각종 균에 대한 침강항체 양성율 (1) 조사대상자 285명 중 104명(36.49%)이 각종 진균에 대한 침강항체를 가지고 있었다. (2) 진균종별로는 침강항체 양성자 104명 중 두 균종 이상의 항원에 대한 양성자를 포함하여 A. fumigatus에 대해 64명 (61.54%) C. albicans에 대해 49명 (47.12%)이었고 A. flavus와 A. niger 및 A. nidlans는 $1{\sim}3$명으로 극소수였다. (3) 성별양성율 빈도는 남성의 경우 A. fumigatus가 24.26% C. albicans가 12.43%인데 비해 여성의 경우 A. fumigatus가 19.83%, C. albicans가 24.14%로서 남성의 경우는 A. fumigatus에 대한 항체가가, 여성의 경우는 C. albicans에 대한 항체가가 높게 나타나 상호 유의성이 있었다(P<0.05). (4) 연령별 양성율의 분포는 $40{\sim}49$세 연령군이 49.12%로서 제일 높았고 $50{\sim}59$세 연령군(43.33%), $30{\sim}39$세 연령군(34.09%), 60세 이상 연령군(31.11%), $20{\sim}29$세 연령군(26.00%) 순이었다. 형광항체반응에 의한 항체검출 (1) 균배양시간에 따른 균체표면 항원의 감수성 간접 형광항체반응으로 조사한 결과 배양시간에 따른 차이점은 관찰할 수 없었다. (2) Aspergillosis 환자의 혈청내에 존재하는 A. fumigatus 항체는 IgG가 가장 많았으므로 간접형광항체반응을 이용한 Aspergillosis 진단시 FITC-labeled anti-lgG를 사용하여야 될 것으로 생각된다. (3) Aspergillosis 속의 균사체 표면항원은 간접 형광항체 반응을 이용하여 항체를 정출시 균종간에 교차반응이 심해서 교차반응 항체를 제거한 후 사용하여 야 될 것으로 사료된다. (4) Aspergillosis 진단에 사용되는 면역학적인방법 중 면역확산법 특이성이 높은데 비해 감수성이 낮고 간접 형광항체반응법은 감수성은 높은데 비해 특이성이 낮으므로 검사목적에 따라 2가지방법을 적절히 병용하는 것이 좋다고 생각된다.

Flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) Immunoglobulins (Igs) were purified from the serum of mouse IgG-immunized flounder by using affinity chromatography. Under denaturing conditions in SDS-PAGE, the flounder Igs appeared to be composed of 2 heavy (H) chains (72 and 77 kDa) and two light (L) chains (26 and 28 kDa). Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced by the fusion of myeloma cells (SP2/0) with Balb/c mouse spleen cells that were previously sensitized against affinity-purified flounder Igs. In a Western blot analysis, the produced MAbs, FIM511, FIM519, and FIM562 recognized both the 72 and 77 kDa H chains, 26 kDa, and 28 kDa L chain, respectively. Mouse antiserum against flounder Igs reacted more strongly with the L chain of 28 kDa than with 26 kDa, suggesting that the 28 kDa molecule is more immunogenic than the 26 kDa L chain molecule. In a FACS analysis, the ratios of the Ig+ cell population in the flounder head kidney and spleen cells were 49% and 24%, respectively. Unexpectedly, however, the ratios of the Ig+ B-like cell population in the flounder were not significantly augmented, even after the immunization of an immunogenic antigen. This suggests that the humoral immune response in fish could be considerably different from that in mammals. The produced MAbs in this study would be useful in characterizing flounder Ig+ B-like cells and in developing flounder Ig detecting an immunoassay system.

