  • Dendritic cells (DCs) are considered to play major roles during the induction of T cell immune responses as well as the maintenance of T cell tolerance. Naive CD4+ T cells have been shown to respond with high plasticity to signals inducing their polarization into effector/helper or regulatory T cells. Data obtained from in vitro generated bone-marrow (BM)-derived DCs as well as genetic mouse models revealed an important but not exclusive role of DCs in shaping CD4+ T cell responses. Besides the specialization of some conventional DC subsets for the induction of polarized immunity, also the maturation stage, activation of specialized transcription factors and the cytokine production of DCs have major impact on CD4+ T cells. Since in vitro generated BM-DCs show a high diversity to shape CD4+ T cells and their high similarity to monocyte-derived DCs in vivo, this review reports data mainly on BM-DCs in this process and only touches the roles of transcription factors or of DC subsets, which have been discussed elsewhere. Here, recent findings on 1) the conversion of naive into anergic and further into Foxp3- regulatory T cells (Treg) by immature DCs, 2) the role of RelB in steady state migratory DCs (ssmDCs) for conversion of naive T cells into Foxp3+ Treg, 3) the DC maturation signature for polarized Th2 cell induction and 4) the DC source of IL-12 for Th1 induction are discussed.

  • HIV감염자는 질병의 진전에 무관하게 감염 후의 경과 시기에 따라서 CD4 T림프세포등 각종 면역상태를 나타내는 표지가 변한다 따라서 HW감염자의 질병진전을 예보하기 위하여서는 정기적으로 CD4등 각종표지를 측정하여 감염자의 질병상태를 monitoring하게 된다. 그러나 이러한 수치를 감염자관리에 적용하기 위하여서는 우리나라 일반인의 정상치를 파악하여 이를 지표로 해야 하므로 국내정상인의 각종 면역치에 대한 조사가 요구된다. 현재의 기준으로는 500이하로 떨어질 때에는 예방차원에서 AZT를 복용하게 되며 200이하로 떨어지면 질병의 유무에 관계없이 환자로 관리하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 한국인 185명의 감염자와 140명의 비감염자에 대하여 정기적으로 CD4 및 CD8T 림프세포와 CD4/CD8비를 측정하였다. 시험은 Flow cytometer(Facstar)를 이용하여 각각의 CD 분자에 대한 모노크로날 항체를 이용하여 2중혈광색소 염색방법으로 측정 하였다. HIV감염자의 CD4-T림프세포 절대수 및 백분율은 각각 462 및 18.2%이었는 반면, CD8의 수치는 1,170 및 47.0%이었다. 또한 CD4/CDB비는 0.43이었다. 이와는 대조적으로 비감염자의 경우, 한국인의 CD4의 평균 세포수는 886, 백분율은 32.9%이었으며, CD8 세포수는 730, 백분율은 26.8 그리고 CD4/CD8비는 1.31이었다. 외국인과 한국인과의 면역지표 수치를 비교하였을 때에 CD4세포수와 백분율, CD8의 백분율에서는 현저한 차이가 없었으나 외국인 비감염자의 경우 CD4백분율이 43.6%, CD8 T림프세포의 절대수가 560으로 한국인과 약간의 차이가 있었다. 따라서 HIV 감염자관리를 위한 면역지표측정시험에서의 각종수치의 정확한 해석을 위하여서는 한국인 비감염자수치를 고려해야할 것으로 판단된다.

  • MHC unrestricted, antigen nonspecific killing by $CD4^+$ T-cells against virally-infected target cells was induced following cross-linking of CD4 molecules. The cytotoxicity of antibody-activated $CD4^+$ T-cells was abolished by genistein (4',5,7-trihydroxyisoflavone), a protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitor, but not by H-7, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. Genisteintreated human or bovine peripheral blood $CD4^+$ T-cells lacked PTK activity and failed to kill virally-infected target cells even after cross-linking of CD4 molecules. The cross-linking of CD4 molecules did not induce effector cell proliferation or the transcription of TNF ${\beta}$. TNF ${\beta}$ synthesis was up-regulated by incubating antibody activated effector cells with bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) infected D17 target cells. Anti-TNF ${\beta}$ antibody partially abrogated direct effector cell-mediated antiviral cytotoxicity. On the other hand, this antibody effectively neutralized antiviral activity of effector and target cell culture supernatants against BHV-1 infected D17 cells. The inhibition level of the antiviral activity by the antibody was dependent on effector and target cell ratio. These findings have importance to define the mechanisms of how CD4 cytotoxic cells control viral infection.

