In order to evaluate the antiallergic effects of CSYJT, studies were done. We measured the cytotoxic activity for cytokines transcript expression, production of IL-4, IgE, $IFN-{\gamma}$, proliferation of B cell in HRF plus anti-CD40mAb plus rIL-4 stimulated murine splenic B cells. and cytokines transcript expression of IgE in Mast cell The results were obtained as follows: 1. CSYJT decreased the expression of IL-4 in mast cell significantly. 2. CSYJT decreased the production of IL-4 significantly. 3. CSYJT decreased the expression of IgE in mast cell significantly. 4. CSYJT decreased the production of IgE significantly. 5. CSYJT increased the appearance of $IFN-{\gamma}$. The facts above prove that CSYJT is effective against the allergy. Thus, I think that we should study on this continuously.

Objectives : To investigate the immunological activities, we evaluated the combination ratio of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata and Glycyrrhizae Radix (AG) on murine macrophage cell line (RAW 264.7) and ovalbumin/aluminium (OVA/Alum)-immunized mice. Methods : The cellular proliferation and the production of nitric oxide were examined in a macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7 cells, in the presence of the combination ratio of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata and Glycyrrhizae Radix. C57BL/6 mice were immunized intraperitonially with ovalbumin/aluminium ($100{\mu}g/200{\mu}g$) on day 1, 8, and 15. The combination ratio of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata and Glycyrrhizae Radix (1 g/kg/day) was orally administrated for 3 weeks. On day 22, splenocyte and plasma were collected for mitogen-induced proliferation, lymphocyte subpopulation by flow cytometry and measurement of AST (Aspirate aminotransferase), ALT (Alanine aminotransferase), and antibodies (OVA-specific antibodies of the IgG, IgG1, and total IgM classes). Results : Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata treatment had no influence on immune responses. The proliferation and NO production of macrophage and proliferation of splenocyte were increased as the higher ratio of Glycrrhizae Radix. The proliferation of splenocyte, lymphocyte subpopulation and production of antibody (total IgM, OVA-specific IgG and OVA-specific IgG1) were increased as the higher ratio of Glycrrhizae Radix on OVA-immunzed mice. Conclusions : These results suggest that the higher ratio of Glycyrrhizae Radix can increase immunological activities such as NO production in RAW264.7 cells, splenocyte proliferation and immunoglobulin production in OVA-immunized mice.

Objectives : It has been recently shown that Piperis Longi Fructus (PLF) is involved in the reduction of eosinophil recruitment and production of Th2 cytokines in vivo. However, the main therapeutic mechanisms of PLF remains a matter of considerable debate. To investigate the therapeutic mechanisms of PLF, we examined the influence of PLF on regulatory T cells number, IgE, histamine production in vivo and Th1/Th2 cytokine balance in vitro. Methods : All mice were immunized on two different days (21 days and 7 days before inhalational exposure) by i.p. injections of 0.2 $m\ell$ alum-precipitated Ag containing 100 ${\mu}g$ of OVA bound to 4 mg of aluminum hydroxide in PBS. Seven days after the second sensitization, mice were exposed to aerosolized ovalbumin for 30 min/day on 3 days/week for 12 weeks(at a flow rate of 250 L/min, 2.5％ ovalbumin in normal saline) and PLF (150 mg/kg) were orally administered 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Splenocytes from C57BL/6 mice at 8 weeks of age were stimulated with anti-CD3 (1 mg/ml) plus anti-CD28 (1 mg/ml) antibody for 48hrs. IL-4 and IFN-$\gamma$ in the culture supernatants were measured by ELISA Results : The suppressive effects of PLF on asthma model were demonstrated by the increase the number of regulatory T cells and by reducing IgE, histamine production in vivo and modulation of Th1/Th2 cytokine balance. Conclusions : These results indicate that PLF has a deep inhibitory effects on asthma model mice by increase the number of regulatory T cells, and by reducing IgE, histamine production.

삼환계 항우울제들은 calmodulin 억제 작용을 갖고 있으며, 칼슘 유입, 산화성 인산화 반응 및 ATPase 활성도를 억제하는 것으로 제시되고 있지만 사람 호중구에서의 기능 표현에 대한 효과는 밝혀져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 amitriptyline, imipramine과 doxepine이 superoxide와 $H_2O_2$ 생성, myeloperoxidase 유리, leukotriene $B_4$ 생성과 세포내 칼슘의 상승에 나타나는 효과를 조사하였다. 변성된 IgG에 의하여 활성화된 호중구에서 superoxide와 $H_2O_2$ 생성은 amitriptyline, imipramine과 doxepine에 의하여 억제되었고 EDTA, EGTA, verapamil과 bepredil은 superoxide 생성을 억제하였다. Chlorpromazine, trifluoperazine, staurosporine 및 H-7 또한 superoxide 생성을 억제하였다. PMA에 의한 superoxide 생성은 amitriptyline, imipramine과 doxepine, chlorpromazine과 H-7에 의하여 억제되었다. Amitriptyline, imipramine, chlorpromazine과 trifluoperazine은 변성된 IgG에 의한 myeloperoxidase 유리를 억제하였다. 변성된 IgG에 의하여 활성화된 호중구에서 $LTB_4$와 5-HETE 형성은 amitriptyline, imipramine과 doxepine에 의하여 억제되었다. 변성된 IgG에 의한 세포내 칼슘의 증가는 amitriptyline, imipramine, doxepine, chlorpromazine과 EGTA에 의하여 억제되었고, verapamil은 세포내 칼슘의 증가를 약간 억제하였으나 H-7은 세포내 칼슘의 증가에 영향이 없었다. 이상의 결과로부터 변성된 IgG에 의하여 활성화된 호중구에서의 respiratory burst, myeloperoxidase 유리와 LTB, 생성에 대한 amitriptyline, imipramine과 doxepine의 억제효과는 칼슘동원, calmodulin과 protein kinase C의 억제에 기인할 것으로 추정된다.

