An anion exchange chromatography was employed for the purification of mouse monoclonal antibodies from ascitic fluid and in vitro cultivation media. After cultivation of hybridomas, Alps 25-3, HCGK, A4W, and KW, producing IgG1, the culture supernatants were harvested by centrifugation, precipitated with 50-60％ ammonium sulfate, and dialyzed against 0.025 M Tris-HCI buffer (pH 8.2). Then the dialyzed samples were loaded into a DEAE-Trisacryl M anion exchange column. Monoclonal antibodies bound to the DEAE-Trisacryl M were eluted with 0.025 M Tris-HCI buffer (pH 8.2) containing 30-40 mM NaCl. In ammonium sulfate precipitation, the recovery of the monoclonal antibody was shown to be 90％ and 84％ from in vitro culture media containing 10％ and 2％ fetal bovine serum, respectively. On the other hand, the pretreatment by ultrafiltration enhanced the yield up to 91％ whereas the purity was lower than that by ammonium sulfate treatment. Subsequently, in the DEAE-Trisacryl M chromatographic separation, the purities and recoveries of all the monoclonal antibodies from both the in vitro culture supernatants and ascitic fluids were 70-80％ and 65％ respectively. The monoclonal antibody, Alps 25-3 could be further purified with a purity of 95％ through an immunoadsorbent chromatography.

The preS2 wequence of an adr hepatitis B virus was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli as a $\beta$-galactosidase fusion polypeptide. Recombinant preS2 product interacted with the preS2-specific monoclonal antibody H8 which was induced by surface antigen particles isolated from a Korean gepatitis patient. The H8 showed only a minor cross-reactivity with recombinant preS2 product of adw2 subtype. Determination of nucleotide sequence of the adr preS2 revealed that twelve amino acid residue substitutions between adr and adw2 subtype sequences. The antigenic determinant to H8 must include some of these differences.

Eight monoclonal antibodies(MAbs) against the transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) were produced and characterized. Four of the MAbs were produced against a reference TGEV, Purdue strain(P115) and the others were produced against the Korean vaccine virus, Pyungtaek strain. Only one MAb(5C8) produced against P115 had neutralizing activity and was found to be E2 protein-specific. The other seven MAbs(4E2, 4G8, 5H6, 1F8, 2C6, 5H5, and 3A6) had specificity of nucleocapsid protein and no neutralizing activity. All MAbs reacted with different strains of TGEV, but none of the MAbs was reactive with porcine enteropathogenic viruses such as rotavirus, epidemic diarrhea virus and enterovirus by fluorescence antibody(FA) test.

A lateral flow immunoassay platform utilizing antibody functionalized water soluble CdSe/ZnS semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) was developed for the analysis of human serum amyloid A-1 (hSAA1) in a buffer solution. hSAA1 was chosen as a target protein because it is regarded as a potential biomarker associated with early diagnosis and prognosis in patients of lung cancer. The immunoassay strip on a nitrocellulose membrane was fabricated by spraying two lines composed of a test line with a monoclonal antibody against hSAA1 (10G1) (anti hSAA1) and a control line of anti-chicken IgY. While the CdSe/ZnS QDs synthesized in an organic phase were transferred to a water phase by ligand exchange using carboxylic acid modified alkane thiol. The QDs was then conjugated to monoclonal antibody against hSAA1 (14F8) [anti hSAA1 (14F8)] and used as a fluorescent detection probe. The sequential lateral flow of hSAA1 in different concentration and QDs-anti hSAA1 (14F8) complex allowed to form the surface sandwich complex of anti hSAA1 (10G1)/hSAA1/QD-anti hSAA1 (14F8), which was then analyzed using fluorescence microscope. A 100 nM concentration of hSAA1 protein can be detected by naked eyes under an optimized lateral flow buffer condition with a sensing time of 5 mins.

Distribution of the antigens during the cell cycle of amoebae was followed by immunof-luorescence microscopy using a monoclonal antibody against the nucleus as a probe. While the cells were in the interphase, the antigen was localized on the nucleus membrane. But it was dispersed all over the cytoplasm during mitosis and cytokinesis. The molecular weights of the immunoreacted antigens were 210 KD and 190 KD as determined by SDS PAGE and western blotting of the purified nuclei. The antigens were not soluble in non-ionic detergent, but were released from the nucleus by incubation with 0.05 M sodium carbonate, pH 10.6 or with 8 M urea at serial chemical extraction. Thus the antigens appeared to be peripheral proteins of the nurBeus envelope. The isoelectic point of both antigens was 7.64 as determined by 2 D PAGE and transfer blotting. Considering the peiipherd association with the nucleus membrane and the dispersed distribution during mitosis, the antigens could be lamin like proteins. Hourever, it appears also possible that they are the component molecules of the unusually structured aurous lamina of amoeba nucleus since they have the large molecular weight and the basic pl.