Objective: This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of golden needle mushroom (Flammulina velutipes) stem waste (FVW), on organic eggs production, calcium utilization, antibody response, serum immunoglobulin, and serum cytokine concentration at early phase of production in laying hens. Methods: A total 210, 19 weeks old aged ISA Brown layers were randomly assigned into 5 equal treatment groups, with 7 replications of 6 hens each. Dietary treatment included a standard basal diet as control; antibiotic (0.05% flavomycin); 2% FVW; 4% FVW; and 6% FVW. The experimental duration was 10 weeks. Results: There was no significant differences (p>0.05) on hen day egg production, egg weight, egg mass, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) among experimental groups. Unmarketable eggs were significantly lower (p<0.05) both in 4% FVW and 6% FVW fed groups than control group. The calcium retention and calcium in egg shell deposition were significantly higher (p<0.05) in FVW inclusion groups than control and antibiotic groups. Antibody titers against Newcastle diseases were significantly higher (p<0.05) in 6% FVW fed group (except combined with 4% FVW at day 147) and infectious bronchitis were significantly higher (p<0.05) in FVW fed groups (except 2% FVW and 4% FVW at day 161) than control and antibiotic groups. Serum immunoglobulin sIgA was significantly higher (p<0.05) in all levels of FVW and IgG was significantly higher (p<0.05) in 4% FVW than control and antibiotic groups. Serum cytokine concentration interleukin-2 (IL-2) was significantly higher (p<0.05) in 6% FVW; IL-6 and tumor necrotic $factor-{\alpha}$ were significantly higher (p<0.05) both in 4% FVW and 6% FVW than control and antibiotic groups; IL-4 was significantly higher (p<0.05) in antibiotic, 2% FVW and 4% FVW fed groups than control. Conclusion: F. velutipes mushroom waste can be used as a novel substitute for antibiotic for organic egg production and sound health status in laying hens.

To evaluate the immunomodulatory activity of a water extract (KMF-WE) of Korean mistletoe (Viscum album var. coloratum) fruit, we examined its ability to induce humoral and cellular immune response against keyhole limpet hemocyanine (KLH). Immunized mice with KLH admixed with KMF-WE (KLH/KMF-WE) showed significant induction of KLH-specific antibodies compared to mice immunized with KLH alone. The assay for determining isotypes of antibodies revealed that KMFWE augmented KLH-specific-IgG1 and -IgG2a production. In vitro T lymphocyte proliferation analysis against KLH revealed that the splenocytes of mice immunized with KLH/KMF-WE showed a significantly higher proliferative ability than those from mice immunized with KLH alone. The culture supernatants of splenocytes, which were harvested from mice immunized with KLH/KMF-WE, showed higher levels of both Th-1 type (IL-2, IFN-${\gamma}$) and Th-2 type (IL-4) cytokines in response to KLH stimulation compared to those from mice immunized with KLH alone. Also, in delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) assay, mice immunized with KLH/KMF-WE showed a significantly higher reaction to KLH than mice treated with KLH alone. These results suggest that KMF-WE possess immunoadjuvant activity to enhance both antigen-specific humoral and cellular immune responses against protein antigens (KLH).

The present study was performed to evaluate how cellular and humoral immune responses were perturbed by immunization of mixed periodontal bacterial biofilms. Each group of mice was immunizared with 1) Poqhyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivaliis) grown as a planktonic culture, 2) Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum), 3) P. gingivalis grown as a biofilm, or 4) mixed P. gingivalis plus F. nucleatum grown as a biofilm culture, respectively. Immune mouse sera were collected from each mouse. Spleens were harvested to isolate T cells and consequently stimulated with antigen presenting cells and P. gingivalis whole cell antigen to establish P. gingivalis-specific T cell lines. There were no significant differences in the mean anti- gingivalis IgG antibody titers among mouse groups. Immunization of mice with pure P. gingivalis biofilm or mixed P gingivalis plus F. nucleatum biofilm resulted in significant reduction o f antibody avidity and opsonophagocytois function. INF-$\gamma$production by P. gingivalis-specific T cell lines was also substantially recluced in mouse groups immunized with the biofilm. It was concluded that P. gingivalis biofilm perturbs the cellular and humoral immune responses in periodontal disease.