  • OMH which is known for its properties of recruiting vitality, is composed of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. and Sesamum indicum DC.. This formula is known to possess the properties of recruiting vitality, blackening white hair and expanding life span. 16-week-old SD-Rats were treated with OMH for 16 days. After 24 hours, the rats were treated with MTX(Mthotrexate is oral administrated for 4 days(1mg/kg/day), in order to lower immunity. Then, These rats were classified in to groups, the N-16 group(not specially tested), the Control group(MTX), the OMH-L group(2.5% OMH+MTX)&the OMH-H group(10% OMH+MTX) and 6 rats were assigned to each group. After 18 hours from MTX treatment the organ index of the rats from each group Thymus and Spleen were measured. The percentage of CD+4, CD8+ T cell were measured and compared by flow cytometer. 1) Rats from the OHM-L&OMH-H group showed higher organ indexes of the Thymus and Spleen compared to the rats from the Control Group. This proves that OMH possesses the properties to mitigate degenerations of immunity($F_{thymus}=20.162,\;F_{spleen}=5.882$, ANDVA, p<0.05). 2) The rats from the two OMH groups showed higher rates of CD4+ T cell counts compared to the control group(F=26.906, ANOVA, p<0.05). CD8+ T cell showed lower rates compared to the Control group, but showed no differences within the two OMH groups(F=1.254, ANOYA, p>0.05). CD4+/CD8+ showed higher rates in the two OMH groups compared to the control group which can be thought as a proof that OMH prevents depression of immune response(F=10.554, ANOVA, p<0.05). In this test 16 week-old rats were used, which can be considered as the middle and prime age of the human being. These rats were treated with OMH which ended up showing properties of mitigating degeneration of immune responses and maintaining T-cell rates within the blood. It was possible to study that OMH possesses the properties to increase immune responses.

  • Background: Scid.adh is a recently developed murine thymic lymphoma cell line, which has been used as in vitro model for the study of double negative stage III thymocytes. In this study, we compared the expression profile of a number of genes and proteins, which are tightly related to T cell development and apoptosis, in thymic lymphoma cell lines, R1.1, EL-4, and Scid.adh for the developmental staging. Methods: We examined the expression of development marker genes and proteins in three lymphoma cell lines by flow cytometry and RT-PCR. In addition, the expression of apoptosis-related molecules including bcl-2, bax and Fas was also investigated. Results: As previously reported, Scid.adh cell line expressed CD8 and CD25 but not TCR ${\alpha}$ chain, while R1.1 cells expressed TCR ${\alpha}$ chain and both CD4 and CD8 transcripts. These suggest that R1.1 might be in double positive stage, and low level of CD44 expression and the absence of CD25 support this suggestion. In contrast, EL-4 cells showed high level of TCR ${\alpha}$ chain transcript, and low-level of CD4 expression, suggesting that EL-4 is in more mature stage than R1.1. Further, this suggestion was supported by the lack of mT-20 in EL-4 cells, which is expressed in the immature thymocytes, and Scid.adh and R1.1 cell lines, but not in the terminally differentiated thymocytes and peripheral T cells. Among the apoptosis-related gene, transcripts of bcl-2 gene were detected in both R1.1 and EL-4 but not in Scid.adh cells, while bax was expressed in all cell lines. Fas expression was the highest in EL-4 cells and low in Scid.adh cell line. Conclusion: R1.1 cell may represent double positive stage, and EL-4 is more differentiated cell line. In addition, Scid.adh and EL-4 cell lines are suspected to be useful for the study of function of bcl-2 family and Fas during the thymocyte development, respectively.

