Acanthamoebn culbertsoni is a pathogenic free-living amoeba causing primary amoebic meningoencephalltls (PAME) in human and mouse. Several reports on the immune responses in mice with this amoebic infection have been published, but the effects of transferred passive Immunity on the active immunization In offspring mice have not been demonstrated. This experiment was done to observe the effect of active Acanthamoebn culbertsoni was cultured in the CGV medium axenlcally. Female BALB/c mice weighing about 20g were immunized through the intraperitoneal injection of Acanthamoeba cuLbensoni trophozoites 1 × 106 each three times at the interval of one week. Offspring mice were immunized two times. The mice were inoculated Intranasally with 1 × 104 trophozoites under secobarbital anesthesia. There was a statistical difference in mortality between the transferred immunity group and the active immunization group. Statistical differences were not demonstrated in antibody titer between both groups. But L3T4+ T ce11/Ly2+T cell ratio was increased in the transferred Immunity group more than active immunization group of the offspring mice at the age of 5 weeks. There was no differences statistically in mortality between both groups. It was recognized that active immunization in offspring mice born to immune mother could modulate the immune status according to the time of Immunization.

Shiga-like toxin-II(SLT-II)-producing Escherichia coli 0157 : H7 strain B2387이 분비하는 SLT-II가 gnotobiotic자돈에서의 뇌혈관 병변을 일으키는 pathogenesis에 관해서 실험을 했다. 제왕절개 수술로 태어난 자돈들을 두 그룹으로 나누어서, 한 그룹에는 SLT-II 중화항체를 포함한 혈청을 구강을 통해서 수동면역을 시키고, 또다른 한 그룹에는 SLT-II 중화항체가 포함되어 있지 않은 혈청을 구강을 통해서 수동면역시켰다. 24시간후 두 그룹 모두에게 SLT-II producing Escherichia coli O157 : H7 strain B2387를 구강으로 접종했다. SLT-II 중화항체가 포함되어 있지 않은 혈청으로 수동면역시킨 그룹의 자돈들은 설사와 맹결장염, 신경증상, 뇌혈관병변을 일으키고, plasma의 prostacyclin의 level이 증가했다. 하지만 SLT-II 중화항체가 포함되어 있는 혈청으로 수동면역시킨 그룹의 자돈들은 설사와 맹결장염은 유발했지만, 신경증상과 뇌혈관병변은 관찰되지 않았고, prostacyclin의 level도 증가하지 않았다. 이런 실험결과는 SLT-II 중화항체는 뇌혈관병변은 방어하지만 맹결장염은 방어하지 못한다는 의미를 나타내며, prostacylin의 증가는 뇌혈관의 endothelium의 병변을 의미한다.

The current study is the first paper on FPT(failure of passive transfer) of horse population in Korea. The object of this study was to comparison of immune status normal and patient horses. Failure of passive transfer is the most common immunodeficiency disorder of horses. Twenty-two foals and 18 horses from Jeju of the equine hospital were diagnosed with the SNAP Foal IgG Test Kit. All adult horses had normal immune functions (≥800 mg/dl). Thirteen of the 22 newborn babies (59%; ∠800 mg/dl) had a weak immune function but recovered and survived after treatment. Nine of these 22 are horses with strong immunity (≥800 mg/dl), indicating that high IgG concentrations in the blood can cause infectious diseases. There were a total of six dead, four of which were infectious diseases. In addition, early identification of infectious diseases in newborn foals is expected to help prepare systematic health management measures for the development of the disease.

본 실험은 성숙가토의 정자와 정장의 항원성을 조사하여 면역적 불임원인 규명에 필요한 기초자료를 얻고자 시도하였다. 인공질로 채취한 정액을 원심분리하여 얻은 정자와 정장을 항원으로 사용하였으며 항원성의 측정방법은 크로마토그라프에 의한 단백질 분리, SDS-PAGE, HPLC, 한천확산법, 전기영동, 수동적혈구응집방법 및 부동화시험이었다. 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. SDS-PAGE 전기영동시 정상가토 정장에서 약 23개의 단백질이 분리되었고, 그중 분자량이 약 20,000되는 단백질부분이 정관절제 수술한 정장에서 나타나지 않았다. 2. 정상가토 정장을 HPLC를 이용한 분석에서 3개의 peaks을 볼 수 있었고, 정관절제수술한 것에서는 peak 1에 해당하는 단백질이 소실되었다. 3. 한천확산시험에서 정상정장은 이종혈청과는 4개의 침강선을 나타냈고, 전기영동에서는 7개의 침강선을 나타냈다. 4. 이종면역에서 정자 및 정장은 항체가 상승이 용이하였지만, 동종면역시는 추가면역이 필요하였으며 개체간의 역가차이를 보였다. 정자면역한 자성가토에서는 수동적혈구응집반응을 나타냈지만, 한천확산 및 전기영동반응은 보이지 않았고, 같은 처치를 받은 웅성가토에서도 역시 같은 반응양상을 나타냈다. 5. 동종 및 이종항혈청을 이용한 교차전기영동방법으로 정장의 항원적 구성요소를 구별할 수 있었다. 사출된 정액에서 분리된 정장은 일부 항원을 포함하고 있었으며 이는 성숙한 정자에서 기인한 것으로 사료되었다.