배경: 동물조직의 생체조직이식시 이종항원 물질인 알파-갈(${\alpha}$-Galactose) 항원결정인자에 대한 환자의 면역반응에 많은 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이에 이종 판막 이식 후 체내에서 ${\alpha}$-Galactose에 대하여 면역반응이 발현하는 것으로 알려져 있는 면역글로불린 G, M (IgG, IgM)의 변화를 일반적인 혈액 검사에 의한 혈중 농도를 측정하여 면역반응의 정도를 예측할 수 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2006년 3월부터 2007년 1월까지, 개심술 환자를 대상으로 하여(이종 판막 이식 환자 (실험군, 10명), 이종 장기가 이식되지 않은 환자(대조군, 9명)) 전향적 연구를 시행하였다. 환자의 나이는 $10.3{\pm}9.1$세, 체중은 $31.4{\pm}20.3kg$이었다. 환자들에게서 수술 전, 수술 후 2일째, 수술 후 10일째에 일반적인 혈액 채취를 통하여 IgM, G의 혈중 농도를 측정하였다. 수술 이전에 이종 장기가 이식되어있던 환자들과 그렇지 않았던 환자들을 비교하여 면역 글로불린의 수술 전 기저치에 차이가 있는지, 그리고 이러한 이전의 상태가 수술 후 면역 글로불린의 혈중 농도 변화에 영향을 주었는지 통계학적으로 분석하였으며, 얻어진 혈중 농도로 두 군 간에 수술 후 면역 글로불린의 혈중 농도 변화와 정도에 차이가 있는지를 통계학적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 술전 이종 장기가 이식되어 있던 환자들과 그렇지 않은 환자들 사이에 면역글로불린의 혈중 농도에는 차이가 없었다(IgG; p-value=1.00, IgM; p-value=0.898). IgG, M 모두 실험군과 대조군 각 군 내에서 수술 전에 비하여 수술 후 2일째 혈중 농도가 감소하였다가 이후 다시 증가하는 일정한 변화의 경향을 보였고, 그 변화 정도가 시간에 따라 통계학적으로 의미 있게 달라졌다. 그러나 실험군과 대조군 사이에는 그 변화의 정도, 경향에 의미있는 차이가 없었다(IgG; p-value=0.393, IgM; p-value=0.193). 결론: 이종조직 판막이식 후 혈액 채취를 통해 얻은 혈중 농도 변화는 이종조직판막 이식을 하지 않는 수술을 받은 환자와 차이가 없었다. 이것은 면역 글로불린의 혈중 농도 변화 정도가 술 후 양 군 간에 차이가 없다기보다는, 일상적인 혈액 채취를 통한 면역 글로불린의 혈중 농도 측정으로는 면역 반응에 의한 면역 글로불린의 변화를 측정하기 어렵기 때문이라고 생각한다. 따라서 이종조직판막이식 후의 이종동물항원에 대한 면역반응의 체내 변화를 관찰하기 위해서는 직접적인 ${\alpha}$-Galactose에 대한 항체의 측정이 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

The study evaluated whether a transgenic carrot vaccine could induce a K88-specific immune response in sows and whether the resultant maternal antibody could protect piglets against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88ac infection. Sows (n = 15) selected randomly from a farm in Korea were assigned to three groups (n = 5 per group: control [untreated]), group A (orally inoculated with a nontransgenic and transgenic carrot vaccines at 2 and 4 weeks ante partum, respectively), and group B (conventionally vaccinated according to the manufacturer's instructions). After 7 days of lactation, 5 piglets selected randomly from each group were challenged with $1{\times}10^{10}$ colony forming units/mL ETEC K88ac. Group C had the lowest mean fecal consistency score on post-challenge days 1 and 7. Histiologically, On post-challenge day 7, group C showed an increased duodenum and ileum villus:crypt ratio, compared to group A in the duodenum, with group B displaying the highest ratio. Groups B and C had more increased villus width than group A in the jejunum. Group C displayed the greatest increase in villus width in the ileum. The colostrums and serum from groups B and C displayed higher concentrations of IgA and IgG against ETEC K88, compared to group A. Based on the results, it was concluded that the transgenic carrot vaccine in sow per oral may have an effect on preventing piglet diarrhea as good as commercial recombinant vaccine.

