Cellsearch检测CTC--陈巍学基因（30）
欢迎来到【陈巍学基因】,我们这个节目，主要是为大家介绍基因组学，和临床分子诊断的最新技术进展。
今天，会和大家谈一下Jassen公司（强生公司）出品的Cellsearch系统。它的主要应用是：检测循环肿瘤细胞，并对癌症给出预后信息。以下是课程内容概括：
1.什么是循环肿瘤细胞(CTC)及其“液体活检”的难点。
2. Cellsearch系统的检测原理：（1）用微磁珠对CTC细胞进行富集；（2）用针对DNA的荧光染色剂“DAPI”进行染色，以排除红细胞；（3）区分白细胞和CTC细胞。
3.Cellsearch系统实际操作的演示。
4.CTC检测，在癌症诊疗方面所起到的作用。
综上所述：Cellsearch系统，是第一个标准化的、半自动化的，循环肿瘤细胞检测系统。它通过快速、精确地确定血液样本中的CTC细胞数量。可以帮助医生在整个治疗过程当中，提供准确的预后评估手段。

Norma Andrews (U. Maryland) Part 1: Trypanosoma cruzi and Chagas’ Disease
Lecture overview:
Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania are closely related intracellular protozoan parasites that cause serious diseases throughout the world. In the first part of this lecture, I will present background material on the biology of Trypanosoma cruzi and the history of its discovery as an important agent of human disease in Latin America. I will also discuss the main characteristics of the disease, and the current efforts to stop human transmission.
In the second part of this lecture, I will present background material on Leishmania, the intracellular protozoan parasites responsible for severe human pathology in several parts of the world. I will discuss the main disease forms, the history of identification of the causative agent and form of transmission, and recent discoveries that established important concepts in our understanding of this increasingly serious infectious disease.
In the third part of this lecture, I will discuss current work from our laboratory on mechanisms used by the intracellular parasites Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania to interact with mammalian cells. In addition to clarifying specific molecular strategies used by these parasites to infect and survive within host cells, these studies also led, in some instances, to unexpected insights on novel pathways regulating mammalian cell function.
speaker bio:
Norma Andrews is currently a Professor and Chair of the Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics at the University of Maryland. she received a B.s. degree in biology (1977) and a Ph.D. degree in biochemistry (1983) from the University of são Paulo, Brazil.
In 1990, after completing postdoctoral studies in the laboratory of Victor Nussenzweig at New York University, she was appointed Assistant Professor at Yale University where she remained until 2010.
Andrews was a Burroughs Wellcome New Investigator, a Burroughs Wellcome Molecular Parasitology scholar and recipient of a NIH MERIT Award. Her laboratory has made numerous contributions to the cell biology of host-pathogen interactions, and discoveries in this area have led to the identification and functional characterization of a novel pathway of Ca2+-regulated lysosomal exocytosis in mammalian cells.

Bonnie Bassler (Princeton) Part 1: Bacterial Communication via Quorum sensing
Bacteria, primitive single-celled organisms, communicate with chemical languages that allow them to synchronize their behavior and thereby act as enormous multi-cellular organisms. This process is called quorum sensing and it enables bacteria to successfully infect and cause disease in plants, animals, and humans. Investigations of the molecular mechanisms underlying quorum sensing are leading to the development of novel strategies to interfere with quorum sensing. These strategies form the basis of new therapies to be used as antibiotics. see more at http://www.ibioseminars.org

病毒结构的一般原则 - stephen Harrison P1

stephen Harrison (Harvard) Part 1: Virus structures: General principles
Harrison begins his talk by asking why most non-enveloped viruses and some enveloped viruses are symmetrical in shape. He proceeds to show us lovely images of the structures obtained by x-ray crystallography of numerous viral coat proteins. Deciphering these structures allowed scientists to understand that viral coat proteins form multimers, such as dimers and pentamers, which in turn interact with a scaffold that ensures that the coat proteins are correctly placed. This arrangement results in symmetrically shaped viruses.
In Part 1, Harrison also explains that enveloped viruses infect cells by inducing the fusion of the viral and host cell membranes. He delves deeper into the molecular mechanism of membrane fusion driven by the hemagglutinin or HA protein of the influenza virus in Part 2 of his talk.
Non-enveloped viruses, on the other hand, must enter cells by a mechanism other than membrane fusion. This is the focus of Part 3. Using rotavirus as a model, Harrison and his colleagues have used a combination of Xray crystallography and electron cryomicroscopy to decipher how the spike protein on the viral surface changes its conformation and perforates the cell membrane allowing the virus to enter the cell.
