한국에서 자생한 자연산 tumor 조직과 근권토양으로부터 형질전환율이 높은 hypervirulent Agrobacterium spp를 분리하기 위해서 Salix, Diospyros, Populus 및 Malus에서 형성된 tumor 조직과 근권토양을 채취하괴 Schroth 선택배지와 New and Kerr 배지를 이용하여 78 균주의 colony를 특성에 따라 분리하였다. 이중에서 48 균주가 당근 disc에서 tumor를 형성하였으며 tumor를 형성한 균주중 형성시기가 빠르며 크기가 커 hypervirulent 균주로 생각되는 A. tumefaciens SP101을 biotype 1, 그리고 A. tumefaciens SM042를 biotype 2로 동정하였다. 토양중에서 선발한 A. tumefaciens SM042와 disarmed A. tumefaciens PC2760에 kanamycin 저항성 유전자를 함유하고 있는 binary vector pGA643을 도입하여 conjugant인 A. tumefaciens SM643과 A. tumefaciens PC643을 kanamycin과 tetracycline이 함유된 최소배지에서 획득하였다. 연초의 형질전환을 위해서 conjugant Agrobacterium과 연초조직을 동시배양 후 2,4-D와 kanamycin이 함유된 선발배지에 치상하여 형질전환을 유도한 결과 A. tumefaciens SM643이 A. tumefaciens PC643보다 더 많은 캘러스가 형성되었다. 그러나 A. tumefaciens PC643을 사용한 형질전환 캘러스는 대부분 friable한 캘러스로 유도되었으며 정상적으로 식물체로 생장하였으나 A. tumefaciens SM643을 사용한 캘러스는 매우 딱딱하며 둥그런 형태의 캘러스와 friable한 캘러스가 혼재한 상태로 생장하였으며, 이중에서 friable한 캘러스는 정상적인 shoot가 형성되었으나 딱딱한 캘러스로 유도된 형질전환체는 식물체로 형성되지 않고 반구형 미색의 전형적인 tumor 캘러스로 생장하였다. 한편 형질전환시 캘러스를 유도하지 않고 직접 shoot를 형성시킨 결과 disarmed Ti-plasmid를 사용하지 않고 wild-type Ti-plasmid를 사용해도 정상적인 형질전환체를 획득할 수 있었다.

Clostridium difficile infection has been increasing since 2000 in children and in adults. Frequent antibiotics use, comorbidity, and the development of hypervirulent strains have increased the risk of infection. Despite the high carriage rates of C. difficile, infants rarely develop clinical infection. Discontinuing antibiotics and supportive management usually leads to resolution of disease. Antibiotics use should be stratified depending on the patient's age and severity of the disease.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is known to cause an invasive syndrome characterized by primary liver abscess associated with metastatic infection. The characteristics of the metastatic infection involving the musculoskeletal system in this invasive syndrome are not well understood. The authors present a case report of a patient who developed abscesses of the lower extremities along with abscesses of multiple organs, such as the liver and eye, caused by K. pneumoniae. The patient was diagnosed early, and the infection was successfully controlled after several surgical treatments.

These studies were carred out to obtain the transformant from tobacco cells by Agrobacterium spp. from crown gall and soil at the natural field in Korea, and identified their virulence. Kodo's and Clark's selective media were used for isolation of Agrobacterium spp. In these media, total of 99 strains were characterized based on the morphological characteristics of colonies. Among them 34 strains were able to induce on carrot discs. And hypervirulent strains C23-1 and K29-1 were identified as Agrobacterium tumefaciens biotype 1 and biotype 2, respectively. These strains formed fast growing, larger gall as compared to those induced by other strains on the carrot discs. Transformed tobacco callus was initiated on the phytohormone free MS medium with 250$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml carbenicillin after co-cultivation of tobacco stem explants and Agrobacteria. On the phytohormone free media, shoot was rarely formed from transformed callus. However, these shoot were teratoma shoots which were not grown as normal shoot, and teratoma shoot from transformant by C23-1 was smaller than that of K29-1.

고등식물의 형질전환용 유전자운반체로써 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 Ti-plasmid를 이용해서 당근세포를 형질 전환시키기 위한 연구의 일환으로 Agrobacterium spp를 helper로 이용하여 NPT II gene를 함유하고 있는 binary vector GA472를 당근세포에 삽입시켜 kanamycin에 대해 저항성을 나타내는 세포주를 선발하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 국내 토양에서 선발한 A.tumefaciens 2종과 disarmes된 PC2760 그리고 hypervirulent균주인 A281에 tri-parental mating 방법에 의해서 binary vector인 pGA472을 도입하여 transconjungants인 A. tumefaciens c-23-1/pGA472,K29-1/pGA472, PC2760/PGA472 그리고 A281/pGA472를 획득하였다. Transconjungants는 plasmid의 분리, 정제방법에 의해서 추출한 후 0.7% agarose gel 상에서 관찰해 본 결과 4균주 공히 NTPII gene이 삽입된 pGA472와 Ti-plasmid를 함유하고 있는 것을 확인 하였다. 확인된 conjugant와 당근정상조직을 동시배양방법에 의해서 형질전환을 유도한 후 정상조직은 전혀 생존이 되지않은 kanamycin에 대해서 저항을 나타내는 callus를 선발할 수 있었다.

Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine is the only licensed vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) prevention. Previously, our group demonstrated the vaccine potential of Rv0351 and Rv3628 against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection by directing Th1-biased CD4⁺ T cells co-expressing IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-2 in the lungs. Here, we assessed immunogenicity and vaccine potential of the combined Ags (Rv0351/Rv3628) formulated in different adjuvants as subunit booster in BCG-primed mice against hypervirulent clinical Mtb strain K (Mtb K). Compared to BCG-only or subunit-only vaccine, BCG prime and subunit boost regimen exhibited significantly enhanced Th1 response. Next, we evaluated the immunogenicity to the combined Ags when formulated with four different types of monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL)-based adjuvants: 1) dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide (DDA), MPL, and trehalose dicorynomycolate (TDM) in liposome form (DMT), 2) MPL and Poly I:C in liposome form (MP), 3) MPL, Poly I:C, and QS21 in liposome form (MPQ), and 4) MPL and Poly I:C in squalene emulsion form (MPS). MPQ and MPS displayed greater adjuvancity in Th1 induction than DMT or MP did. Especially, BCG prime and subunit-MPS boost regimen significantly reduced the bacterial loads and pulmonary inflammation against Mtb K infection when compared to BCG-only vaccine at a chronic stage of TB disease. Collectively, our findings highlighted the importance of adjuvant components and formulation to induce the enhanced protection with an optimal Th1 response.
