나날이 발전하는 인터넷 기반의 네트워크 환경에서 보안의 중요성은 아무리 강조해도 지나치지 않다. 바이러스와 해킹 기술의 발전 속도는 항상 방어자의 능력을 앞지르고 있으며, 공격자들의 능력과 무관한 해킹 툴의 보급은 누구나가 해커가 될 수 있도록 하는데 일조하고 있다. 이제 더 이상 해킹과 바이러스로부터 안전지대는 없다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 이에 본 논문에서는 일정한 환경에서의 침입에 대해 학습을 하여 그 침입을 탐지할 수 있는 디텍터를 생성할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 공격 유형의 수에 비해 적은, 그러나 인공 면역계의 T 세포 형성과정인 부정선택을 이용한 학습알고리즘을 기반으로 생성된 디텍터들은 상대적으로 다양한 공격의 침입을 탐지한다. 이의 유효성을 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 확인한다.

In order to investigate the immune response induced by supplementation of herb medical stuff in diet on the nile tilapia. Oreochromis niloticus, experiments were performed with feeding of four different experimental diets supplemented with 2% ginseng. Panax ginseng, 3% Kugija. Lycium chinense, 3% Hasuo, Polygonum multiflorum, 2% Omija, Schizandra chinensis, respectively, for 84 days. The non-specific immune responses changed during the feeding period were investigated at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 weeks in each group. Average body weight of the nile tilapia with supplemented diets was heavier than control group. The fish fed on diet supplemented with 3% Kugija showed the better growth than the other tested groups. Complement activity such as complete hemolytic activity ($CH_{50}$) and bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli tended to be increased by the supplementation of herb medical stuff. The lysozyme activity of serum and adherent phagocyte activity showed higher in the fish fec on diet supplemented with 3% kugija than the other tested groups. In respect to the RPS against experimental Edwardsiella tarda infection, all of the group fed on the herb medical stuff in diet appeared higher response compared with control group. From these results, herb medical stuff (Panax ginseng, Lycium chinense. Polygonum multiflorum, Schizandra chinensis) might be used a additives of diet for the increasing of non-specific immune response or resistance against bacterial fish diseases.

착상은 정상적으로 발육한 건강한 배아와 자궁내막과의 만남으로 이루어진다. 따라서 착상을 이해하려면 배아의 발달 과정 및 배아가 착상시 극복해야 하는 정상적인 과정, 즉 배아와 자궁조직과의 접촉, 혈관 연결, 착상 내막 조직의 변화 및 모체 면역체계의 변화 등에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 배아에 염색체 이상 등이 동반되는 경우 건강한 signal로 자궁내막을 변화시킬 수 없으며 결과적으로 착상의 실패를 가져오게 된다. 착상과정에 있어 배아는 스스로의 정상적인 발달과정을 통하여 자궁내막의 변화를 일으킬 뿐 아니라, 또한 모체의 면역기전으로 부터 스스로를 보호할 능력을 갖추게 되므로 건강치 못한 배아는 자연도태된다.

This study was undertaken to compare the serological response of dogs to four commercially available combination vaccines and three different vaccination schedules to canine distemper virus (CDV). A total of 120 healthy puppies (20 puppies per group) at 6 weeks of age were randomly assigned to one of four vaccines [C, G, K, and V (or V3) groups] and one of vaccination schedules [V2 and V4 groups]. At six, nine, and 12 weeks of age, puppies in each group were vaccinated with one of four combination vaccines subcutaneously. And puppies in V2 and V4 groups were vaccinated with V vaccine every 2 weeks and 4 weeks, respectively. The serological responses to CDV component of the vaccines were determined by measuring SN titers. The immunogenicity of V vaccine was superior to the other vaccines and optimum vaccination schedule was 3 times vaccination with 3 weeks-interval starting vaccination at 6 weeks of age. Although puppies were vaccinated at 6 weeks of age, the geometric mean CDV titers of puppies in all groups by 9 weeks of age were under the protective level. Therefore, prophylactic measures should include isolation of young dogs from the dog population until vaccination can be expected to provide protection.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are primarily responsible for metastasis and recurrence, have self-renewal, differentiation, therapeutic resistance, and tumor formation abilities. Numerous studies have demonstrated the signaling pathways essential for the acquisition and maintenance of CSC characteristics, such as WNT/${\beta}$-catenin, Hedgehog, Notch, B lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 homolog (BMI1), Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), and TGF-${\beta}$ signals. However, few therapeutic strategies have been developed that can selectively eliminate CSCs. Recently, neutralizing antibodies against Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), have shown promising outcomes in clinical trials of melanoma, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer, as well as in hematologic malignancies. ICIs are considered to outperform conventional anticancer drugs by maintaining long-lasting anti-cancer effects, with less severe side effects. Several studies reported that ICIs successfully blocked CSC properties in head and neck squamous carcinomas, melanomas, and breast cancer. Together, these findings suggest that novel and effective anticancer therapeutic modalities using ICIs for selective elimination of CSCs may be developed in the near future. In this review, we highlight the origin and characteristics of CSCs, together with critical signaling pathways. We also describe progress in ICI-mediated anticancer treatment to date and present perspectives on the development of CSC-targeting ICIs.

