본 연구는 한우송아지 모축의 포육능력별 육성률과 밀접한 관계가 있는 혈중 성장면역관련물질, 증체 및 질병 발병율을 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 시험축은 축산연구소에서 다형성 발굴을 위해 보유중인 계통조성축으로부터 생산된 한우 송아지 40두를 공시하여 모축의 포육능력에 따라 고능력과 저능력구에 각각 20두씩 배치하여 두 개의 처리구를 두었다. 송아지 혈중 IGF-I, RBC, Ca 및 IP 농도는 생후 5일령에서 RBC 농도가 고능력 처리구에서 높게 조사된 것을 제외하고는, 전 시험기간 동안 이들 물질의 농도는 송아지 모축의 포육능력에 상관없이 두 처리구간 유사하였다. 한편, 송아지 혈중 IgG, albumin, total protein 및 GGT 농도는 모축의 포육능력에 상관없이 두 시험구간 유사하였으며, 반면에 이들 물질 중 total protein이 조사 기간 동안 일정 농도를 유지한 것을 제외하고는, IgG, albumin 및 GGT 농도는 송아지 생시 및 생후 일령에 의한 영향을 받았다. 송아지 체중은 모축 포육능력에 의한 직접적인 영향은 없었지만, 고능력 시험구에서 이유후 6개월령까지 체중이 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 호흡기 질병과 설사 발병율은 고능력 시험구에서 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 한우의 포육능력은 포유기 및 이유 후 송아지의 성장과 면역에 부분적 영향을 미치며, 질병에 대한 면역력 증진에 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.

In previous studies we reported that the levels of RBC, hemoglobulin and hematocrit in SAM Rl and SAM P6 were increased significantly from 7 day after oral administration of the pilose antler extract, 5g/kg/day, and were lasted during the study. Therefore, this study was performed to elucidate mechanism of erythropoietic action by the extract administration. SAM Rl and SAM P6 were chosen as experimental animals. At age of 12 weeks, pilose antler extract were given 0.3 and 5 g/kg/day (p.o.) each for 0, 7 and 14 days in both animals. Complete blood cells (CBC) such as WBC, lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, RBC, hemoglobulin, and hematocrit were counted. And plasma concentration of erythropoietin (EPO) which is the major regulator of erythropoiesis was measured using $\^$125/I-antierythropoietin IgG. Ferritin concentration in plasma was also analyzed.

Objectives PRAL (Prunus armniaca Linne Var) is a herbal formula in Oriental Medicine, known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic properties. However, its mechanism of action and the cellular targets have not yet been found enough. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of PRAL on Th2 cytokines expression in MC/9 mast cells. Methods The effect of PRAL was analyzed by ELISA, Real-time PCR, Western blot in MC/9 mast cells. mRNA levels of GM-CSF, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13, TNF-${\alpha}$ were analyzed with Real-time PCR. Levels of IL-13, MIP-$1{\alpha}$ were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). NFAT, AP-1 and NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 were examined by Western blot analysis. Results PRAL inhibited GM-CSF, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13, TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA expression in a dose dependent manner. GM-CSF, IL-4, IL-5 mRNA expression were inhibited significantly in comparison to DNP-IgE control group at concentration of 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ and IL-6, IL-13, TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA expression were inhibited at concentration of 50 ${\mu}g/ml$, 100 ${\mu}g/ml$. PRAL also inhibited the IL-13, MIP-$1{\alpha}$ production significantly in comparison to DNP-IgE control group in a dose dependent manner. IL-13 production was inhibited at a concentration of 200 ${\mu}g/ml$, 400 ${\mu}g/ml$ and MIP-$1{\alpha}$ was inhibited at a concentration of 100 ${\mu}g/ml$, 200 ${\mu}g/ml$, 400 ${\mu}g/ml$. Western blot analysis of transcription factors involving Th2 cytokines expression revealed prominent decrease of the mast cell specific transcription factors including NFAT-1, c-Jun as well as NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 but not NFAT-2 and c-Fos. Conclusion These results indicate that PRAL has the effect of suppressing Th2 cytokines production in the MC/9 mast cells. These data represent that PRAL potentiates therapeutic activities to the allergic disease by regulating Th2 cytokines in the MC/9 mast cells.