In order to develop sensitive and sepcific assay methods for E. coli heat labile enterotoxin(LT) hybridoma cell lines secreting LT specific monoclonal antibody were obtained. LT was purified from cell lysate of E. coli O15H11. The steps included disruption of bacteria by French pressure, DEAE Sephacel ion exchange chromatography, Sephadex G200 gel filtration, and second DEAE Sephacel ion exchange chromatography, successively. Spleen cells from Balb/c mice immunized with the purified LT and $HGPRT^{(-)}$ plasmacytomas, $P3{\times}63Ag8.V653$ were mixed and fused by 50% (w/v) PEG. Hybrid cells were grown in 308 wells out of 360 wells, and 13 wells out of them secreted antibodies reacting to LT. Among these hybridoma cell 1G8-1D1 cell line was selected since it had produced high-titered monoclonal antibody continuously. By using culture supernatant and ascites from 1G8-1D1 cells the monoclonal antibody was characterized, and an assay system for detecting enterotoxigenic E. coli was established by double sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The following results were obtained. 1. Antibody titers of culture supernatant and ascites from 1G8-1D1 hybridoma cells were 512, and 102, 400, respectively by GM1-ELISA and its immunoglobulin class was IgM. 2. The maximum absorption ratio of 1G8-1D1 cell culture supernatant to LT was 90% at $300\;{\mu}g/ml$ of LT concentration. LT concentration shown at 50% absorption ratio was $103.45{\mu}g$ and the absorption ratio was decreased with tile reduction of LT concentration. This result suggests that monoclonal antibody from 1G8-1D1 hybridoma cell bound with LT specifically. 3. The reactivities of 1G8-1D1 cell culture supernatant to LT and V. cholerae enterotoxin(CT) were 0.886 and 0.142(O.D. at 492nm) measured by the GM1-ELISA, indicating 1G8-1D1 monoclonal antibody reacted specifically with LT but not with CT. 4. The addition of 0.1ml of ascites to 0.6mg and 0.12mg of LT decreased the vascular permeability factor to 41% and 44% respectively, but it did not completely neutralize LT. 5. By double sandwich ELISA using monoclonal antibody, as little as 75ng of the purified LT per ml could be detected. 6. The results by assay of detecting LT in culture supernatants of 14 wild strains E. coli isolated from diarrhea patients by the double sandwich ELISA were almost the same level as those by reverse passive latex agglutination.

Seven monoclonal antibodies were produced by fusing splenocytes from Balb/C mouse immunized with partially purified human interferon-a (HUIFN-a) with NSO plasmacytoma cells. aery were identified as five IgG class (432.22: IgG2b/n, 460.52: IgG2b/a , 548.46: IgG2a/n , 573.10: IgG2b/h , 625.12: IgG2b/n ), one IgA class (460.50: IgA/n ) and one IsM class (465.27: IgA/n ), and all of them revealed highly sensitive to HUIFN- a IgG class monoclonal antibodies have pts ranged from 8.2 to 8.6. Ascites fluids produced from primed Balb/c mice and were purified through column chromatography. The cytopathic effect (CPE) inhibition assay to examine neutralization of HuIFU-a by IgG class monoclonal antibodies, gave that MAbs 460.52, 548.46, 573.10 can neutralize HUIFU- a arith varying degrees except 432.22. Therefore, it is deduced that these various monoclonal antibodies may recognize the distinct epitopes on HUIFN-a.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is the etiological agent of PRRS characterized by reproductive losses in sows and respiratory disorders in piglets. The PRRSV is a small enveloped virus containing a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome and divided into two genotype, type 1 (European) and type 2 (North American), respectively, by nucleotide identity. In this study, ORF7 gene of the type 1 and type 2 PRRSV was cloned and expressed in Baculovirus expression system. Also, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against ORF7 were produced and characterized. The expressed ORF7 proteins in the recombinant virus were confirmed by indirect fluorescence antibody (IFA) test using His6 and PRRSV-specific antiserum. A total of eight MAbs were produced and characterized. One (3G12) MAb was type 1 PRRSV ORF7-specific and two (6B10 and 16H8) were type 2 PRRSV ORF7-specific. Other five (1A1, 2A4, 4B4, 12C4 and 13F11) MAbs reacted with both type 1 and type 2 PRRSV. Some PRRSV ORF7-specific MAbs recognized the porcine tissues infected with PRRSV by IFA or immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay. From this experiment, it was confirmed that MAbs produced in this study were PRRSV ORF7-specific and could be used as reliable reagents for type 1/type 2 PRRSV detection.

We developed and subsequently characterized mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against recombinant VP28 structural protein (rVP28) of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). We established six hybridoma clones secreting MAbs against rVP28: 15A11, 20G6, 31H2, 34H6, 38D1 and 43A1. All six MAbs recognized the 25 kDa of protein in gill homogenates of WSSV-infected shrimp by western blot analysis, while no reactivity was observed in gill homogenates of normal shrimp. Moreover, high enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) optical density (OD) values (0.8-2.68) were observed in the hemolymphs from WSSV-infected shrimp, while low OD values (less than 0.24) were recorded in the hemolymphs from normal shrimp, by using these six MAbs produced in this study. These results suggest that these six MAbs are useful for the detection of WSSV.

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.