Immunodepression can be required for entomopathogenic bacteria to induce their potent pathogenicities to the target insects. Here, we raise a hypothesis that the capacity of a pathogenic bacterium to induce the target insect immunodepression has positive relationship with the degree of pathogenicity. X. nematophilus had 1,200 times as potent as another entomopathogenic bacterium, Staphylococcus gallinarum against the fifth instar larvae of silkworm, Bombyx mori, when they were Injected into the hemocoel. Although both bacteria had significant cytotokic effect on the hemocytes of B. mori, X. nematophilus gave faster and greater cytotoxicity than did S. gallinarum. In cellular immune reactions, B. mori could form 20 hemocyte nodules against the bacterial injection with 5${\times}$10$\^$5/ cells. The number of the hemocyte nodules was significantly depressed when live X. nematophilus was inject-ed, but not in S. gallinarum. Activation of prophenoloxidase (proPO) was depressed in the bacterial injection. The depression of PO activation was significantly greater in X. nematophilus infection than in S. gallinarum injection. Lysozyme activity was induced by the injection of S. gallinarum at 4 h after the treatment, but not induced in X. nematophilus at all the time. These results showed that X. nemato-philus induced greater immunodepression against B. mori and resulted in higher pathogenicity than did S. gallinarum. Therefore, this study suggests that the immunodepression induced by entomopathogenic bacteria has positive relationship with their pathogenicity.

Some eels Anguilla japonica, ranging from 16 to 23 g in their weight(average: 20 g), were sampled at the private eel farming company equipped with water recycling system, located at Kimhae city, Kyungnam Province, Korea. Three kinds of vaccine were prepared with Vibrio anguillarum (EPM-8406) isolated at National Fisheries University in Korea for the immune response experiment against eels; those vaccines were made by inactivating the strain with $0.3\%$ formalin for 24 hrs at $25^{\circ}C$, heating for 3 mins or for 15 mins at $121^{\circ}C$, respectively. The various optimal vaccination conditions for the control of vibriosis in the fish were investigated based on the cultivation temperature, vaccination concentration and booster effect. The maximum titer rapidly increased with higher temperature up to $23^{\circ}C$, but there were little differences between $23^{\circ}C\;and\;28^{\circ}C$. The formalin-killed vaccine showed good efficacy at the injection concentration of above $10^8$ cells per fish and little effect at the below $10^7$ cells. The booster effect on the vaccination showed good efficacy above twice-injections with little difference between the numbers of injection.

In this paper, we propose temperature inference system for indoor and outdoor temperature of the Air-Conditioner with limited sensors. The proposed system based on the network theory of biological immune system consists of indoor and outdoor temperature inference process. It is designed that on-line temperature inference is possible. This system is admirable for unlearned data as well as given input data by making efficient use of previous information.

In this paper, we propose a method of cooperative control (T-cell modeling) and selection of group behavior strategy (B-cell modeling) based on immune system in distributed autonomous robotic system (DARS). Immune system is living body's self-protection and self-maintenance system. These features can be applied to decision making of optimal swarm behavior in dynamically changing environment. For applying immune system to DARS, a robot is regarded as a ？3-cell, each environmental condition as an antigen, a behavior strategy as an antibody and control parameter as a T-cell respectively. When the environmental condition (antigen) changes, a robot selects an appropriate behavior strategy (antibody). And its behavior strategy is stimulated and suppressed by other robot using communication (immune network). Finally much stimulated strateby is adopted as a swarm behavior strategy. This control scheme is based on clonal selection and immune network hypothesis, and it is used for decision making of optimal swarm strategy. Adaptation ability of robot is enhanced by adding T-cell model as a control parameter in dynamic environments.
