Hydrolysis rate and activation energy of Antheraea pernyi silk fiber treated with HCI were examined. Thermal decomposition temperature and surface morphology were also investigated by using differential scanning calorimeter and scanning electron microscope. As the concentration of hydrochloric acid and the treatment temperature increased, the hydrolysis occurred more rapidly. The activation energy of Antheraea pernyi, 74.0 kJ/mol, was higher than that of Bombyx mori, 58.1 kJ/mol. As the concentration of hydrochloric acid increases, the activation energy of Antheraea pernyi decreased from 74.0 kJ/mol to 62.0 kJ/mol. The shape of acid-resistance fraction of Antheraea pernyi became more distroyed and was transformed from fiber to powdered form with an increase of hydrolysis rate. The thermal decomposition temperature of Antheraea pernyi was 360.8$^{\circ}C$ until the hydrolysis rate was 81.8 wt%, but ti decreased to 347.0$^{\circ}C$ when the hydrolysis rate was 93.8 wt%.

Dissolution of Antheraea pernyi silk fiber was carried out in a zinc nitrate 6 hydrate (Zn(NO$_3$)$_2$ㆍ6$H_2O$) solution with various dissolving conditions. The solubility was significantly dependent on the concentration of zinc nitrate, dissolving temperature and time. Regenerated A. pernyi silk fibroin powder was obtained through dialysis process to remove chaotropic salt. FTIR and X-ray diffractometer showed that the conformation of regenerated A. pernyi silk powder was sheet structure.

Traditional Antheraea pernyi silkworm cocoon is tawny color. The white Antheraea pernyi silkworm cocoons studied here by IR and UV are new breeds of recent breeding. We discovered that the main body of the first grade structure of silk protein in the new white is as same as the one in the traditional tawny Antheraea pernyi silkworm cocoon, yet there are small quantities of cross-linked polymer of gentisic acid and silk protein in the white silkworm cocoons. In spite of the least surviving quantity of the polymer, the white silkworm cocoons are most white and its white color is similar to white Bombyx mori silkworm cocoon.

Antheraea pernyi silkworm is a well known wild silkworm to produce a valuable silk fiber. A. pernyi silkworm was reared in Korean oak field and examined the cocoon characteristics, such as cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight, and percentage of cocoon shell weight. Degumming loss was also measured after alkali degumming process. A. pernyi silkworm spins tawny color cocoon in oval shape. Cocoon shell weight of A. pernyi silkworm, 0.78 g, was heavier than that of B. mori silkworm, 0.51 to 0.63 g. Cocoon shell percentage of A. pernyi silkworm, 32.8%, was higher than that of B. mori silkworm, 23.4 to 25.2%. Degumming loss percentage of A. pernyi silkworm, 17.1%, was lower than that of B. mori silkworm, 25.0%. SEM showed that the surface of the cocoon filament was coarse and oriented with longitudinal direction.

The storage protein-like protein has been purified from the 5th instar larval haemolymph of the Chinese osk silkwom, Antheraea pernyi, and the preparation was shown to be homogeneous by 7.5% native-PAGE. The molecule was consisted of a single subunit with a molecular weight of 80K, but the number of the subunits was not determined. The protein was defied as glycoprotein by Schiff's regent stining. Rabbit antibody prepared against the purified protein crotein crossreacted with the 5th instar larval haemolymph proteins of Antheraea pernyi and antheraea yamamai, but not with those of Bombyx mori and Bombyx mandarina.