  • 동종동맥판의 보존기법이 발전하면서 상당한 정도의 생육성이 보존되며, 특히 면역반응의 주된 요인인 내피세포 생육성이 약 50%이상 보존되기 때문에 보존처리된 동종동맥판 내피세포의 면역능력을 평가하는것이 동종동맥판의 임상적변화의 원인을 규명하는데 필요할 것이다. 실험은 200~250gm의 Sprague-Dawley Rat를 사용하였다. Rat로부터 적출한 동맥벽을 현재 임상적으로 사용하고 있는 냉장보존법과 냉동보존법을 사용하여 2주일간 보존하였으며 보존처리전(No treat)과 멸균처리후(sterile),냉장 보존후 1(1day), 2(2day), 7(7day), 14일째(14day), 2주간의 냉동보존후(cryo)에 표본을 채취하여 보존시간에 따른 변화를 관찰하였다. 면역표현에 대한 연구를 위하여 혈관조직으로부터 내피세포를 분리한 뒤 면역조직화학검사(Immunohistochemical study)를 하였다. 혈관내피세포의 항원 표현정도를 정량적으로 분석하기 위하여 anti-MHC class I antibody(MRC OX-18)과 anti-MHC class II antibody(MRC OX-6), anti-ICAM antibody를 사용하였다. 처리된 내피세포를 Flow cytomwtry로 분석하여 항체가 부착된 내피세포의 비율을 알아냄으로써 내피세포의 항원성(antigenic expression)을 조사하였다. 또한 보존처리된 동종동맥판에 의한 생체내에서의 면역반응을 평가하기 위하여 위에서와 같은 방법으로 보존처리전(No treat), 멸균처리 후 2일 보존후(2 day), 7일 보존후(7 day), 14일 보존 후(14 day), 냉동보존(cryo)된 동종동맥판을 Mouse에 이식한 후 일정기간(1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8주)이 경과된 시점에서 혈중의 CD4$^{+}$, CD8$^{+}$ T cell분포를 측정하였다. 이를 위하여 Mouse의 미정맥에서 채취한 혈액에 monoclonal antibody를 처리한 뒤 flow cytometry를 이용하여 lymphocyte중의 CD4$^{+}$, CD8$^{+}$ T cell 비율을 측정하였다. 내피세포의 MHC Class I 표현정도는 No treat에서 23.95%였고, sterile에서 48.08%로 증가한 뒤 14day 까지 36.02%로, cryo에서도 35.53% 로 증가되어 있었다(p=0.0183). MHC Class II 표현정도는 No treat에서 9.72%, sterile에서 10.13%이였고 14day 에서 10.27%, cryo 에서 13.39% 였다(P=0.1599). ICAM-1 표현정도는 No treat에서 15.02%, sterile에서 19.85%였고, 14day에서 35.33%, cryo에서 34.67% 로 증가하였다(P=0.001). 정상 Mouse에서 CD4$^{+}$, CD8$^{+}$ T-cell분포는 각각 42.13%, 25.57% 였고 CD4$^{+}$/CD8$^{+}$ ratio는 1.64였다. 동종동맥을 이식받은 Mouse의 정맥혈중 CD4$^{+}$ T-cell분포는 No treat군에서 1주에서 8주사이에 49.23% 에서 36.8%사이로 변화를 보이지 않았고(p=0.955), 2 day군에서는 30.36%로 감소하였고(p=0.0001), 7day군에서는 32.8%로 감소하였고(p=0.008), 14 day 군은 26.92%로 감소(p=0.0001), cryo군은 29.56%로 감소하였다(p=0.0018). CD8$^{+}$T-cell은 모든 군에서 1주에서 8주 사이에 42.32%에서 58.92%사이로 증가하였다(p=0.0001~0.0002). CD4$^{+}$/CD8$^{+}$ ratio는 모든 군에서 1주에 1.22 에서 2.28 사이에 있었으나 8주후에는 모든 군에서 0.47에서 0.95 사이로 감소하였다(p=0.0001). 즉, 보존처리된 동종동맥판의 내피세포는 보존처리과정의 초기에는 MHC class I과 II항원효과를 동시에 보이고, 보존기간이 길어지면서 MHC class II항원효과는 변함이 없으나 MHC class I 항원효과는 증가함을 알 수 있다. 또한 CD4$^{+}$ T-cell은 보존처리 기간 중 소폭의 변환를 보임에 반하여 CD8$^{+}$ T-cell은 보존처리된 기간에 관계없이 이식된 후 8주간에 걸쳐 지속적으로 증가함을 알 수 있다. 4$^{\circ}C$에 냉장보존한 군과 냉동보존한 군간에는 차이가 없었다. 이와같은 결과를 볼 때 동종동맥판을 체내에 이식할 경우 내피세포에 의한 MHC class I 항원효과가 지속적으로 유지되고 있음을 추측할 수 있다.

