Influenza, which is a highly contagious disease caused by the influenza A virus, continues to be a major health concern worldwide. Although the accurate and early diagnosis of influenza virus infection is important for controlling the spread of this disease and rapidly initiating antiviral therapy, the current influenza diagnostic kits are limited by their low sensitivity. In this study, we developed several new influenza nucleoprotein (NP)-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and compared their sensitivity and specificity of those with commercially available anti-NP mAbs. Three mAbs, designated M24.11, M34.3, and M34.33, exhibited higher reactivities to recombinant NPs and A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 (H1N1) viral lysates compared with the commercial mAbs, as assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. M34.3 and M34.33 showed higher reactivities with A/California/04/09 (pandemic H1N1) and A/Philippines/2/82 (H3N2) viral lysates than the commercial mAbs. In contrast, M24.11 had marked reactivity with H3N2 but not with pandemic H1N1. Immunofluorescent confocal microscopy showed that the three mAbs effectively detected the presence of influenza virus in lung tissues of mice infected with A/Puerto Rico/8/1934. These results indicate that the newly developed M34.3 and M34.33 mAbs could be useful for the development of influenza diagnostics.

Monoclonal antibodies(MAbs) against field isolates of the bovine rotavirus A strain(G6), V strain(G10) and reference I-801 strain(G8) were produced and characterized. Six MAbs(4C2, 4D9, 5E1, 5E7, 5D5, 3E4) against A strain had neutralizing activity and reacted only with the G6 bovine rotaviruses determined by fluorescence focus neutralization (FFN) test. Otherwise, five neutralizing MAbs(1G2, 2G6, 5E2, 5E12, 5H7) against I-801 strain neutralized the G6 and G8 bovine rotaviruses. Five non-neutralizing MAbs(5F12, 7F12, 5E11, 2A11, 2B12) were VP6-specific and cross-reacted with all bovine and porcine rotaviruses examined by fluorescence antibody(FA) test. None of the MAbs reacted with bovie viral diarrhea virus(BVDV) and bovine coronavirus(BCV) determined by FA and FFN test.

Immunoglobulin M (IgM) was purified from olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus sera using mannan-binding protein (MBP) and protein L affinity columns (designated as MBPIgM and ProLIgM, respectively). A monoclonal antibody (MAb) against olive flounder IgM was produced. The MBPIgM and ProLIgM had apparent molecular weights of 77, 73, and 28 kDa in SDS-PAGE. Nine hybridomas secreting MAbs against olive flounder IgM were established: five MAbs for MBPIgM (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) and four for ProLIgM (6, 7, 8, and 9). Western blotting indicated that seven MAbs recognized heavy (H; MAbs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7) chains and one recognized light (L; MAb 9) chains of IgM, while MAb 8 did not recognize IgM. The results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with bovine serum albumin (BSA, antigen) and the nine MAbs revealed that the optical density (OD) values of sera differed significantly between BSA- and non-immunized fish, despite some sera from non-immunized fish with slight high OD values. These results suggest that the MAbs produced in this study reacted specifically with the IgM from olive flounder.

A self-assembled monolayer of protein G was fabricated to develop an immunosensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR), thereby improving the performance of the antibodybased biosensor through immobilizing the antibody molecules (lgG). As such, 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA) was adsorbed on a gold (Au) support, while the non-reactive hydrophilic surface was changed through substituting the carboxylic acid group (-COOH) in the 11-MUA molecule using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrocholide (EDAC). The formation of the self-assembled protein G layer on the Au substrate and binding of the antibody and antigen were investigated using SPR spectroscopy, while the surface topographies of the fabricated thin films were analyzed using atomic force microscopy (AFM). A fabricated monoclonal antibody (Mab) layer was applied for detecting E. coli O157:H7. As a result, a linear relationship was achieved between the pathogen concentration and the SPR angle shift, plus the detection limit was enhanced up to 10$^2$ CFU/mL.

Canine trypsin-like immunoreactivity (cTLI), which is a mirror of the concentration of trypsin and trypsinogen, is a pancreas-specific enzyme and a suitable marker for canine pancreatitis and especially exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). To develop the immunochromatographic test kit, monoclonal antibodies that recognize cTLI were prepared. Anionic trypsin, cationic trypsin, and chymotrypsin from canine pancreas were successfully purified to homogeneity, using ammonium sulfate fractionation and benzamidine-affinity chromatography. The purification fold for anionic trypsin was 108 times when compared with that of the homogenation of pancreas. The molecular weights by SDS-PAGE analysis were approximately 23 kDa for chymotrypsin and approximately 20 kDa for cationic trypsin and anionic trypsin, respectively. Using the purified trypsin-like proteins, ten hybridomas which secret canine trypsin-specific monoclonal antibody were prepared. Klotz plot indicated that hybridomas, 5G2H10G4 and 2F4A11, have high affinity constant (Ka) of $4.1\;{\times}\;10^{9}$ and $1.8\;{\times}\;10^{9}$, respectively. Especially, 5F9H3 showed the cationic typsin-specific binding pattern and its Ka was determined to $4.5\;{\times}\;10^{9}$. The development of immunochromatographic test kit using these monoclonal antibodies against cTLI will be very useful in the diagnosis of canine EPI or canine pancreatitis.

