    Notes: Abstract Crude histoplasmin and a polysaccharide-protein complex (PPC-histo) antigens obtained from culture filtrates ofHistoplasma capsulatum were analyzed by single and tandem two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis (TD-IEP) using a rabbit hyperimmune anti-histoplasmin polyvalent serum. Single TD-IEP showed 14 arc precipitates for histoplasmin. Continuity of arcs 2, 6, and 7, and 9 and 10 was observed, suggesting a different polymeric configuration of the same antigen. This was also confirmed in tandem TD-IEP of histoplasmin with homologous (PPC-histo) and heterologous PPC's fromBlastomyces dermatitidis, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis andCoccidioides immitis. Tandem TD-IEP of histoplasmin and PPC-histo displayed a similar antigenic pattern to histoplasmin alone, being arcs 1 and 3 more evident and apparently present only in histoplasmin and PPC-histo. Tandem TD-IEP showed common antigens among the other heterologous fungal purified antigens, and seems useful to observe the multiplicity of antigens present in fungal preparations and to identify those precipitates (arcs 1 and 3) that are predominant in the purified preparation.

    Notes: Abstract Certain groups of fungi share chemical structures which makes difficult the isolation and differentiation of specific antigens by the usual methods of extraction and purification. Therefore, we have oriented our studies to the immunological and biochemical characterization of differences and similarities of molecular structures from fungi, etiologic agents of systemic mycoses, hoping to establish criteria for the utilization and handling of these antigens. A deproteinized polysaccharide-protein complex (D-PPC) was isolated from Histoplasma capsulatum and Blastomyces dermatitidis. The immunological studies with humoral tests indicate a variable cross reaction between antigens of both species. In immunodiffussion systems, the reaction was specific for each species using saline solution or phosphate buffer solution, while using an agarose veronal system, the cross reactions were very evident. In addition, differences in cross reactions were obtained with immunoelectrophoresis, haemagglutination and complement fixation microtest. This variation in cross reaction responses suggest that these antigens (D-PPC) share common structures but at the same time must have some different component owned by each one of the fungi which makes them more specific than crude antigens.

    Notes: Abstract The lack of alternative selectable markers in crop transformation has been a substantial barrier for commercial application of agricultural biotechnology. We have developed an efficient selection system for wheat transformation using glyphosate-tolerant CP4 and GOX genes as a selectable marker. Immature embryos of the wheat cultivar Bobwhite were bombarded with two separate plasmids harboring the CP4/GOX and GUS genes. After a 1 week delay, the bombarded embryos were transferred to a selection medium containing 2 mM glyphosate. Embryo-derived calli were subcultured onto the same selection medium every 3 weeks consecutively for 9–12 weeks, and were then regenerated and rooted on selection media with lower glyphosate concentrations. Transgenic plants tolerant to glyphosate were recovered. ELISA assay confirmed expression of the CP4 and GOX genes in R0 plants. Southern blot analysis demonstrated that the transgenes were integrated into the wheat genomes and transmitted to the following generation. The use of CP4 and GOX genes as a selectable marker provides an efficient, effective, and alternative transformation selection system for wheat.
