究，从而在临床上进行了临床研究，从而可以进行基因研究，从而有能力进行基因学分析，从而有能力进行基因学分析。部门。 Moreover, in order to prepare experiments for the isolation of unknown retinal antigens, cDNA was synthesized from mRNA isolated from human brains and human retinal cDNA library was prepared.As the third step of this project, genomic DNA's from patients with retinitis pigmentosa were examined with a particular interest on the rhodopsin gene using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism.结果，发现两例具有常染色体显性视网膜炎的pimentosa的谱系在视紫红质基因中具有一个点突变，这表明若订光蛋白基因可能与Pimentosa的一种视网膜炎的发病机理有关。
