Aim. To obtain of cell lines and plant-regenerants of winter triticale resistant for salt stress the in vitro selection was carried out. Methods. In order to select resistant to salt stress forms of triticale the efficiency of using direct and step-type in vitro selection with application of selective system based on sodium chloride has been investigated. Results. The direct and step-type in vitro selection was conducted and the selection of callus lines of triticale being resistant to simu-lated salinity was carried out. As a result, from line 38/1296 and variety Obriy respectively, 5 and 4 resistant callus lines were identified that had a high survival rate on the selective medium with 1.2 % NaCl and maintained morphogenetic potential. From the resistant lines plant regenerants were induced and their rearing, rooting and transfer to in vivo condi-tions were optimized. Conclusions. A step-type in vitro selection was more effective, because resulted from the selec-tion more resistant callus forms were identified. First cell lines of winter triticale with resistance to salt stress were de-rived.Keywords: Triticale, in vitro selection, callus, salt stress, resistance.

In vitro selection of antibodies from large repertoires of immunoglobulin (Ig) combining sites using combinatorial libraries is a powerful tool, with great potential for generating in vivo scavengers for toxins. However, addition of a maturation function is necessary to enable these selected antibodies to more closely mimic the full mammalian immune response. We approached this goal using quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations to achieve maturation in silico. We preselected A17, an Ig template, from a naïve library for its ability to disarm a toxic pesticide related to organophosphorus nerve agents. Virtual screening of 167,538 robotically generated mutants identified an optimum single point mutation, which experimentally boosted wild-type Ig scavenger performance by 170-fold. We validated the QM/MM predictions via kinetic analysis and crystal structures of mutant apo-A17 and covalently modified Ig, thereby identifying the displacement of one water molecule by an arginine as delivering this catalysis.

Ceftazidime/avibactam uniquely demonstrates activity against both KPC and OXA-48-like carbapenemase-expressing Enterobacterales. Clinical resistance to ceftazidime/avibactam in KPC-producers was foreseen in in-vitro resistance studies. Herein, we assessed the resistance selection propensity of ceftazidime/avibactam in K. pneumoniae expressing OXA-48-like β-lactamases (n = 10), employing serial transfer approach. Ceftazidime/avibactam MICs (0.25–4 mg/L) increased to 16–256 mg/L after 15 daily-sequential transfers. The whole genome sequence analysis of terminal mutants showed modifications in proteins linked to efflux (AcrB/AcrD/EmrA/Mdt), outer membrane permeability (OmpK36) and/or stress response pathways (CpxA/EnvZ/RpoE). In-vitro growth properties of all the ceftazidime/avibactam-selected mutants were comparable to their respective parents and they retained the ability to cause pulmonary infection in neutropenic mice. Against these mutants, we explored the activities of various combinations of β-lactams (ceftazidime or cefepime) with structurally diverse β-lactamase inhibitors or a β-lactam enhancer, zidebactam. Zidebactam, in combination with either cefepime or ceftazidime, overcame ceftazidime/avibactam resistance (MIC range 0.5–8 mg/L), while cefepime/avibactam was the second best (MIC: 0.5–16 mg/L) in yielding lower MICs. The present work revealed the possibility of ceftazidime/avibactam resistance in OXA-48-like K. pneumoniae through mutations in proteins involved in efflux and/or porins without concomitant fitness cost mandating astute monitoring of ceftazidime/avibactam resistance among OXA-48 genotypes.

Two tumor cell lines adapted to grow in vitro were originated from an explant of lung metastases of Lewis lung carcinoma. These lines differ in their malignancy when reinoculated into syngeneic animals; nevertheless, they do not show any difference for their in vitro clonogenic ability. From these lines 2 in vivo sublines of 3LL carcinoma were developed. The TD 50 of the 2 in vivo sublines are different, and both the values obtained are lower than that of the original line. These results are interpreted as a selection of more malignant tumor cell lines.