  • G-Rb1에 의한 단핵구 세포주인 U937 세포와 대식세포주인 RAW264.7 세포의 유착조절 능, 세포표면 단백질 발현율 및 세포모양 변화능 조절효과를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. G-Rb1은 CD29항체 (MEM101A) 및 CD43 항체(161-46) 처리에 의해 유도된 세포-세포간 유착현상을 20%에서 35%까지 유의적으로 상승하였다. 2. G-Rb1은 fibronectin처리에 의해 유도된 U937 세포-fibronectin간 유착현상을 상승시켰다. 3. G-Rb1은 CD29 및 CD43의 세포표면 발현 수준을 유의적으로 증가시켰으나 CD82의 발현은 억제시켰다. 4. G-Rb1은 PMA에 의해 유도된 형태변화는 촉진경향을 반면에 LPS에 의한 변화는 억제경향을 나타내었다. 인삼의 주요사포닌 성분인 G-Rb1의 약리작용이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 특별히, 본 화합물이 갖는 면역증강 및 항암 효능은 인삼이 갖는 이들 효과를 대신하는 것으로 보고 되어져 있다. 그러나, 세포유착과정이 다양한 염증과정, 알러지 반응 및 암세포의 이동과 전이성 등에 관련이 있다는 관점에서 볼 때 본 연구결과는 이들 약물이 갖는 치료기전을 설명하기에는 충분하지 않는 것으로 판단된다. 오히려, 본 결과는 G-Rb1이 특정 농도 ($25-50\;{\mu}M$ 수준)에서 세포의 활성을 촉진할 수 있다는 가능성을 시사한다고 하겠다. 특별히, G-Rb1의 세포유착 촉진 기능에 관한 기전 이해를 위해, 이후, 세포유착 유도 신호전달 단백질의 활성을 포함한 다양한 분자적 수준에서의 추가적인 실험들을 진행하고 한다.

  • The CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cell (Treg) is a special kind of T cell subset. Studies have showed that Treg cells are involved in a number of physiological processes and pathologic conditions such as autoimmune diseases, transplantation tolerance and cancer. Tregs with unique capacity for immune inhibition can impair anti-tumour immunity and help tumor cells to escape from immune surveillance. The aim of our study was to investigate whether Tregs are involved in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A BABL/C mouse with HCC in situ model was established to evaluate the Treg existence in carcinoma tissues and the changes of Tregs in spleen using flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry methods. Granzyme B expression in carcinoma tissues was analyzed by immunohistochemistry to investigate the tumor local immune status.The proportion of CD4+CD25+/CD4+ spleen lymphocytes of tumor bearing mice ($18.8%{\pm}1.26%$) was found to be significantly higher than that in normal mice ($9.99%{\pm}1.90%$) (P<0.01 ). Immunohistochemistry of spleen tissue also confirmed that there was an increase in Treg in tumor-bearing mice, while in carcinomas it showed Treg cells to be present in tumor infiltrating lymphocyte areas while Granzyme B was rarely observed. Anti-tumour immunity was suppressed, and this might be associated with the increase of Tregs. Our observations suggest that the CD4+CD25+Treg/CD4+ proportion in spleen lymphocytes can be a sensitive index to evaluate the change of Tregs in hepatocellular carcinoma mice and the Treg may be a promising therapeutic target for cancer.

  • CdSe nanoparticles were prepared by chemical solution methods using $CdCl_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ (or $Cd(NO_3)_ 2{\cdot}4H_2O$) and $Na_2SeSO_3$. The characteristics of CdSe nanoparticles were controlled by the react ion time, reaction temperature and reaction method as well as the surfactants. Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB) was used as a capping agent to control the chemical reactions in aqueous solution. Polyvinylalcohol(PVA) was used as a templet in sono-chemical method. CdSe nanoparticles synthesized in aqueous solution showed homogeneous size distribution with relatively stable surface. CdSe nanoparticles synthesized in non-aqueous solution containing diethanolamine(DEA) showed the structure transformation from cubic to hexagonal as the reduction temperature increased from 80 to $160^{\circ}C$. Core shell CdSe was synthesized by sono-chemical method. Characteristics of CdSe nanoparticles were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy(TEM), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), x-ray diffraction(XRD), UV-Vis absorption spectra, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) and photoluminescence spectra spectroscopy(PL). This paper presents simple routes to prepare CdSe nanoparticles for solar cell applications.

  • CdSe is one of the composite semiconductor materials used in hybrid solar cell. CdSe nanorods were fabricated using electrochemical deposition in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. CdSe were deposited from $CdSO_4$ and $H_2SeO_3$ dissolved aqueous solution by direct current electrochemical deposition. Uniformity of CdSe nanorods were dependent on the diameter and the height of holes in AAO. The current density, current mode, bath composition and temperature were controlled to obtained 1:1 atomic composition of CdSe. CdSe electroplating in AAO is bottom-up filling so we applied direct current is better than others for good uniformity of CdSe nanorods. The optimum conditions to obtain 1:1 atomic composition of CdSe nanorods are direct current $10\;mA/cm^2$, 0.25 M $CdSO_4$-5 mM $H_2SeO_3$ electrolytes at room temperature.