이종간 장기이식은 즉각적이고 비가역적 초급성 거부 반응을 초래하는데 자연항체인 IgM이 주원인으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 항체를 제거하는 것이 초급성 거부반응을 감소시키는 하나의 방법이 될 수 있다. 이에 연구자들은 돼지\$\longrightarrow$ 개 이소 심장이식 모델에서 자연항체를 제거하기 위해 원심분리 후 혈장분반술(postcentrifugal plasmapheresis-PCPP)을 사용하고 수혜견의 항체 변화와 이종 심장이식 시 생존시간을 관찰하였다. 대상 및 방법: 10∼20 kg의 이계 교배시킨 돼지를 공여돈으로, 25∼30 kg의 잡종개를 수혜견으로 사용하였다. 실험군에 해당하는 수혜견은 COBE TPE plasmapheresis device(COBE Laboratories, Lakewood. CO)로 PCPP를 시행하였다. 심장이식 2일 전과 이식 당일 PCPP를 진행하였다. 대조군은 PCPP를 수행하지 않았다. 그룹 1에서는 PCPP를 1 plasma-volume(PV)을 시행하고, 2일 후 2 PV를 실시하였다. 그룹 2는 2 PV를 시행하고 2일 후 2 PV로 PCPP를 실시하였다. 돼지의 심장은 이소심장 이식법으로 수혜견의 복강내 신하(infrarenal) 대동맥과 하대정맥에 이식하였다. 수혜견 혈장내의 총 IgM과 IgG의 분석은 ELISA방법을 이용하였다. 실험에서 얻은 시료로 혈청 albumin, 전해질, 보체 활성도와 응고 인자의 변화를 관찰하였다. 또한 이식된 심장의 초급성 거부 반응을 확인하기 위해 이식 거부반응을 경험한 심장 절편을 조직 병리학적으로 관찰하였다. 결과: PCPP 방법으로 처리한 그룹 2에서의 혈장내의 총 IsM과 IgG의 제거율은 각각 95.7$\pm$1.2%, 80.5$\pm$2.4%를 나타냈다. 또한 각 그룹에서 혈청 albumin 농도가 감소하는 것을 관찰하였는데 그룹 1에서는 2.8에서 1.4g/㎗, 그룹 2에서는 3.0에서 1.5 g/㎗의 감소를 보였다. 보체 활성도는 PCPP를 시행하면 감소하였다가 PCPP시행 후 약 24시간 후면 정상으로 회복되었다. 2 PV로 2회 시행한 PCPP에서의 보체 활성도는 시행 전의 10% 수준까지 감소되었다. PCPP가 혈액응고인자에 미치는 영향을 보면 2 PV의 PCPP 시행으로 fibrinogen의 농도가 시행 전의 20% 수준 이하로 떨어졌으나 이 효과는 24시간 이내에 회복되었고 antithrombin III도 비슷한 양상을 보였으나 fibrinogen보다 소폭의 감소를 보였다. PT, aPTT는 PCPP도중에 간혹 연장되는 경우가 있었으나 늘 일정한 결과는 아니었으며 이식 후에 측정 가능 범위 이상으로 연장되었다. D-dimer의 경우 PCPP 시행 동안에는 검출되지 않았으나 이식 후 10분부터 검출되어 지속되었다. PCPP를 수행하지 않은 그룹 0 수혜견에 이식한 심장의 생존시간은 5분이었으나 PCPP에 의해 자연항체를 제거 후 이식된 심장의 생존시간은 90분으로 현저한 증가를 보였다. 또한 조직 병리학적으로도 이식 거부에 대한 특징이 그룹 0에 비해 그룹 2에서 지연됨을 확인하였다. 결론: PCPP는 수혜견의 자연항체를 효과적으로 제거하여 초급성 거부반응을 감소시킴으로써 결국 돼지의 이종 이식 전 심장의 생존시간을 증가시켰다.

