In February of 1990, an epizootic disease to masu salmon. Onchorynchus masou cultured at the hatchery of trout in Samchuk. Kwangwondo have broken out and induced heavy mortality. An infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus(IHNV) was isolated from diseased masu salmon fry by the use of fish cell line, CHSE-214. This IHNV isolated from masu salmon was compared with USA isolates of IHNV, SRCV and RB-76 by analysis of virion proteins in sodium dodecyl sulfate poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and neutralization tests with two monoclonal antibodies raised against SRCV(MAb SRCV/A4) and RB-76(MAb RB/B5). In the antigenicity and the size of structural proteins. this IHNV, SCS atrain was smilar to RB-76 belonged to the electropherotype I proposed by Hsu et al.(1986).

한우 난소의 황체는 다양한 세포들로 구성되어 있으며 난소의 생식기능유지와 임신유지에 중요한 인자가 복잡하게 관련되어 있으며 이들 황체에서 분비하는 단백질은 황체기능에 필수적으로 중요한 작용을 한다. 본 연구는 난소의 황체일령에 따른 단백질 분비 패턴을 조사함으로써 황체세포의 기능과 임신 유지에 관련되는 인자들을 조사하기 위하여 수행하였다. 한우에서 채취한 난소에서 황체를 분리, 황체시기별(전기, 중기, 말기)로 구분하여 cytosol을 분리 정제하였다. 황체시기별로 분리된 황체 단백질의 성분을 분석하기 위해 ion-exchange chromatography를 이용하여 단백질 패턴을 조사, 추출된 fraction을 단백질 정량후 SDS-PAGE를 실시하였다. 그 결과 중기에서의 단백질의 농도가 가장 높았으며, 특히 단백질 패턴 또한 다른 양상을 보였다. 시기별로 구분한 각각의 fraction을 SDS-PAGE로 조사했을 때 중기와 말기황체 cytosol의 fraction 3번과 4번에서 다른 양상을 보였으며 SDS-PAGE에서 120kb, 95kb, 34kb, 25kb 등의 단백질 밴드를 확인할 수 있었다. 초, 중기황체에서만 특이하게 검출되는 단백질 band를 확인할 수 있었으며 이 들 단백질을 구체적으로 확인하기 위하여 Two-Dimensional electrophoresis를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 시기별로 분리된 황체를 일반적인 IEF단백질 분리법으로 cytosol을 회수한 후 IPG-system을 이용하여 1차원 전기영동을 한 후, SDS-PAGE로 이차원 전기영동을 실시하였다. 이차원 전기영동 결과, SDS-PAGE의 결과와 비슷한 위치에 부분적으로 다른 spot의 양상을 보였다. 특히 기능황체에서의 특이적 발현 spot을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들로부터 황체의 progesterone분비기능의 역할을 수행하기 위한 단백질들이 전, 중기에 발현된다는 것을 알 수 있고 퇴행황체에서는 발현이 안되고 있는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 다른 양상을 띤 spot을 분리하여 어떤 단백질인지를 분석하여 각각의 황체단백질의 특성을 규명할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

$L-Triiodothyronine(T_3)$ binding to purified plasma membrane and to isolated nuclei from the same liver in obese(ob/ob) mice and their lean littermates was examined. The maximal binding capacity(Bmax) for $T_3$ receptor of liver nuclei, as compared to lean control, was significantly lower in the obese mouse$(obese 527{\pm}80fmol/mg\;DNA ; lean 883{\pm}62fmol/mg\;DNA)$, without an apparent difference in dissociation constant(Kd). The finding that obese mice have fewer liver nuclear $T_3$ receptors confirms previous reports. The Bmax and Kd of liver plasma membrane $T_3$ receptor were not significantly different between obese and lean mouse, which suggests no defect to be occurring in the function of the plasma membrane $T_3$ receptor and reinforces the view that the peripherally impaired thyroid hormone action in obese mice is a post plasma membrane receptor event. These results further support the hypothesis that the major defect of the thyroid hormone metabolism in genetic obesity occurs at the level of the nuclear receptor.

본 실험에서는 동양에서 예로부터 민간요법이나 한방에서 주로 많이 쓰여지고 있는 8가지 종류의 한약재에 대해서 면역억제제로써 사용 가능성을 실험하였다. 그 결과, 당귀, 산사, 어성초, 오가피, 황기의 추출물은 동종항원에 반응하는 순수분리 T 세포의 증식을 농도 의존적으로 억제 시켰다. 또한 이들 T 세포의증식에 있어써 필수적인 IL-2를 포함한 cytokine 즉, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IFN-${\gamma}$ 의 생산량은 대조군에 비해 실험군에서 유의한 차이가 없었고 특히 T 세포 증식에 필수적인 IL-2의 생산량의 변화가 거의 없었다. 이는 한약재에 의한 T 세포증식에 필수적인 IL-2의 생산량을 억제하기 때문에 일어나는 결과가 아님을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 T 세포의 살세포작용 억제를 직접적으로 측정하기 위하여 세포내 LDH의 양을 조사한 결과 모든 대조군에서 50%이상의 살세포작용 억제가 일어났고, 그 중 특히 오가피와 황기에서는 100% 살세포작용 억제가 일어났다. 따라서 본 실험에서 사용되 당귀, 산사, 어성초, 오가피, 황기 등의 5가기 약재가 부작용 없는 면역억제로써 사용 가능성이 높은 것으로 생각된다.

