The proteoglycan, intracellular and extracellular, extracted from the liquid culture of Phellinus igniarius were purified and characterized. The mycelial productivity was proved to be better in shaking culture compared to standing culture. The productivity of intracellular proteoglycan of Phellinus igniarius appeared to be similar in two culturing methods. The standing culture of Phellinus igniarius produced 6 times as much extracellular proteoglycan compared to shaking culture. The proteoglycan were purified to a single peak by ion exchange chromatography(DEAE-cellulose) followed by gel filtration(Sepharose 2B). PIEPDG contained 79.0% total sugar and 7.2% protein. PIEPAG contained 56.7% total sugar and 40.8% protein. PIIPDG contained 64.8% total sugar and 17.4% protein. PIIPAG contained 56.9% total sugar and 41.5%n protein. The molecular weights of all the fractions were estimated to be above 100,000, from 134KDa of PIEPDG to 560 KDa of PIEPAG. The results of sugar analysis by HPLC showed that PIEPDG contains glucose only. The sugar part of PIIPDG and PIIPAG were consisted of glucose and inositol. The PIEPAG contained three kinds of monosaccharides, glucose, fructose and inositol.

녹용이 동물체에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위한 일환으로 녹용 침출액을 집토끼에 주사한 후 여기에서 여섯개의 조직(골격근, 간, 신장, 부신, 비장, 심장근)을 선택 적출하여 disc-gel electrophoresis로 수용성 단백 분획상을 비교 하여 보았다. 대조군과 5일간 주사한 군에서 간, 신장, 부신, 비장에서는 서로 동일한 영동분획상이 나타났으나 골격근과 심장근에서는 대조군보다 실험군(5일간과 15일간 녹용침출액을 주사한 군)의 영동대에서 하나의 영동대가 더 나타났다. 한편 15일간 주사한 실험군과 5일간 주사한 실험군 사이에서는 단백분 획상의 차이점이 없음을 알았다. 이와 같은 변화는 녹용의 어떤 특수성분이 주로 근육형 조직에서만 백질을 합성하는 기작에 영향을 끼친 것이 아닌가 사려된다.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of cysteine proteinase of Trichomonas vaginalis in escaping from host defense mechanism. A cysteine proteinase of T. vaginalis was purified by affinity chromatography and gel filtration. Optimum pH for the purified proteinase activity was 6.0. The proteinase was inhibited by cysteine and serine proteinase inhibitors such as E-64, NEM, IAA, leupeptin. TPCK and TLCK, and also by $Hg^{2+}$, but not affected by serine-, metallo-, and aspartic proteinase inhibitors such as PMSF, EDTA and pepstatin A. However, it was activated by the cysteine proteinase activator, DTT. The molecular weight of a purified proteinase was 62 kDa on gel filtration and 60 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Interestingly, the purified proteinase was able to degrade serum IgA, secretory IgA, and serum IgG in time- and dose-dependent manners. In addition, the enzyme also degraded hemoglobin in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that the acidic cysteine proteinase of T. vaginalis may play a dual role for parasite survival in conferring escape from host humoral defense by degradation of immunoglobulins, and in supplying nutrients to parasites by degradation of hemoglobin.

In order to clarify the effect of the fish meat hydrolysate on the growth of lactic acid bacteria(Str. lactis, Str. thermophibus, L. bulgaricus, L. acidophilus, and L. helveticus), the optimum conditions for hydrolyzing the fish meat were examined, and changes of the acid production, viable cell count of lactic acid bacteria and the charge of pH of the culture medium by addition of the fish meat hydrolysate were tested. The results were as follows: 1. When the hydrolysis of back muscle of mackerel was proceeded at $50^{\circ}C$ and at pH 8, for 48 hours adding 6% pancreatin of the protein content in the substrate, the best result was obtained. 2. The composition of the fish meat hydrolysate were 53.6% moisture, 32.4% protein, 1.0% fat, 10.7% carbohydrate, and 3.2% ash. 3. Above 0.1% of the fish meat hydrolysate in the culture medium, the acidity of the culture medium by Sir. lactis and Str. thermophilus were increased remarkably. The acidity of the culture medium by L. acidophilus and L. helveticus were increased in above 0.2% fish meat hydrolysate in the culture medium. but L. bulgaricus was not effected by the fish meat hydrolysate. 4. The pH of the culture medium during incubating Str. laclis and Sir. thermophilus failed obviously by adding the fish meat hydrolysate. But in the cases of L. bulgaricus, L. acidophilus, and L. helveticus, the pH were not changed clearly. 5. The viable cell count in all bacterial strains tested here were elevated by increasing the concentration of the fish meat hydrolysate.

