항원제시세포(APC)와 보조T세포 간의 협력작용에 의하여 활성화된 작동세포(NK세포, CTL, K세포, 대식세포, 과립구 등)의 종양세포, 이식장기 및 세포내기생세균에 감염된 각종 세포에 대한 세포독성작용은 생체방어를 위한 중요한 세포성면역기전이다. 지난 몇 년간 세포성면역기전에 관한 많은 연구에도 불구하고 T림파구매개성 세포독성작용의 면역생물학적기전은 확실히 밝혀있지 않다. 지금까지 알려진 중요한 연구내용을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 세포독성작용을 나타내는 작동세포로는 NK세포, CTL, K세포, 대식세포/단핵구 및 과립구가 있다. 2. T세포의 세포표면항원분자군(CD)으로는 $CD_{2},\;CD_{3},\;CD_{4}[Ly_{3}T_{4}],\;CD_{5}[=Ly_{1}],\;CD_{7},\;CD_{8}[Ly_{2,3}]$가 있으며 $CD_{4}$는 보조Ttpvhdml 특이마커이고 $CD_{8}$는 세포독성 T세포 및 억압T세포의 특이마커이다. 주요 T세포수용체(TCR)는 $CD_{4}$ 또는 $CD_{8}$ 분자와 가까이 연합된 이향체($TCR-{\alpha}{\beta}/TCR-{\gamma}{\delta}$이며 보조 T세포 $CD_{4}$(마우스 $L_{3}T_{4}$)는 수용체와 연합되어 있는반면 억압 T세포 $CD_{8}(Ly+_{2,3})$는 항원수용체와 연합되어 있다. 3. T세포는 Ti-$CD_{3}$(항원/MHC) 복합체를 통한 '항원가교'에 의한 자극(항원인식)과 $CD_{2}$를 통한 비특이경로에 의하여 활성화(분화증식)된다. 비특이경로를 통한 활성경로에서 T세포($CD_{4}$ 및 $CD_{8}$)가 활성화되기 위하여는 보조T세포가 생산하는 IL-2을 요구하며 IL-2의 자극으로 분화증식된 $CD_{8}$는 세포독성능을 나타내지만 $CD_{4}^{+}$는 여전히 세포독성능을 나타내지 못한다. 4. 보조T세포는 class II MHC분자와 연합된 항원을 식별하는 반면 세포독성T세포는 class I MHC 분자와 연합된 항원을 식별한다. 5. 림파구 매개성 세포독성은 접촉(conjugati-on), 탈분극(depolarization), 용해계획(progra-mming), 용해(lysis) 및 재순환(recycling)의 단계를 거쳐 진행된다. 6. 표적세포살해매체로는 perforin / PFP / cy-tolysin, lymphopores, lymphotoxins, protone, cytolytic enzymes가 알려졌으며 세포독성작용은 이들 이외에도 여러 가지 매체를 통한 복합작용으로 추정된다. 7. CTL 매개성 표적세포의 주요 대사변화는 actomyocin ATPase의 증가, phosphocreatine과 ATPase의 소모, ATP 의존성 $Na^{+}/K^{+}$ 펌프작용의 중지, ATP 의존성 $Ca^{2+}$ 유출감소 및 세포내 축적이 관찰된다. 8. $Ca^{2+}$의 축적으로 세포막 교질 침투손상을 주어 수분의 유입을 증가시킴으로써 수포형성, 핵붕괴, 사립체팽화 및 정상세포 구조상실(Zeiosis)이 있다. 결론적으로 CTL 매개성 세포독성작용은 PFP, LT, TNF, 유사 TNF / LT 및 기타 매체를 통한 복합작용이며 세포살해기전은 지속적 대사소모와 정형적 세포구조(핵 및 세포질)의 파괴에 의한 것이다.

Determination of cadmium(II) ion with a perfluorinated sulfonated polymer-ethylenediamine(nafion-en) modified glassy carbon electrode was studied. It was based on the chemical reactivity of an immobilized layer(nafion-en) to yield complex $[Cd(en)_2]^{2+}$. The reduction peak potential by differential pulse voltammetry(DPV) was observed at $-0.780({\pm}0.005)V$ vs. As/AgCl. The linear calibration curve was obtained in cadmium(II) ion concentration range $5.0{\times}10^{-7}-2.0{\times}10^{-5}M$, and the detection limit(3s) was $2.20{\times}10^{-7}M$. The detection limit of nafion-en modified glassy carbon electrode has been shown about 14 higher sensitivity than a bare glassy carbon electrode.

This paper presents a design methodology of a Digital Servo Signal Processor for high speed CD-RW drive systems. The proposed Digital Servo Signal Processor enables us to develop CD-related systems for the very high speed applications and is one of the key components of the CD-RW systems. The proposed center compensation servo control is newly built for an actuator shaking due to the fast response of a step motor when it jumps to a long distance. A control method compensating for eccentricity of a disc is implemented for operating robustly at a higher rotational speed. This servo mechanism is more size efficient and less power consumed because it is implemented using a ARM7 embedded processor and hardware digital filters. Furthermore, it is convenient to upgrade firmware for the future required functions. From experimental results, we can see that the performance of the control system is improved greatly. The proposed servo algorithm shows a shorter setting time including a pull-in time and a faster access time. It can be applied easily to the DVD-ROM and the DVD-RAM which have the same optical structure.

