Immunoblot analysis utilizing bovine sera from naturally or experimentally infected with Theileria sergenti were used to determine the immunodominant polypeptides of T sergenti (Korean isolated. The previously recognized major bands, 18 kDa,29 kDa, 34 kDa and 45 kDa, were excised after electrophoresis and transfer to PnF membrane. The individual bands were sequenced. The 34 kDa polypeptide which was the most antigenic and immunogenic peptide was observed in the Western blot. However, Chou-Fasman prediction sites (antigenic site) for antigen determinants of the 45 kDa, 34 kDa, 29 kDa and 18 kDa polypeptide were 6, 4, 2 and 0, respectively. However, the 45 kDa polypetide showed no reaction with anti- T sergenti hyperimmune serum.

It was found that the diapause in the silkworm egg is induced by the action of the diapause hormone secreted from the suboesophageal ganglion, and "esterase A" affects protein metabolism in oocyte and egg. In this connection, some changes in protein metabolism of silkworm egg according to embryonic developments could give some information on the diapause, using Ouchterlony Test. Antigenicity of the protein of silkworm egg was detected through antigen-antibody interaction among the extracts of rabbit blood. Furthermore, existence of the specific antigen was also detected according to embryonic development, using the adsorption test. The results were obtained as follows: 1 Detection of antigenicity The antigenicity of silkworm egg was ascertained by inoculating it into a rabbit, but positive results were shown in most of the silkworm eggs tested, whereas the antibody specific to a certain antigen was not detected. 2. Detection of the common antigen It was demonstrated that most of the antigen could incite the common antibodies, but the specific antibody formation was not detected in a few antigens, even though the nonspecific antibody formation was displayed. 3. Detection of the specific antigen It is suggested that there are the specific antigens detectable in each treated eggs by the adsorption test.

The changes in antigenicity during cultivation of streptomycetes were determined by immunodiffusion assay and indirect ELISA. New precipitin lines in immunodiffusion assay began to appear in the growth period of the soluble pigment production and became thickened thereafter. The increase in the antigenicity was also confirmed by ELISA. The antigenic development was relatively weak for S. lavendulae and S. viridochromogenes while that was strong for S. lavendulae and S. viridochromogenes. The results indicated that Streptomyces strains, even though not proved for some strains, changed the compositions of cell envelope during submerged growth and this could be estimated quantitatively by serological method.

A DNA sequence encoding the adr subtype preS2 region of hepatitis B virus envelope protein was fused to 5' end of lacZ gene yielding a plasmid pTSZ, in order to produce a preS2-$\beta$-galactosidase fusion protein. Serial deletions from 3' and 5' end of preS2 were constructed in plasmids, which were expressed and their antigenicities were examined with the monoclonal antibody H8. Deletions from amino and carboxy terminal to certain points did not affect the antigenicity, but the longer deletions destroyed the antigenicity. End points of deleted preS2 sequence were determined by DNA sequencing. As a result, each end of preS2 epitope was located in the region of amino acid residue 130-132 and 140-142, respectively. Residue 143 may be supplementary for antigenic epitope since the deletion from carboxy terminal to residue 143 revealed partial defect of antigenicity. In the interval of antigenic epitope the amino acid differences between adr and adw2 subtype occurred ar residue 130, 132, and 141. This result indicated that one or more of the three residues are responsible for the binding specificity of monoclonal antibody H8 to adr subtype preS2 fusion protein.

The quality improvement of antigen (crude saline extract) of Spirometra maptscni 1)lerocercoid (sparganum) was investigated by protein purificatioll. The crude extract was fractionated by gel filtration through Sephacryl S-300 Superfine. Its third fraction was purified by affinity chromatography using a monoclonal antibody as ligand. When observed by SDS-PAGE, the purified protein was composed of 2 bands of 36 kDa and 29 kDa which were found already as the most sensitive components in the crude extract by immunoblots with patients sera. The quality of the purified antigen was evaluated in comparison with the crude extract by ensyme-linked imnunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the specific (IgG) antibody in sera of human sparganosis, other parasitic and neurologic diseases, and normal control. When the purified antigen was used: the sensitivity was not altered but remained high (96.4%) while the specificity was increased from 86.8% to 96.9%.

Enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot (EITB) using crude worm antigen of adult Paragonimus westermani was performed for human patients sera to identify the species-specific components. Crude antigen was obtained by homogenizing and centrifuging 24-week old adult worms at 10,000 rpm for 60 minutes in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, PH 7.2) containing: Phenyl methyl sulfonyl auoride (PMSF). Gradient sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) was performed and blotted electrophoretically onto a sheet of nitrocellulose paper. The sheet was cut into strips and exposed to sera diluted 1 : 200 with PBS. SDS-PAGE showed 26 protein bands ranging 229 to 10 kDa. Of them 229, 91, 60, 50, 35∼31, 27, 25, 21, 17, 11 and 10 kDa components showed positive reaction with serum antibody of patients with p. westermani. Sera of patients infected with Clcnorchis sinensis reacted with 35∼31, 19, and 11 kDa bands. Human sera from cysticercosis and diphyllobothriasis cases showed non-specific cross reactions with 229, 35∼31, 27, 25 and 17kDa bands. Protein bands of 91, 60, 21 and 10kDa showed strong positive reaction without cross reactions with sera from other helminthic infections.