The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of administration of antiserum against adipocyte plasma membrane(APM) proteins into rats on body fat mass. Twenty(20) male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into either control or antiserum treatment group(10 rats/treatment) and immunized with physiological saline(control group) and polyclonal antiserum (treatment group), respectively, raised in sheep against rat APM proteins(5times, 2day interval). All animals were killed 4weeks after last injection. Intraperitoneal(i.p.) administration of antiserum significantly(P=0.0054 and P=0.0019, respectively) reduced subcutaneous(21.9%) and perirenal + mesentric + epididymic(36.0%) adipose tissue mass in rats of treatment group. Although body weights of antiserum treated rats were decreased during immunization, the rats recovered their body weight after 1 week of treatment. There were no significant changes in the level of blood glucose and in the contents of muscle protein and fat in antiserum treated animals. Current results indicate that polyclonal antibodies against APM proteins could be used to manipulate body fat mass in meat animals as well as laboratory animals. Further studies, however, are necessary for the practical applications of the current results.

총 15두의 초유를 섭취하지 않은 신생자견을 대상으로 난황항체를 경구투여한 후 개 파보바이러스를 경구 접종하여 실험감염을 유발시켜 난황항체의 수동 면역에 의한 예방효과를 알아보고자 한다. 항체역가는 면역화된 산란계로부터 분리한 난황항체를 투여한 자견이 비면역 난황항체를 투여한 자견에 비해 높았다. 개 파보바이러스 접종 직전의 항체역가는 대조군의 경우 1:40에서 1:80, 실험군의 경우는 1:320에서 1:1280이었다. 모든 대조군의 자견들은 바이러스 접종후 4일에 임상증상을 나타내었고 총 7두중 6두가 폐사된 반면 실험군 자견은 2두만이 증상을 나타내었고 폐사 자견은 없었다(p<0.01). 개 파보바이러스를 경구 접종한 후 전체 자견의 혈구응집억제반응역가는 접종후 6일까지 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 접종후 5일의 분변내 혈구 응집반응역가는 실험군 자견의 경우 < 2에서 64였으며 대조자견은 216에서 2048로 높았다.

Immunotherapy has been used in support of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole treatment for Pneumocvstis corinii pneumonia. The present study investigated the therapeutic or preventive effects of heterogeneous hyperimmune IgG antibody (HIA) in experimental rats. Their immunity was suppressed by steroid injection, and they were also injected peritoneally with HIA which reacted with 40-55, 92, 116, and 200 kDa bands of the crude antigen. All rats were infected by p. ccrinii and the cystic forms on lung impression smears were counted. The count was 20.5-76.5 (mean 52.5 ± 19.)1 in those which received steroid only, but decreased to 6.0-21.0 (mean 13.5 : 10.6) in those of group 3 which received HIA for the same duration. In other groups, the mean count ranged from 29.9 t 32.9 to 54.1 t 47.7, and in those which received 13.7 mg HIA the reduction effect was greater than in those which received 6.8 mg or 20.5 mg HIA. The present finding confirmed that in rats during the early stage of infection, the heterogeneous HIA to MSG antigen bands had a partial effect on p. cori,nii pneumonia, both prophylactically and therapeutically.

Anti-progesterone monoclonal antibody injected intraperitonially as a single dose(100$\mu\textrm{g}$) 48hours post coitum(p.c.) almostly blocked pregnancy in ICR mice. The blocking rate of pregnancy in mice treated with antibody were decreased proportionally according to dose of antibody injected ; the rate were 60%, 57% and 17% as the antibody of 10$\mu\textrm{g}$, 50$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 100$\mu\textrm{g}$ were injected respectively. Blood serum progesterone concentration was greatly increased(21 times) after treatment(100$\mu\textrm{g}$), by virtue of high-affinity binding by antibody in circulation of non-pregnant mice in coompared with that of control group at day 10 p.c.. The concentration was about 1.6 times higher in the pregnant mice than in the non-pregnant mice in antibody treated group. In control group, the progesterone concentration was over 7 times higher in the pregnant mice than in non-pregnant mice at day 5 p.c..

The purpose of study was to determine the effectiveness of crude IgY to S. mutans in preventing the acid production and the demineralization of primary tooth enamel in vitro. The acid production by S. mutans in Todd Hewitt broth with and without 5% sucrose was inhibited by 2.5% crude IgY, and as the concentration of crude IgY increased from 2.5% to 17.5%, the pH drop of the media after incubation continued to decrease. There were high positive correlations between the concentration of crude IgY and the pH of media in the late incubation period. The inhibition rate of demineralization of primary tooth enamel by S. mutans was determined by measuring the surface microhardness after incubation in 5% sucrose Todd Hewitt broth for 12 hours. The inhibition rate was 32.28% in 2.5% IgY, 42.28% in 7.5% IgY, 64.06% in 12.5% IgY, and 92.79% in 17.5% IgY. There was high positive correlation between the concentration of crude IgY and the surface microhardness of enamel after demineralization These results suggest that it would be possible to prevent dental caries through passive immunization using crude IgY.
