Adipocytes have been known to secrete a number of important proteins called adipokines with roles in energy metabolism, reproduction, cardiovascular function and immunity. In this study we have attempted to identify intensively secretory proteins from 3T3-L1 adipocytes. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated into mature adipocytes and then the cells were left in serum-free medium. The supernatant was filtrated and dialyzed. Lyophilized secretome was fractionated by two different methods, 1-D SDS PAGE and RP-FPLC. The tryptic peptides from the gel slices and the FPLC fractions were analyzed by nanoLC/ESI-MS/MS. We identified a total of 303 identical proteins from two methods, 251 proteins from 1-D gel and 184 proteins from RP-FPLC. 86 of them were listed as a secretory protein Finally, we identified many known or unknown secreted proteins existed in the low level including adiponectin, angiotensinogen, bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP-1), macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), insulin like growth factor-II (IGF-II), interleukin-6 (IL-6), follistatin-related protein-1, minecan, and resistin. The existence of some of secreted proteins has been confirmed in RNA level. This proteomic experiment is useful for the intensive screening of secretory proteins in many kinds of other cells.

A Mono Q HR 5/5 anion-exchange column with a FPLC system was used to separate exogenously expressed calmodulin from endogenous tobacco calmodulins. Transgenic tobacco calmodulins were purified by fractionation with ammonium sulfate, precipitation with sulfuric acid and hydrophobic chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B. The purified calmodulins were chromatographed in the FPLC using the column. This method was selected because of the slight differences in the net charge of foreign and endogenous plant calmodulins due to amino acid sequence differences. By this approach, the exogenously expressed calmodulin was isolated from endogenous tobacco calmodulins. The isolated calmodulin was characterized by amino acid composition analysis as well as methylation analysis.

A new method developed for simultaneous purification of enterotoxin A and C from Staphylococcus aureus strain L 350/1 consisted of chromatography on carboxymethyl (CM)-cellulose using a buffer of variable pH, gel filtration on Ultro gel, and fast protein liquid chromatography(FPLC) using a buffer of variable pH. The enterotoxin A and C were purified by three steps: batchwise adsorption from culture supernatant on Amberlite CG-50; chromatography on CM-cellulose using a buffer of constant pH and molarity; and gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. The purified enterotoxin appeared homogeneous by gel diffusion and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Upon treatment with CM-cellulose using a elution of variable pH, enterotoxin A and C were so close that they were not separated completely. After elution from gels, the enterotoxins appeared as a single peak at the same position. Gel filtration gave a reaction of complete identity to enterotoxin A and C in Ouchterlony immunodiffusion. In FPLC using a CM-cellulose, enterotoxin A and C were simultaneously separated at pH 8.6 and 6.8. When each fraction was performed to gel immunodiffusion, at peak of enterotoxin A and C were not detected each other. In a method of elution by pH-gradient was to be more efficient as a simultaneous separation method in terms of speed, yields and simplicity. The purified toxin A and C were identical to type A and C reference enterotoxin on both disc electrophoresis and Ouchterlony gel diffusion.

The major protein (GMP) from the roots of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer was purified, using gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography followed by reversed-phase and ion exchange FPLC. Staining analysis indicated that the protein has a carbohydrate moiety, which was also shown by band shift experiments using various glycosidases. Electrophoretic and gel permeation studies showed that GMP has an apparent molecular weight of 63 kDa composed of possibly two subunits of 25 kDa containing carbohydrate moiety. GMP showed an anticomplementary activity on the hemolysis of red blood cells, which is a screening tool for inflammation mediator search.

In this paper, we propose a new caching strategy for web servers. The proposed strategy collects only the statistics of the requested file, for example the popularity, when a request arrives. At a point of time, only files with higher forecasted popularity are cached all together. Forecasted popularity based lazy caching (FPLC) strategy uses exponential smoothing method for forecast popularity of web files. And, FPLC strategy shows that the cache hit ratio and the cache transfer ratio are better than those produced by other caching strategy. Furthermore, the experiment that is performed with real log files built from web servers shows our study on forecast method for popularity of web files improves cache efficiency.

These experiments were undertaken as a basic study to understand the role of cumulus cell on in vitro maturation and fertilization process with identifying the cumulus cell-secreted proteins. By sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) and fast protein liquid chromatography(FPLC), the proteins of cumulus cells were identified. The results obtained in these experiments were summarized as follows ; 1. When the proteins secreted from cultured cell for 30 hours were separated by SDS-PAGE, there were a major band (>94,000) and other minor 2 bands with molecular weight ranging 30,000∼67,000 dalton. 2. In addition, the fractionations of these proteins by FPLC were idirectly shown that three bands were hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and heparin.

To separate ACE inhibitors from edible plants, spices, and herbs, 285 extracts of 95 sources were screened for ACE inhibitory activity. The extract of Sinapis alba L. had the most potent ACE inhibitory activity. Mustard seeds were crushed homogeneously and extracted with hexane and water successively. Lyophilized water extract was fractionated with $H_2O$:butanol(1:1). The ACE inhibitor was purified from butanol fraction by methanol precipi-tation, gel filtration, HPLC, and FPLC with Superdex peptide HQ 10/30 column. The active fraction has been purified to homogeneity, which was proven by gel filtration using FPLC system. The yield was 0.02%. The com-pound has a molecular weight of about 640. The compound competitively inhibited ACE activity and the $IC_{50}$ value was 79$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. The purified compound showed uterus contraction activity in isolated rat uterus.

IgY (Immunoglobulin Yolk) in egg yolk corresponds to IgG (Immunoglobulin G) in animal serum and plays an important role as immunological proteins in intestines. Carrageenan and Arabic gum were used as pretreatment agents to purify IgY from fresh egg yolk. DEAE (Diethylaminoethyl) Sepharose column in FPLC (Fast Protein Liquid chromatography) was an ion exchange tool to remove contaminants as well as to elute IgY from the column. GF HPLC (Gel Filtration High Performance Liquid Chromatography) enables to measure the molecular weights of IgY and to identify the purified IgY by comparing the molecular weight of standard IgY with the purified one. IgY is a heterogeneous group of different molecular weight and ionic properties, which was investigated with various IE HPLC (Ion Exchange High Performance Liquid Chromatography) columns such as AX, CX and SCX. Three peaks of IgY were separated in the AX column under the conditions of 0.5 M NaCl and pH=8. The SCX column also gave the three peaks of IgY at 0.5 M NaCl and pH=5.

Various methods such as lel-mtration on Sephadex G-SO, 75, 100 Sephacry, and Ultro gel, and lon-exchanle chromatoaraphy on Amberilte and carboxymethyl (CM)-cellulose, and Fast Protein liquid Chromatolraphy (FPLC) were applied for the purification of enterotoxin B from Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 14458 and compared one another. lon-exchanle chromatography on Amberllte resin was good enough to remove non-entrotoxln materials in culture, convlnient to use and fast although tbe purity was less tban 70%. However, CM-cellulose showed to be better purity and yield tban those of Amberilte resin. The yields of these two resins for ion-exchange cbromatograpby were about 70% and 75%, respectively. When the gel-filtration methods on Sepbadex G-50, 75, 100, Sepbacryl, and Ultro lei were applied, the purities were about 90%. FPLC was found to be tbe most efficient metbod in terms of purity (96%) and speed. For the purification of sample with large volume, particularly, tbe combined metbod, gel-mtration after Amberlite can be also used efficiently. Tbe purified toxin was found to be identical to type B enterotoxin used for reference standard by Oucbterlony immunodiffusion test.