Polyclonal antibodies labeled with a tracer have been commonly used as secondary antibodies in immunochemical assays to quantify the concentration of antibody-antigen complexes. The majority of these antibodies conjugated with a tracer are commercially available, with the exception of few untouched targets. This study focused on the production and application of mouse anti-quail IgY as an intermediate antibody to link between quail egg yolk IgY and goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP as primary and secondary antibodies, respectively. Subsequently, the produced mouse anti-quail IgY was labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and its efficiency on enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was compared with that of commercial rabbit anti-chicken IgY-HRP. As an intermediate antibody, mouse anti-quail IgY was successfully produced with good affinity and sensitivity (1:10,000) to the primary and secondary antibodies. Subsequently, mouse anti-quail IgY was effectively conjugated with HRP enzyme, resulting in a secondary antibody with good sensitivity (1:10,000) to quail anti-V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus IgY. The detection limit was $10^5$ CFU/ml for both V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus. The efficiency of the produced conjugate to detect quail IgY on ELISA was comparable to that of the commercial rabbit anti-chicken IgY-HRP, and hence the produced and labeled mouse anti-quail IgY-HRP can be used as a secondary antibody to detect any antibody produced in quail.

In this study, recombinant Fc-fused Prostate acid phosphatase (PAP) proteins were produced in transgenic plants. PAP was fused to immunoglobulin (Ig) A and M Fc domain (PAP-IgA Fc and PAP-IgM Fc), which were tagged to the ER retention sequence KDEL to generate PAP-IgA FcK and PAP-IgM FcK. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation was performed to produce transgenic tobacco plants expressing four recombinant proteins. Genomic PCR and RT-PCR analyses confirmed the transgene insertion and mRNA transcription of PAP-IgA Fc, PAP-IgM Fc, PAP-IgA FcK, and PAP-IgM FcK in tobacco plant leaves. Western blot confirmed the expression of PAP-IgA Fc, PAP-IgM Fc, PAP-IgA FcK, and PAP-IgM FcK proteins. SEC-HPLC and Bio-TEM analyses were performed to confirm the size and shape of the plant-derived recombinant PAP-Fc fusion proteins. In mice experiments, the plant-derived IgA and IgM Fc fused proteins induced production of total IgGs including IgG1 against PAP. This result suggests that IgA and IgM Fc fusion can be applied to produce recombinant PAP proteins as a prostate cancer vaccine in plant expression system.

본 연구는, Vibrio parahaemolyticus에 대한 면역 글로블린 Y(IgY)를 생산하기 위하여 시행되었다. Vibrio parahaemolyticus는 중요한 병원성 균이며, 위장염을 유발시키는 원인 균이다. 따라서, 난황에서 Vibrio parahaemolyticus에 대한 항체를 생산하기 위하여 항원 LPS(lipopolysaccharide)를 암탉에 주사하였다. 면역은 2주 간격으로 4차까지 실시하였으며, 추가면역으로 2주 간격으로 3차까지 실시한 후 ELISA로 그 항체 역가를 측정하였다. 난황에서의 항체생성은 1차 면역 후 1주일부터 나타나기 시작하였으며, 7주에 최고 역가에 도달하였고, 이러한 역가는 13주 이후까지 지속되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 혈청에서의 항체 역가도 난황에서의 경향과 유사하였다. 정제시킨 IgY를 본 연구의 water-dilution방법과 상업용 IgY분리 kit로 그 정제 정도를 비교해본 격과 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았으며, Vibrio parahaemolyticus외의 다른 Vibrio 속 및 세균들과의 교차반응성 조사에서 특별한 교차반응이 없었다. 본 연구에 나타난 결과로, 아주 적은 양의 LPS 항원으로 역가가 높은 항체의 생산이 가능하였으며, 이러한 결과들로 보아 난황은 유행성 위장염을 유발하는 병원성 균의 특이 항체 개발을 위한 좋은 공급원이 될 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the systemic and local production of immunoglobulins and their levels in patients with periapical cysts using Enzyme - Linked Immunosorbent Assay. Streptococcus sanguis, Bacteroides gingivalis, and Bacteroides intermedius were grown for use as antigen and they were harvested by centrifugation. The patients were divided into two groups: patients of periapical cysts and normal control. 5 patients of each group were selected and their blood were obtained via intravenous puncture prior to surgical operation. Sera were prepared by centrifugation of each blood samples. Cyst fluid were aspirated from cystic cavity and cyst wall were excised at operation. Control tissue were also excised at extraction site of impacted wisdom teeth from normal control. Each tissue was prepared by homogenization and centrifugation. Then antibodies of each sample were measured by modified ELISA. The following results were obtained: 1. Serum IgG and IgM levels were not significantly different between patients with periapical cyst and normal control. 2. IgG and IgM levels of cyst fluid to Bacteroides gingivalis and Bacteroides intermedius were significantly higher than those of serum of patients with periapical cyst, but there was no significant difference to Streptococcus sanguis. 3. IgG and IgM levels of cyst wall to Bacteroides gingivalis and Bacteroides intermedius were significantly higher than those of control tissue, but there was no significant difference to Streptococcus sanguis. 4. IgG and IgM levels in cyst fluid and IgG levels in cyst wall were highest to Bacteroides gingivalis, and IgM levels in cyst wall were highest to Bacteroides intermedius.