염산 또는 수산화나트륨 수용액의 농도, 온도, 시간 등 처리조건에 따른 작잠견사의 가수분해율을 측정하였으며 산처리 작잠분말과 알칼리처리 작잠분말의 형태 및 구조특성을 주사전자현미경, 적외선 분광분석, X-선 회절분석 등의 방법으로 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 작잠견사에 대한 염산 및 수산화나트륨의 처리농도와 온도가 높을수록 또한 처리시간이 길어질수록 작잠견사의 가수분해율은 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나 고온, 고농도의 조건하에서 수산화나트륨을 작잠견사에 처리하는 경우 작잠견사의 가수분해율이 오히려 떨어지는 경향을 보였다. 2. 산 및 알칼리 처리에 의하여 제조된 작잠분말의 형태는 용해도가 30 wt% 부근에서는 섬유상의 형태를 유지하였으며 산처리 분말의 경우 용해도가 증가함에 따라 섬유축 방향으로 조각난 미세한 입자형태를 나타내었으나 알칼리처리 분말의 경우에는 부정형의 입자형태를 나타내었다. 3. 적외선 분광분석 결과 작잠분말은 처리조건과 무관하게 ${\beta}$-sheet 구조의 특성을 반영하는 1635, 1532, 1226, 960, 700 cm$^{-1}$ 흡수대와 ${\alpha}$-helix 구조의 특성을 반영하는 616 cm$^{-1}$ 흡수대가 뚜렷하게 나타나 작잠분말의 주요 conformation은 ${\beta}$-sheet 구조와 ${\alpha}$-helix 구조임을 확인하였다. 4. X-선 회절분석 결과 가수분해율이 낮을 경우 (35 wt%)에는 ${\beta}$-sheet 구조와 ${\alpha}$-helix 구조에 기인하는 회절 피크가 뚜렷하게 나타났으나 가수분해율이 80 wt% 이상으로 증가하면 2${\theta}$=17.1$^{\circ}$ 및 20.0$^{\circ}$의 회절피크만 강하게 나타났다.

작잠 arylphorin 항 혈청을 사용하여 천잠, 가중나무 산누에 나방 및 옥색긴꼬리 산누에나방의 5령 유충의 혈림프, 피부, 지방체, 중장 및 실샘에 대한 종(species) 공통항원의 존재 여부를 비교${\cdot}$검토하였다. 4개종은 혈림프, 피부, 지방체, 중장 실샘 등 종별 조직에 따라 다소간 검출유무의 차이는 있으나 작잠 arylphorin 항 혈청에 대한 공통항원의 존재는 4종의 야생곤충 모두에서 확인되었으며, 특히 혈림프에서 가장 강력한 항원-항체 반응이 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과에서 A. pernyi arylphorin은 천잠 등 4개의 공시곤충들의 공통 조상유전자로부터 유래한 단백질일 가능성이 높은 것으로 사료된다.

Injection method of Paecilomyces japonica to Antheraea pernyi pupal body was investigated on feasibility for production of the corresponding vegetable wasp and plant worm. Infection rate of P. japonica to the pupae was 100%, and also fruiting body formation rate was 97%. The initial pupal body weight of 9.38 g befor injection of P. japonica to the pupae was finally reduced to 7.87g after two weeks in vivo culture. From these results, the injection method to pupal body will be useful for the production of Antheraea vegetable wasp and plant worm in future.

The effect of diet supplementation of Antheraea pernyi (A. pernyi) silk fibroin on the lipid metabolism and antioxidant defense status in high fat-fed mice was investigated. The animals were given normal control diet (NC group), high fat diet (HF group), or high fat diet supplemented with A. pernyi silk fibroin powder (HFS group) for 7 weeks. After the experimental period, the HF group showed significant increase in body weight, plasma and hepatic total cholesterol levels, and hepatic triglyceride concentration, and decreased activities of hepatic antioxidant enzymes relative to NC group. However, the HFS group exhibited marked reduction in body weight, plasma cholesterol and hepatic triglyceride levels, hepatic lipogenic enzyme activities, and lipid peroxidation rate, and higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol level, fecal triglyceride content, and antioxidant enzymes activities compared with that of HF group. These findings demonstrate that dietary feeding of A. pernyi silk fibroin could improve the lipid metabolism and antioxidant defense system via regulation of hepatic antioxidant and lipogenic enzymes activities. Hence, this silk fibroin may be beneficial as a functional biomaterial for the development of therapeutic agent against high fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia and its related diseases.
