Background： Infectious mononucleosis is a disease precipitated by Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) in mostly children, some seronegative adolescents and young adults comprising clinical symptoms such as fever, lymphadenopathy, and pharyngitis as well as laboratory findings such as hetero-phil antibodies and atypical lymphocytosis. It is confirmed by serologic test for EBV. Materials and Methods： A retrospective evaluation of 26 patients who diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis was peformed through the analysis of typical symptom, sign and laboratory findings. Results : Infectious mononucleosis occurs mostly at 3 to 10 years (74.9%), common symptoms and signs are fever, cervical lymphadenopathy, tonsillar enlargement and exudate. Positive ratio of atypical Lymphocyte(>10%) and hetrophil antibodies are 61.5%, 35.2% respectively, it is less diagnostic. EBV-viral capsid antigen(VCA) IgM are positive in all cases, so it is most diagnostic findings. Conclusion： Infectious mononucleosis should be considered as a cause of cervical lymphadenopathy and pharyngotonsillitis in children and young adults, the assessment of EBV-VCA IgM is necessary for the diagnosis.

In order to investigate serum antibodies for detection of brucellosis in pigs, a total of 1208 sera were tested by Rose Bengal test (RBT), the standard tube agglutination test (STAT) and competitive ELISA (cELISA). The sera were collected from pigs of Gyeonggi, Chungnam, Chungbuk, Jeonnam and Jeonbuk, provinces during the period 2002 to 2004. All the sera were screened by RBT, and were confirmed by STAT and cELISA. Among 1208 sera, 26 sera (2.2%) were positive in screening test. All the 26 positive sera were positive by STAT, while all the sera were negative by cELISA. On the basis of this study, farmed pigs may be exposed to Brucella species. Furthermore, these results suggest that establishment of diagnoses for detection of porcine brucellosis is necessary.

A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the quantitative detection of the organophosphorus insecticide bromophos. Three bromophos analogues (haptens) were synthesized and were coupled to carrier proteins to use as immunogens or coating antigens. Rabbits were immunized with either one of two haptens coupled to bovine serum albumin (BSA) for production of polyclonal antibodies, and the sera were screened against one of the haptens coupled to ovalbumin (OVA). Using the serum with highest specificity and an enzyme tracer, an antibody-coated ELISA was developed, which showed an $IC_{50}$ of 40 ng/mL with a detection limit of 7 ng/mL. The antibodies in this assay showed negligible cross-reactivity with other organophosphorus pesticides except with the insecticides chlorpyrifos and fenitrothion.

The study was performed to investigate the distributions of swine pleuropneumonia in Kyongbuk western area by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Sera collected from 400 slaughtered pigs in 3 slaughter houses during the period from May 1999 to october 1999 were tested to detect antibodies against A pleuropneumonie serotype 2 and 5. The optimal dilution of CBE antigen, conjugate and serum for this ELISA were determined 1 : 400, 1 : 20,000, 1 100, respectively. The optimal dilution of OW antigen, conjugate and serum for this ELISA were determined 1 : In, 1 : 20,000, 1 : 200, respectively. Cut-off value in this ELISA was determined by mean absorbance (at 492 nm) of negative control sera added with the triple value of the standard deviation. Cut-off value in ELISA by CBE and OMP antigen were 1.134 and 1.217, respectively. By the ELISA, positive reaction rates to A pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 and 5 for CBE antigen were 38.8% and 18.8%, and for OMP antigen were 42.8% and 23.5% of the 400 samples, respectively.

The present study describes the production of monoclonal antibodies against cultured chick myoblast to pursue critical proteins in muscle cell fusion. Among a panel of monoclonal antibodies, three, Mll-3H 13, Mll-3Hl8 and Mll-3H35 were inhibited movblast fusion. A single 101-kDa antigen reactive with monoclonal antibody Mll-3H35 was detected by radioimmu-noprecipitation or by immunoblotting. During the course of myogenesis, the level of the protein remarkably decreased as the cells there differentiated. These results suggest that the protein platys a direct role in the process of myoblast fusion mechanism.

Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against human alpha-fetoprotein (AFPI was produced by hybridizing SP 210-Ag 14 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells of Balb/c mice immunized with purified AFP. Two subclones (D-6 and I-6) were expanded as ascite tumors in svngenic mice, and from ascitic fluid immunoglbulins were Pruified. Each anibodv was identified to be homogeneous by several criteria, and the affinity constant of D-6 and I-6 MAb to AEP was calculated to be 4.2${\times}$10-8 and 6.4${\times}$10-8 M-1, respectively. With these MAbs sensitive and accurate enzyme linked immunosorbent assay method was established.

Two clones of monconal antibodies(Co-1 and Co-2) against BSA-benzoylecgonine(BSABE) were produced. Both monoclonal antibodies showed high binding affinity to BSA-BE. Observing from ELISA inhibition assay, Co-1 reacted only weakly with soluble benzoylecgonine, while Co-2 showed considerable reactivity with soluble benzoylecgonine.

We prepared antibodies from insect glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and assayed the titer. Nine polyclonal antibodies against insect GAGs were raised for development of an ELISA in biological fluids (mice serum). The 3th booster collection of antiserum of BALB/c mice as a primarily antibody was assayed for titer determination by ELISA method. In sandwich ELISA of GAGs derived from Isaria sinclairii or other insects, antiserum from insect GAGs gave satisfactory results for so potent antibody(100: 1~1000:1) raising (manufacturing) agent in range of 10 ng/ml.

To develop hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies to be used as unlimited sources of reagents indispensable for the diagnosis and treatement of leukemic malignancy, a monoclonal antibody was generated to human pre-T leukemia cells (Jurkat). Hybridomas were produced against Jurkat cell line by fusing spleen cells from hyperimmunized mice with murine plasmacytoma cells (P3$\times$63Ag8. V653). One monoclonal antibody derived from this fusion, designated DMJ-2 was reactive with T-cell lines (Jurkat, Molt-4 and RPMI-8402) and normal peripheral E-rosette forming T cells, but unreactive with B-cell lines (Daudi, Nalm-6) and non-T, non-B cell line (K562). Conclusively DMJ-2 reactive with mature and immature T-lineage lymphoid cells.

Amyloid oligomers are believed to play important causal roles in many types of amyloid-related degenerative diseases. Many different laboratories have reported amyloid oligomers that differ in size, morphology, toxicity, and method of preparation or purification, raising the question of the structural relationships among these oligomer preparations. The structural plasticity that has been reported to occur in amyloid formed from the same protein sequence indicates that it is quite possible that different oligomer preparations may represent distinct structural variants. In view of the difficulty in determining the precise structure of amyloids, conformation- and epitope-specific antibodies may provide a facile means of classifying amyloid oligomer structures. Conformation-dependent antibodies that recognize generic epitopes that are specifically associated with distinct aggregation states of many different amyloid-forming sequences indicate that there are at least two fundamentally distinct types of amyloid oligomers: fibrillar and prefibrillar oligomers. Classification of amyloid oligomers according to their underlying structures may be a more useful and rational approach than relying on differences in size and morphology.