An autolytic system based on a thermally inducible phage lambda, λHL1, has been applied for the recovery of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [PHB] from a recombinant Escherichia coli XL1-Blue, harbouring a plasmid (pSYL105) containing the Alcaligenes eutrophus PHB biosynthesis genes. The lytic capability ofλHL1 was evaluated in flask culture for both lysogens, XL1-Blue (λHL1) and XL1-Blue (λHL1, pSYL105). When the optical density of culture at 600nm(OD600) reached 0.2, cell lysis was induced by increasing the temperature from $30^{\circ}C$ to $42^{\circ}C$. Most cells of XL1-Blue ($\lambda$HL1) were lysed by the autolytic system in an hour after the thermal induction, while the lytic efficiency was slightly lower for XLl-Blue (λHL1, pSYL105). The existence of pSYL105 in cells seemed to inhibit, to some extent, the lytic capability of λHL1 even at low PHB content. The lylic efficiency remarkably decreased as the induction was delayed to allow PHB accumulation. When a chemical induction using 2% (v/v) chloroform was introduced after an hours of thermal induction, we could obtain a good lytic efficiency.

In March 1997, a new rhabdovirus was isolated from moribund cultured Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus in sea water tank and cage culture systems in Kyung-Nam and Chun-Nam province, Korea. At temperature $15^{\circ}C$ the virus replicated and induced cytopathic effects (CPE), which progressed to eventual cytolysis, in susceptible cell lines, including RTG-2 and EPC. The CHES-214 cell line was refractory. Virus particles were bullet-shaped and measured $70nm{\times}100$ to 150 nm in size. The isolate was sensitive to pH 3, to diethyl ether, and to heat ($50^{\circ}C$ 5 min, $60^{\circ}C$ 1 min). Viral replication was not inhibited by $10^{-4}$ M 5-iododeoxyuridine. Virus infectivity was reduced by anti-HRV (8401-H) rabbit serum, but can not reduced by antisera against infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), chum salmon reovirus (CSV), retrovirus of salmonid (RVS) and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). HRV virus antigen was detected by fluorescent antibody test (FAT) in the cytoplasm of infected EPC cell. Purified isolates virions were composed of: polymerase (L), glycoprotein (G), nucleoprotein (N) and 2 matrix proteins (M1 and M2). Based upon their relative mobilities, the estimated molecular weights of the proteins were: L, 160 kDa; G, 55 kDa; N, 45 kDa; M1, 26 kDa; and M2, 22 kDa.

Pituitary adenyl ate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) was originally isolated from the ovine hypothalamus and stimulated cAMP production in anterior pituitary cells. It is known that PACAP stimulates cAMP accumulation and contributes to the spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis in rat testis. The principal aim of this study is to determinate the distribution of PACAP mRNA and protein in adult rat testis. For this study, we used in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry techniques in adult rat testis. PACAP mRNA was stage specifically expressed in seminiferous tubules. Positive signals of PACAP mRNA were detected in the developing germ cells at stages HI-VII of the epithelial cycle. The strongest signals of PACAP mRNA and protein were detected in round spermatids at stages V to early VII of the cycle. These results demonstrate that PACAP which is synthesised in the developing germ cells contributes to the spermatogenesis in rat testis. Thus, we suggest that PACAP plays a critical role in the function of testis.

To assess the feasibility of anthocyanin production in cell cultures of Euphorbia splendens Bojer the role of sucrose in pigment production was investigated and pilot scale cultures were attempted to establish mass production system. And also, several instrumental analyses were conducted to identify the pigment extracted from cultured rolls. Anthocyanin production was promoted prominently with concenetrations of sucrose ranging from 3% to 9% while cell growth was maximized at 3% of sucrose . This suggested that high osmolarity of sucrose enhance pigment production. When cells were cultured in two types of bioreactor better cell growth was achieved with draft-type air lift bioreactor than impeller type bioreactor and the pigment productivity was reached to 2.2 mg/L/day. The major pigment extracted from cultured cells was characterized as cyanidin-3-glucoside.

This study was carried out to investigate the morphological changes of gonadotropes in pituitary gland and spermatogenic cells in testis, obtained from 150 of 3-year-old immature and mature male rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during the reproductive cycles from March to February in the following year. In the maturation cycle of the pituitary gonadotropes of cultured rainbow trout, three periods can be distinguished i.e. a period of resting(March-August), a period of full spermatogenesis (September-November), and a period of breeding (December-February). The ultrastructures of the gonadotropes largely parallel the cyclical changes in the tests. The seminiferous tubules contain all spermatogenetic stages and sperm cells in a period of early maturation. At first, the size of the nucleus and cytoplasm decrease gradually at every stages from spermatogonia to spermatids. In the secondary spermatocytes, the small mitochondria are located over the outer cytoplam. In spermatids, the cytoplasmic masses move toward the posterior part of the nucleus. In spermatids, the two large mitochondria are located over the cytoplasm. In spermatids, the cytoplasmic masses move towark the posterior part of the nucleus. In spermatids, the two large mitochondria are located over the cytoplasm and begin to elongate. In spermatozoa, the surface of the nucleus devreases in volume. Examination by TEM shows that the nuclear envelope and plasma membrane are slightlywrinkled and closely adhered to the nucleus of spermatozoa. Two oval mitochondria are quite separated and the flagellum is inserted into the base of the spermatozoa head.The axoneme in this fish has the typical pattern such as nine peripheral doublets and a central doublet(9+2). there are remarkable individual differences in the size and morphology of spermatozoa head as observed by transmission and scanning electron microscopy.
