Vibrio cholerae serotype O1 causes diarrhea in many developing countries around the world. In most cases, cholera patients pose some sorts of immunity against the naturally occurring infection. In the present study, the bactericidal activity of the sera of rabbit immunized with whole cell extract of Vibrio cholerae O1 was investigated. The protein profile of the serotype exhibited 20 types of proteins of distinguished molecular weights. The western blot analysis revealed at least 10 proteins to be immunogenic. Interestingly, decomplementation of the sera was found to abolish the bactericidal activity. The bactericidal activity of non immunized rabbit sera was also investigated and the results revealed that the immunized sera were more effective than that of non immunized one.

To evaluate the effects of Calcium carbide (CaC2) in biological system, an in vivo study was carried out on Long Evans rats. CaC2 was administered orally once daily for one month with specific concentrations. Group- I was considered as the control group (without CaC2), Group - II, III, IV and V were the sample groups treated with CaC2 having concentration of 1g/kg, 2g/kg, 5g/kg and 10g/kg body weight respectively. The experiment was conducted to detect any cellular and molecular level changes caused by CaC2. The histopathology and isozyme assay were performed to analyze the changes in the activities of the genes affected by the free radicals released from CaC2. The molecular analysis included different isozymes namely esterase and acid phosphatase. Polyacrylamide electrophoresis of whole cell extract of control subjects and CaC2 administered rats were performed; subsequently the gels were treated with the substrates for acid phosphatase and esterase respectively. No difference was observed in the whole cell extract band pattern between the control subject and the CaC2 administered rats, which grossly indicates that the CaC2 has no effect on the expression pattern of isozymes (acid phosphatase and esterase). Histopathological analysis of liver, heart, spleen, kidney and lungs were performed to observe any change due to the administration of CaC2. Remarkable changes were observed during the histopathological study of lungs and kidney only. The histopathological analysis of kidney showed the thickening of the lining of collecting tubules with changes in cell structure while lungs were found to be increased moderately in weight, with focal areas of consolidation that was found red-brown to red.

Antigen receptor gene rearrangement is directed by DNA motifs consisting of a conserved heptamer and nonamer separated by a nonconserved spacer of either 12 or 23 base pairs (12 or 23 recombination signal sequences [RSS]). V(D)J recombination requires that the rearranging DNA segments be flanked by RSSs of different spacer lengths, a phenomenon known as the 12/23 rule. Recent studies have shown that this restriction operates at the level of DNA cleavage, which is mediated by the products of the recombination activating genes RAG1 and RAG2. Here, we show that RAG1 and RAG2 are not sufficient for 12/23 dependent cleavage, whereas RAG1 and RAG2 complemented with whole cell extract faithfully recapitulates the 12/23 rule. In addition, HMG box containing proteins HMG1 and HMG2 enhance RAG1- and RAG2-mediated cleavage of substrates containing 23 RSS but not of substrates containing only 12 RSS. These results suggest the existence of a nucleoprotein complex at the cleavage site, consisting of architectural, catalytic, and regulatory components.
