To determine the existence of anti-HLA antibodies finally in 220 human placental extracts to be proved negative antiserum by previous anti-HLA A,B,C antibody screening procedure, the present study was performed by fractionation of immunoglobulins using saturated ammonium sulfate and by simple batch method on DEAE cellulose. Thereafter using known 150 T-lymphocyte panels, complement-dependent microlymphocytotoxicity test was performed to observe the existence of anti-HLA antibodies and the degree of the antibody response of the concentrates. The following results were obtained: 1. Of total 141 placental sera concentrated 45 cases(31.9%) were showed significant anti-HLA A,B,C antibody response after concentration(Excellent, 19(13.5%), Good, 3(2.1%), Weak, 23(16.3%)). 2. Anti-HLA specificities of placental sera obtained after concentration were A2, A24, B13, B27, B44, B51, CN1, C7. 3. A new type C new-1 anti-HLA antibody that is only expressed in Korean people, was obtained. 4. 79 placental sera purrified by simple batch method using DEAE cellulose were showed negative anti-HLA antibody responses.

Bacillus macerans cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(EC 2.4.1.19: 1, 4-${\alpha}$-D(1, 4-${\alpha}$-glucano)-transferase, CGTase) was purified by the technique of starch adsorption and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 67,000, consisting of a subunit. The enzyme converted starch into ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, and ${\gamma}$-CD in the relative amounts of 1:1.68:0.32, respectively. In the early reaction period, maltohexose was formed mainly by the coupling reaction of ${\alpha}$-CD with D-glucose and then other oligosaccharides. Maltotetrose was formed mainly from ${\alpha}$-CD in the initial stage of hydrolysis of the enzyme and then small amount of other oligosaccharides. Maltotriose was a good substrate for the enzyme and maltosyl or D-glucopyranosyl group can be transfered from this sugar. In this work, D-glutosyl transfer was premiered.

The hemolyic polypeptide in delta-endotoxin from Bacillus thun'ngiensis subsp. darmstadiensis 73ElO-2 was purified by Sephadex G-IOO gel filtration and DEAE-cellulose ion exchange column chromatography. The purity of hemolysin was confirmed by ouchterlony test and SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight of the purified hemolysin was approximately 64 KDa by SDS-PAGE. The purified hemolysin has not mosquitocidal activity against larvae of Aedes agypti, but hemolytic activity on red blood cells of rat. There is no serological relationship between delta-endotoxin from B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis and the purified hemolysin from the . strain 73ElO-2.

The inulase(EC 3.2.1.7) was isolated from the tuber of Jerusalem artichoke by conventional purification methods including ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephadex G-100 filtration, and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The enzyme was purified 6,470 fold with 42% recovery, The enzyme was consisted of a polypeptide of Mw 57,000. The optimum temperature and the optimum pH for the enzyme action was $33^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.0, respectively. The enzyme was highly specific for inulin as a substrate. The km for inulin was 20mM. The inulase was not a metalloenzyme and was inhibited completely by 10mM $Mg^{2+},Ca^{2+},\;or\;Hg^{2+}$.

Phytic acid content of 6 varieties of Korean barley ranged from 0.94 to 1.17%. Polishing of barleys greatly reduced the level of phytic acid. Cooking and autoclaving had little effect on phytic acid reduction, while ultrasonic treatment removed 57% of the phytic acid content. Germination decreased barley phytic acid 24% and increased phytase activity 9-fold. Phytase purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration and DEAE-cellulose chromatography showed an optimum pH of 5.0 and an optimum temperature of $40^{\circ}C$.

The alkaline protease producing mold isolated from and identified as Aspergillus fumigatus. It was found that the production of alkaline protease reach to maximum was cultured for 3 days at $30^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was purified 86.13 fold and yield of the enzyme purification was 6.4%, The purification procedure include ammonium sulfate treatment, gelfiltration on Sephadex G-25, G-75, G-150 and DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography. When the purified enzyme was applied sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the molecular weight was estimated about 63000. This enzyme composed 17 amino acids and main amino acids of this enzyme were glycine and glutamic acid.

A new type II restriction endonuclease, Bdi I, has been isolated from Brenibacterium divaricatum FERM 5948 by procedures of ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography and heparin agarose chromatography. The purified Bdi I restriction endonudlease had the same cleavage patterns of Cla I whose recognition sequence is 5' ATCGAT 3'. From the result that ${\lambda}-Cla$ I DNA frahment could be cloned in pBR 322 digested with Bdi I, it has been proven that Bdi I cuts between T and C(5' AT/CGAT3') within the recognition sequence and produces 5'pCG cohesive end. The optimal temperature for the Bdi I restriction endonuclease activity was $37^{\circ}C$, and optimal salt (NaCl) concentration was 50-100 mM.

${\beta}$-Glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.31) which hydrolizes D-glucuronate from ${\beta}$-D-glucuronide was purified from rat liver, using ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, Concanavalin-A Sepharose 4B chromatography and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. This enzyme has the molecular weight of 280,000 daltons by gel filtration and 75,000 daltons by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. As its funtion is reverse of detoxification in the liver, the inhibition of the enzyme was tested with extracts of several food products and medicinal herbs, some are known as anti-cancer agents. Among them, Panax ginseng and Cortnellus shiiake inhibited the enzyme competitively and the $K_1$ values were $9.22 {\times}\;10^{-2}$ and 0.102 mg/ml, respectively. These inhibitors strongly bound to DEAE-cellulose. The negatively charged amino acids, L-aspartate and L-glutamate, inhibited the enzyme, and $K_1$ value of L-aspartate was 0.80 mM. The interaction between ${\beta}$-glucuronidase and p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-glucuronide was found to involve ionic forces by the effect of ionic strength on the kinetic constant, Vmax/Km. It was inferred from these findings that cationic group at the active center of the enzyme is probably involved in attacking the substrate.

It was found that water extract of Panax ginseng strongly inhibited adrenaline-induced lipolysis in isolated fat cells of rat epididymal adipose tissue. An antilipolytic action of the water extract was easily inactivated by treatment with pronase, suggesting that the active principle might be a protein or a peptide. Experiments were designed to purify the antilipolytic substance, or insulin-like substance, of the water extract. The water extract was dialyzed against disti'led water. The outer dialysate was subjected to DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, gelfuaration on sephadex G-50 column, avicel cellulose column chromatography and phospho-cellulose column chromatography, successively. The finally purified substance gave one spot on thin layer chromatography. The molecular weight was found to be around 1000. Experiments are now in progress to elucidate the structure of this insulin-like peptide.