계란의 방사선 조사 여부를 효소면역 측정법에 의해 판별 가능한지를 검토하기 위해, 방사선에 대해 가장 민감한 것으로 알려진 오브알부민의 항 오브알부민 19G에 대한 반응성을 경합효소면역측정법 (cELISA)에 의해 검토하였다. 계란은 난각이 있는 상태에서 조사선량은 0~7 kGy로 조사하였다. 항 오브알부민 IgG에 대한 오브알부민의 반응성은 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였는데, 감소 정도는 조사선량 의존적으로 변화되어 7 kGy에서 가장 크게 감소하였다. 방사선 조사에 의한 반응성감소 정도는 1.5배 (0.5 kGy)~3.7배 (7 kGy)이었다. 가장 조사선량이 낮은 0.5 kGy에서도 반응성의 감소가 측정 가능했기 때문에 cELISA는 저선량 조사된 계란의 검출에 유용한 방법으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 방사선 조사에 의한 오브알부민의 반응성 감소는 오브알부민의 부분적 분해에 의해 구조적 변화가 일어났기 때문으로 사료된다.

For the investigation of microbiological and immunological specificity of Bacteroides gingivalis, Bacteroides gingivalis were isolated, enumerated and characterized from 13 Korean rapidly progressive periodontitis and 7 healthy control by anaerobic culture technique. The total proportion of black-pigmented Bacteroides from Korean R.P.P. patients and healthy control were 8.78% and 0.92%, respectively, among total isolated black-pigmented Bacteroides. In antibiotic susceptibility test, Bacteroides gingivalis isolated from R.P.P. patients were sensitive to Ampicillin and Tetracycline, and resistant to Gentamicin and Erythromycin in disc diffusion method. In antibiotic broth dilution method, the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) to Bacteroides gingivalis was 2 unit/ml of Penicillin and $0.25{\sim}1{\mu}g/ml$ of Tetracycline, respectively. The concentration of serum IgG in rapidly progressive periodontitis patients were sigificantly higher than that of healthy control, and concentration of diluted gingival crevicular IgG has not any significant differences between two groups. Serum and gingival crevicular IgG antibody to Bacteroides gingivalis were significantly higher titer in rapidly progressive periodontitis patients to compare with healthy control. The lipopolysaccharide profiles of 2 Korean B. gingivalis in silver stained sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were similar to type strains of B. gingivalis and typical LPS band were appeared around the 24-Kd molecular weight. Immunodiffusion test and immunoelectrophoresis of the L.P.S. extracted from 2 Korean B. gingivalis and 2 kinds of type strains of B. gingivalis showed that B. gingivalis Korean-1 was reacted identically to B. gingivalis ATCC 33277. In trypsin and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity test of 2 Korean B. gingivalis, both of them revealed positive trypsin and negative ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity, respectively. These investigation suggested that B. gingivalis is important pathogenic plaque bacteria for the pathogenesis of periodontitis and further study is needed to purify and characterize of the species-specific antigens of this organisms to develop monoclonal antibody and potential diagnostic reagents.

Purpose: Although several reports have described the relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease, information about the association between periodontal disease and the progression of degenerative aortic stenosis (AS) is lacking. Therefore, we performed a retrospective, single-center, pilot study to provide insight into this potential association. Methods: Data from 45 consecutive patients (19 men; median age, 83 years) with mild or moderate degenerative aortic stenosis were analyzed for a mean observation period of 3.3±1.9 years. The total amount of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis and titers of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) against periodontal bacteria and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were evaluated. Aortic valve area (AVA), maximal velocity (Vmax), mean pressure gradient (mean PG), and the Doppler velocity index (DVI) were evaluated. The change in each parameter per year ([Parameter_LATEST-Parameter_BASELINE]/Follow-up Years) was calculated from the retrospective follow-up echocardiographic data (baseline vs. the most recently collected data [latest]). Results: No correlation was found between the concentration of periodontopathic bacteria in the saliva and AS status/progression. The anti-P. gingivalis antibody titer in the serum showed a significant positive correlation with AVA and DVI. Additionally, there was a negative correlation between the anti-P. gingivalis IgG antibody titer and mean PG. The hs-CRP concentration showed positive correlations with Vmax and mean PG. Meanwhile, a negative correlation was observed between the anti-P. gingivalis IgG antibody titer and ΔAVA/year and Δmean PG/year. The hs-CRP concentration showed positive correlations with Vmax and mean PG, and it was significantly higher in patients with rapid aortic stenosis progression (ΔAVA/year <-0.1) than in their counterparts. Conclusions: Our results suggest that periodontopathic bacteria such as A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis are not directly related to the status/progression of degenerative AS. However, inflammation and a lower immune response may be associated with disease progression.

