RESUMO
To increase the efficiency of in vitro transformation of human lymphocytes by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and establish permanent lymphoblastoid cell lines from patients with abnormal chromosome karyotype, B lymphoid cells were prepared from cryopreserved heparinized blood samples. The lymphoid cell pellet was resuspended with 0.5 ml medium of RPMI with 20% fetal calf serum(FCS), and added 2 ml virus-containing superatant of the EB virus-producing cell lines by filtrated, and mixed. Four 25 cm2 cell culture bottles were put upright. A total of 2.5 ml of RPMI with 20% FCS was put in each of them. The blood-virus mixture was distributed among the four cell culture bottles as follows: Bottle I, Bottle II, Bottle III and Bottle IV were added with 0.3 ml, 0.6 ml, 1.2 ml and the rest respectively. The cells culture bottles were put into the cell culture incubator in an upright position. After 3 days the cells were puting new medium with 20% FCS as follows: Bottle I 3 ml, Bottle II 4 ml, Bottle III 5 ml and Bottle IV 6 ml. After one week, the medium was changed again as described above. The medium change was conducted until the cells grew very fast. The right ratio between blood cells and virus titer can not be exactly determined for every blood sample, and therefore a dilution series with four different blood/virus ratios was set up. Due to the dilution series, addition of immune inhibitors like cyclosporine, was not necessary. Forty-seven permanent lymphoblastoid cell lines of patients with abnormal chromosome karyotype. Transformed cells were found in only one or two of the four cell culture bottles. The total successive rate increased up to 97.87%. Of the four cell culture bottles, Bottle I, Bottle II, Bottle III and Bottle IV, the successive rates were 6.39%, 61.70%, 31.91% and 8.51% respectively. This method can be used for preserving large number of lymphoblastoid cell lines, and also provide enough research materials for further studies.

To investigate the allele frequencies of six short tandem repeats (STR) loci: F13A1, F13B, D8S1179, CSF1PO, D5S818 and TPOX in Han population in Henan province, DNA was extracted with chelex from EDTA-blood samples of the unrelated individuals in Henan province and amplified with PCR technique. The PCR product was analyzed with the undenatured PAGE vertical electrophoresis and silverstain. The results were obtained through genetical analysis. The authors got the number of allele of six loci, Three alleles of F13A1 could be detected in this population. The F13A1 * 7 is the most common allele with a frequency of 45.2%, followed by F13A1 * 5 and F13A1 * 4 respectively. F13B had four alleles among which F13B * 10 has the highest frequency, followed by F13B * 9, F13B * 8, F13B * 11. The 8 alleles of D8S1179 in the order from high to low frequency is D8S1179 * 14, * 15, * 12, * 11, * 10. And the most common frequencies of alleles of CSF1PO, D5S818, TPOX ore CSF1PO * 12, D5S818 * 11, TPOX * 8, respectively followed by the allele of * 11, * 14, * 10, * 13 in CSF1PO locus, and * 12, * 13, * 10, * 9, * 14, * 8, * 15, * 7 in D5S818 locus, * 11, * 9, * 12, * 10 in TPOX locus. The heterozygosities of the six loci were 0.62, 0.46, 0.83, 0.59, 0.78 and 0.65; the discrimination powers were 0.78, 0.66, 0.95, 0.79, 0.92 and 0.82. The heterozygosities of the six loci are high and the frequencies are in good agreement with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The six loci are good as genetic markers. We can use these loci in dividualidentification and partenity test in forensic area.

We researched the genetic polymorphisms of vWA in Henan population and its usefulness in forensic science.DNA extracted from non-relative persons in Henan population with Chelex was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and was typed by nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis silver staining.A total of 8 alleles and 19 genotypes were found in Henan population,its heterozygosity is high and the locus can be used in forensic genetics. We obtained the allelic frequency of the locus vWA in Henan population. The results of amniotic fluid,villus,blood stain indicate vWA is a good locus for forensic study.