Interleukin (IL)-32 is a recently identified proinflammatory cytokine that is one of the IL-18 inducible genes, and plays an important role in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. We produced antibodies against IL-32 and studied the expression of IL-32 in human stomach cancer. We detected IL-32 secreted from K-562 cells which were stably transfected with IL-32 and in the sera of stomach cancer patients by a sandwich ELISA using a monoclonal antibody KU32-52 and a polyclonal antibody. In order to optimize a sandwich immunoassay, recombinant IL-32a was added, followed by the addition of a biotinylated KU32-52 into microtiter plate wells precoated with a goat anti-IL-32 antibody. The bound biotinylated KU32-52 was probed with a streptavidin conjugated to HRP. This sandwich ELISA was highly specific and had a minimal detection limit of 80 pg/ml (mean${\pm}$SD of zero calibrator) and measuring up to 3,000 pg/ml. This ELISA showed no cross-reaction with other cytokines such as hIL-1$\alpha$, hIL-1$\beta$, hIL-2, hIL-6, hIL-8, hIL-10, hIL-18, and hTNF-$\alpha$. Intra-assay coefficients of variation were 18.5% to 4.6% (n=10), and inter-assay coefficients were 23% to 9% (n=10). The average IL-32 level in the sera of 16 stomach cancer patients (189 pg/ml) was higher than that of 12 healthy control men (109 pg/ml). Our results indicate that serum IL-32 level can be detected by using an established ELISA, and that this immunoassay and mAb KU32-09 specific for immunohistochemistry can be used in the detection of expressed and secreted IL-32 in stomach cancer patients.

본 연구에서는 최근 식품이나 농축산물 등에서 빈번하게 검출되고 있는 장관출혈성 대장균인 E. coli O157:H7에 대한 단크론성 항체를 생산하고, 신속 정확하게 검색할 수 있는 간접효소면역분석법을 개발한 후 시료적용가능성을 확인하였다. 먼저 LPS, HKEC 및 FKEC를 E. coli O157:H7의 면역원으로 준비하여 mouse 면역에 사용하였고, 세포융합과 cloning을 실시하여 단클론성 항체를 생산하였으며, 생산된 항체 중 높은 역가를 나타낸 HKEC 4G8-5 항체로 ID-ELISA법을 개발하였다. 개발된 IDELISA법의 최저검출한계는 $10^5\;cell/mL$이었고, S. aureus와 Sal. Typhimurium에 대해서 약간의 반응성을 나타내었지만 E. coli O157:H7에 대해 보다 강한 반응성을 나타내었기 때문에 E. coli O157:H7에 매우 특이적인 분석법인 것으로 확인되었다. 개발된 ID-ELISA법을 이용하여 돼지고기, 소고기, 닭고기 및 새싹채소에 대한 검출률 향상을 위해 각 시료를 증균한 결과, 3종의 육류와 새싹채소는 각각 증균 6시간과 2시간부터 검출이 가능한 것으로 나타나 기존의 증균법보다 신속하게 시료 속 E. coli O157:H7을 분석할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 IDELISA법을 적용하여 농축산물 중에 존재하는 E. coli O157:H7을 분석한다면 보다 신속하고 간편하게 분석할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The mammary gland contains a subpopulation of epithelial cells with large proliferative potentials which are the likely targets for carcinogens. These clonogenic cells can proliferate and differentiate into functional glandular structures. Rat mammary epithelial cells (RMEC) were isolated and characterized in vitro. By flow cytometry of RMEC stained with fluorescein isothiocyanate-peanut agglutinin(PNA) and phycoerythrin anti-Thy-1.1 monoclonal antibody, it was possible to four cell subpopulations from 7-8 week old F344 female rat mammary glands: cells negative to both reagents (B-), PNA-positive cells (PNA+), Thy-1.1-positive cells (Thy-1.1+), and cells positive to both reagents (B+). When single PNA+ cells were isolated and cultured in Matrigel with irradiated (∼50 Gray) 3T3 fibroblast feeder layer, they gave rise to multicellular clonal structures of three types: alveolar, foamy alveolar, and squamous colonies. The developed structures were similar to the mammary glands in vivo. These results suggest that some of PNA+ cells possesses many of the characteristics of multipotent clonogenic stem-like cells.

Purpose: Human saliva, as a vital part of the immune defense system, contains a number of distinct proteins and peptides. Recently human common salivary protein 1 (CSP1) has been identified as an abundant salivary protein and may play a role in promoting the binding of cariogenic bacteria to salivary pellicles. However, nothing else is known regarding the role of CSP1 in periodontology. The aim of this study was to quantify and compare CSP1 levels between healthy subjects and periodontal patients. Methods: This controlled clinical study was conducted in periodontally healthy individuals and patients with chronic periodontitis Chonbuk National University Hospital, with Institutional Review Board approval. Whole saliva samples were collected from 36 healthy subjects and 33 chronic periodontitis patients and analyzed. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immune blotting were conducted to ensure that anti-CSP1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) binds to CSP1 in human saliva. A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system was house-fabricated using mAb-hCSP1#14 and mAb-hCSP1#4 as a capture and a detector mAb, respectively. The CSP1 concentrations in saliva from 36 healthy subjects and 33 periodontal patients were quantified using the CSP1 sandwich ELISA system, and the results were analyzed using the Student's t-test. Results: Immunoblot analysis using mAb-hCSP1 as a probe confirmed that CSP1 in human saliva existed as a single band with a molecular weight of approximately 27-kDa. The quantification of CSP1 concentrations by CSP1 ELISA showed that the median values (25th to 75th percentiles) of periodontal patients and healthy subjects were 9,474 ng/mL (range, 8,434.10,139 ng/mL) and 8,598 ng/mL (range, 7,421.9,877 ng/mL), respectively. The Student's t-test indicated the presence of a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (P=0.024). Conclusions: The presence of a significant difference in CSP1 levels between healthy subjects and periodontal patients suggests that CSP1 may be a potential biomarker for the detection or screening of periodontitis patients.