개의 아토피성 피부염의 주된 세균성 감염은 Staphylococcus intermedius에 의해 발생한다. 본 연구의 목적은 아토피성 피부염을 가지고 있는 환견의 혈청과 정상견의 혈청을 이용하여 체액성 면역반응을 유발하는 주된 세균단백질을 규명하는데 있다. 건국대학교 수의과대학 부속동물병원에 내원한 아토피성 피부염 및 표재성 세균성 농피증을 앓고 있는 환견의 혈청 및 정상견의 혈청을 분리하여 본 실험에 사용하였으며 아토피성 피부염을 가지고 있는 환견에서 S. intermedius 균을 분리하였다. Brain heart infusion 액체배지 조건 및 $37^{\circ}C$ 배양조건에서 호기상태로 증균시켰으며 증균후 포도상구균을 PBS완충액에 부유시킨후 원심분리하고 최종적으로 lysostaphin을 이용하여 세균단백질을 분리하였다. 수거한 세균단백질은 SDS-PAGE을 이용하여 단백질을 전기영동하였으며 영동후 nitrocellulose membrane을 이용하여 단백질을 이동시켰다. Western blot은 anti-dog-IgG, 아토피성 피부염의 혈청 및 정상혈청을 이용하였다. 결론적으로 아토피성 피부염의 혈청을 이용해 확인한 S. intermedius의 주요 세균단백질은 18, 31, 75, 및 110 kDa이였다. 현재의 연구결과로 볼 때 아토피성 피부염에 감염된 대부분의 환견은 S. intermedius의 세균단백질에 대한 체액성 면역반응이 유발된다고 생각된다.

Dieary effects of sea tangle on immune functions were investigated in diabetic mice. Four groups of ICR mice weighing 33.36$\pm$1.01 g were fed either an AIN-76 diet only (control), or with additional sea tangle powder, sea tangle water extract, and alginate at the level of 13.6%, 4%, and 1%, respectively by weight. Cellulose was omitted in sea tangle powder and alginate diets. After 10 days of feeding respective experimental diets, all mice were made diabetic by five consecutive intramuscular injections of streptozotocin (40mg/kg body weight per day) and fed the diets for four more weeks. Plasma IgG concentrations but not those of IgM were significantly higher in mice fed sea tangle powder, extract or alginate than those on the control diet. Plasma TNF$\alpha$ levels were, however, lower in those fed sea tangle power or water extract than control and alginate fed groups. TNF$\alpha$ releases from macro phages isolated from four groups and cultured with 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL LPS for 24 hors showed a similar tendency to the results of plasma concentrations in the respective groups, but IL-1$\beta$ releases were not different among four groups. Lymphocyte proliferation in response to LPS (10$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL) measured using splenocytes cultured for 3 days was highest in the alginate fed group (594$\pm$38%) and those of sea tangle powder (536$\pm$47%) and extract (547$\pm$34%) fed groups tended to be higher than the control (523$\pm$30%). It is concluded that sea tangle contains immunomodulatory components besides alginate that could enhance humoral immunity of itself. The immunomodulatory effects of sea tangle constituents is regarded as beneficial for diabetic subjects.

Despite regular vaccinations, equine influenza virus (EIV) and Streptococcus equi subsp. equi (strangles) are the cause of highly contagious respiratory infections in horses. Many recent studies have reported that the concurrent administration of two vaccines could simplify horse management and minimize veterinary expenses. However, there is little information available regarding the efficacy of concurrent vaccinations against EIV and strangles. In this study, we evaluated EIV-specific antibody responses following the single EIV vaccination with the recombinant viral-vectored EIV vaccine or concurrent vaccination with the EIV and inactivated strangles vaccines. Blood samples were collected at 1-, 2-, 4-, and 8 weeks post-immunization (wpi) from each group. EIV-specific antibodies were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay. Both single and concurrent vaccination showed similar levels of EIV-specific serum immunoglobulin g (IgG) at 1 and 2 wpi. However, at 4 to 8 wpi, the EIV-only vaccination group showed significantly higher serum IgG levels than those from the concurrently vaccinated group. The HAI titers showed similar trends as the ELISA data, except at 8 wpi when both groups presented HAI titers with no significant differences. These data demonstrate that the concurrent vaccination against EIV and strangles could compromise the humoral immune response to equine influenza between vaccination intervals, which suggests the use of the consecutive vaccination protocol for EIV and strangles rather than concurrent vaccination.