본 연구는 D-galactosamine을 이용한 중기발암성 모델에서 세포성면역중의 하나인 natural killer (NK) 세포활성과 c-myc 종양단백의 발현을 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. 수컷 6주령의 SPF SD랫드 50마리를 3개군으로 각 군당 20마리씩 나누어 배치하였다. 실험 0일에 제 1,2 군에서 DEN을 복강내로 체중 kg당 200mg 1회 투여하여 발암유발을 하였으며 대조군인 제 3군에는 saline을 투여하였다. 제 2주에 제 1군에는 강력한 발암촉진물질인 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF)을 사료에 0.01% 투여하였으며, 제 2군은 미약한 발암촉진물질인 phenobarbital (PB)을 0.05%로 음수에 6주간 투여하였다 제 8, 15, 36주에 경시적으로 부검하였다. 제 8주에 부검시 GST-P$^{+}$ 병변이 잘 유도되어 전암병변의 유도가 잘 되었음을 확인하였다. 제 15주에 부검시 AAF를 투여한 군에서 glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-p)에 대한 면역조직화학적 염색에서 AAF와 PB를 투여한 제 1군 및 제 2군의 간장에서는 주위조직과 한계가 명료한 GST-P$^{+}$ 증식성 결절과 병소를 관찰할 수 있었으나 기초 사료만을 투여한 제 3군은 어떠한 GST-P$^{+}$ 증식성 결절 및 병소를 관찰할 수 없었다. 랫드에서 natural killer세포는 사람이나 마우스에서 주로 자연살생능 (natural killing activity)을 보이는 LGL(lure granular lymphocyte)의 형태를 띄고 있었으며 LGL 이라고 부르는 것처럼 특징적으로 세포질 대 핵의 비율이 높고 azurophilic 과립을 세포질내에 함유하고 있으며 일반적으로 신장 형태의 핵을 가지고 있었다. 또한 세포의 크기는 small lymphocyte와 대식세포 (macrophage)의 중간 크기였다. 15주와 시험종료시 정상대조군인 제 3군의 랫드로 부터 분리한 NK 세포활성도 (% cytotoxicity)에 비하여 발암물질 투여군의 NK 활성도는 PB 투여군들의 NK활성도 보다 약간 낮았다. 랫드에서 c-myc 종양단백은 65KD 와 671KD 에서 band가 형성된 것이 관찰되었다. 시험 개시후 15주에 부검한 랫드의 간에서 c-myc 종양단백의 발현은 모든 처리군들이 대조군에 비하여 높게 발현되는. 것이 관찰되었으나 시험개시후 26주에 부검한 랫드의 간에서 c-myc 종양단백의 발현은 대조군에 비하여 차이가 거의 없었다. 따라서 랫드에서 화학적으로 유도한 간암발생 과정에서 NK 세포활성이 현저하게 억제되는 것으로 생각되며, c-myc 종양단백의 발현은 시험개시후 15주에 그 발현이 확실한 것으로 사료되어 진다.

Lean and obese male spontaneously hypertensive(SHR/Mcc-cp) rats were fed a ground rat chow diet with or without 0.001% estrone added from 6 to 18 weeks of age. Urine samples were collected weekly with 24 hour fasting. Both control lean and obese rats showed significantly higher urinary protein than their estrone treated counterparts. Treatment with 0.001% estrone diet was found to reduced the proteinuria in the maturing lean and obese SHR/Mcc-cp rats. Peaks in urinary protein level were noted at 16 weeks of age in both lean and obese control rats. Both control and estrone treated lean rats showed higher proteinuria than the obese rats. Therefore, obesity does not appear to be a contributing factor to the proteinuria in young male SHR/Mcc-cp rats.

The yolk protein of spotted flounder, Verasper variegatus was purified by precipitation wit cold distilled water, followed by Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography. The purified protein was identified as vitellin by Ouchterlony's immunodiffusion test and immunoelectrophoresis. The purified vitellin from ovarian crude extracts has same antigenic determinants with the female specific serum protein, vitellogenin. The molecular weight of purified vitellin was estimated about 550 kD by gel filfration. The vitellin was composed of three major subunits with molecular weight of about 108, 85 and 31 kD, and two minor subunits. The vitellin was identified by western blot analysis using anti-vitellin antibody.

Specific antibodies were produced to develope the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for analysis of soy proteins and the properties of the antibodies were compared. Isolate soy protein(ISP), and ISP heated with SDS and urea (ISP(SU)), acidic subunits(AS) of 11S globulin were immunized to produce polyclonal antibodies. By using competitive indirect ELISA(ciELISA), the reactivities of the antibodies toward soy proteins treated with different methods were investigated and shown as $IC_{50}$. $IC_{50}'s$ of anti-ISP antibodies to ISP, ISP(SU), ISP treated with 2-ME(ISP(ME)), and crude 11S were 20, 30, 36, and $1000\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. And the values of anti-ISP(SU) antibodies to the same antigens were 100, 5, 4, and $220\;{\mu}g/mL$ and those of anti-AS antibodies were 20, 2, 2.5, and $200\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Therefore, anti-AS antibodies showed the highest reactivities toward soy proteins among the produced antibodies as determined by ciELISA.