The interactions between methylated $\beta$-cyclodextrin (CD) and hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble associative polymers (HASE) were examined by a rheological technique. The effect of "capping" of hydrophobes by methylated $\beta$-cyclodextrin on the viscosity and modulus was evaluated. Model HASE polymers with $C_1$to $C_{20}$ alkyl hydrophobic groups ethoxylated with~10 moles of ethylene-oxide (EO 10) and at concentrations up to 3 wt% were examined. With the addition of methylated $\beta$-CD, the steady shear viscosity profiles shift from a Newtonian profile to one that display a shear-thinning characteristic. Significant "capping" of the hydrophobes occurs for HASE polymers with $C_{l2}$, $C_{16}$ and $C_{20}$ hydrophobes as reflected by the large reduction in the viscosity. However, the steady shear viscosity remains constant when the concentration of $\beta$-CD exceeds 1 wt%, suggesting that $\beta$-CD is not able to fully encapsulate the hydrophobes of the HASE polymer. The temperature variation plots indicate that the activation energy of the HASE-EO10-$C_{20}$ system and $\beta$-CD is dependent on the magnitude of the applied shear stress. These results further reinforce the hypothesis that $\beta$-CD is not able to completely remove all the hydrophobic associations.phobic associations.

TLR4 together with CD14 and MD-2 forms a pattern recognition receptor that plays an initiating role in the innate immune response to Gram-negative bacteria. Here, we employed the surface plasmon resonance technique to investigate the kinetics of binding of LPS to recombinant CD14, MD-2 and TLR4 proteins produced in insect cells. The dissociation constants ($K_D$) of LPS for immobilized CD14 and MD-2 were $8.7{\mu}m$, and $2.3{\mu}m$, respectively. The association rate constant ($K_{on}$) of LPS for MD-2 was $5.61{\times}10^3M^{-1}S^{-1}$, and the dissociation rate constant ($K_{off}$) was $1.28{\times}10^2S^{-1}$, revealing slow association and fast dissociation with an affinity constant $K_D$ of $2.33{\times}10^6M$ at $25^{\circ}C$. These affinities are consistent with the current view that CD14 conveys LPS to the TLR4/MD-2 complex.

The electronic properties of quantum dots can be tuned by changing the size of particles without any change in their chemical composition. CdSe quantum dots, the sizes of which were controlled by changing the concentrations of Cd and Se precursors, were adsorbed on $TiO_2$ photoelectrodes and used as sensitizers for photovoltaic cells. For applications of CdSe quantum dot as sensitizers, $CdSe/TiO_2$ films on conducting glass were employed in a sandwich-type cell that incorporated a platinum-coated conductive glass and an electrolyte consisting of an $I^-/I_3^-$ redox. The fill factor (FF) and efficiency for energy conversion ($\c{c}$) of the photovoltaic cell was 62 % and 0.32 %, respectively.

Background: Dengue virus, which belongs to the Flavivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family, causes fatal dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) with infection risk of 2.5 billion people worldwide. However, approved vaccines are still not available. Here, we explored the immune responses induced by alternating prime-boost vaccination using DNA vaccine, adenovirus, and vaccinia virus expressing E protein of dengue virus type 2 (DenV2). Methods: Following immunization with DNA vaccine (pDE), adenovirus (rAd-E), and/or vaccinia virus (VV-E) expressing E protein, E protein-specific IgG and its isotypes were determined by conventional ELISA. Intracellular CD154 and cytokine staining was used for enumerating CD4+ T cells specific for E protein. E protein-specific CD8+ T cell responses were evaluated by in vivo CTL killing activity and intracellular IFN-${\gamma}$ staining. Results: Among three constructs, VV-E induced the most potent IgG responses, Th1-type cytokine production by stimulated CD4+ T cells, and the CD8+ T cell response. Furthermore, when the three constructs were used for alternating prime-boost vaccination, the results revealed a different pattern of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses. i) Priming with VV-E induced higher E-specific IgG level but it was decreased rapidly. ii) Strong CD8+ T cell responses specific for E protein were induced when VV-E was used for the priming step, and such CD8+ T cell responses were significantly boosted with pDE. iii) Priming with rAd-E induced stronger CD4+ T cell responses which subsequently boosted with pDE to a greater extent than VV-E and rAd-E. Conclusion: These results indicate that priming with live viral vector vaccines could induce different patterns of E protein-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses which were significantly enhanced by booster vaccination with the DNA vaccine. Therefore, our observation will provide valuable information for the establishment of optimal prime-boost vaccination against DenV.

Lichen-forming fungi are known to have various biological activities, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antitumor, antiviral, anti-inflammation, and anti proliferative effects. However, the immunosuppressive effects of Bryoria sp. extract (BSE) have not previously been investigated. In this study, the inhibitory activity of BSE on the proliferation of $CD8^+$ T cells and the mixed lymphocytes reaction (MLR) was evaluated in vitro. BSE was non-toxic in spleen cells and suppressed the growth of splenocytes induced by anti-CD3. The suppressed cell population in spleen cells consisted of $CD8^+$ T cells and their proliferation was inhibited by the treatment with BSE. This extract significantly suppressed the IL-2 associated with T cell growth and $IFN-{\gamma}$ as the $CD8^+$ T cell marker. Furthermore, BSE reduced the expression of the IL-2 receptor alpha chain ($IL-2R{\alpha}$) on $CD8^+$ T cells and CD86 on dendritic cells by acting as antigen-presenting cells. Finally, the MLR produced by the co-culture of C57BL/6 and MMC-treated BALB/c was suppressed by BSE. IL-2, $IFN-{\gamma}$, and CD69 on $CD8^+$ T cells in MLR condition were inhibited by BSE. These results indicate that BSE inhibits the MLR via the suppression of $IL-2R{\alpha}$ expression in $CD8^+$ T cells. BSE has the potential to be developed as an anti-immunosuppression agent for organ transplants.