Drug delivery to the brain may be achieved by producing chimeric peptide, attaching the drug to protein 'vectors' which are transported into the brain from the blood by a receptor-mediated transcytosis through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Since the BBB expresses high concentrations of transferrin receptor, and it was reported that anti-transferrin receptor mouse monoclonal antibody (OX26) undergoes transcytosis through the BBB, it is logical to assume that a drug delivery system via transferrin receptor-mediated transcytosis is a promising strategy. In the present study, therefore, we tested feasibility of several OX26 based vectors for the brain delivery of a model drug. Avidin-based delivery vectors such as OX26-streptavidin (OX26-SA), OX26-neutralite avidin (OX26-NLA) were chemically synthesized vectors and OX26 immunoglobulin G 3 type $C_{H}3$ fusion avidin $(OX26\;IgG3C_H3-AV)$ was genetically engineered. To improve the efficiency of producing chimeric peptide, we used avidin-biotin technology. Pharmacokinetics of $[^3H]biotin$ bound to OX26-SA, OX26-NLA and $OX26\;IgG3C_H3-AV$ was determined by intravenous injection technique, and their stabilities in plasma were analyzed using HPLC. The brain delivery of $[^3H]biotin$ bound to OX26-SA, OX26-NLA and OX26\;$IgG3C_{H}3-AV$ (expressed as %ID/g brain) was $0.22{\pm}0.01$, $0.18{\pm}0.01$ and $0.25{\pm}0.09$, respectively. The areas under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) for OX26-SA, OX26-NLA, $OX26\;IgG3C_H3-AV$ from time zero to 60 min were $209{\pm}10$, $195{\pm}9$, $134{\pm}29\;%ID\;min/ml$ respectively and their total clearances $(CL_{tot})$ were $1.00{\pm}0.09$, $1.08{\pm}0.07$ and $1.54{\pm}0.29\;ml/min/kg$, espectively. These results showed that these vectors possess preferable pharmaceutical (e.g., resonable stability) and pharmacokinetics (e.g., significant brain uptake and enhanced AUC) for brain delivery. Therefore, these vectors may be broadly useful in the brain delivery of drugs that are not transported into the brain to a significant extent.

Objective: Current study was conducted to determine the effect of postpartum prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) administration on colostrum and milk yield, colostrum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and piglet growth performance. Methods: In total, 36 sows were included in the experiment. The sows were classified into two groups: i) control (n = 11) and ii) PGF2α (n = 25). Sows in the PGF2α group received 10 mg of PGF2α within an hour after farrowing. The body weight of piglets was measured at 0 and 24 h after birth to estimate colostrum consumption. Colostrum was collected at 1 and 24 h after farrowing to determine IgG concentrations. For milk yield study, the remaining sows in the PGF2α group (n = 23) were divided into two subgroups: i) single PGF2α (n = 12) and ii) multiple PGF2α (n = 11). In the multiple PGF2α, the sows received repeated doses of PGF2α at seven and 14 days postpartum. The piglets' body weight was measured at 0, 1, 5, and 20 days of age. The milk yield of the sows was calculated. Results: Colostrum yield of sows averaged 5.62±2.25 kg. Sows treated with PGF2α postpartum had a higher colostrum yield than control (7.01 and 5.12 kg, p<0.05). The concentration of IgG in colostrum at 24 h in the PGF2α group was higher than the control (31.6 and 17.4 g/L, p<0.05). For primiparous sows, milk yield was highest in the sows treated with multiple doses of PGF2α during lactation and lowest in control sows (10.25 and 7.61 kg, p<0.05). Colostrum intake was higher in the treatment than the control groups (+56.7 g, p<0.05). Primiparous sows treated with multiple doses of PGF2α had a higher litter weight than controls (p<0.01). Conclusion: Postpartum treatment with PGF2α improved colostrum yield and IgG in multiparous sows and increased colostrum intake of piglets. Multiple administration of PGF2α improved the milk yield and increased litter weight of piglets in primiparous sows.

This paper reports a novel wireless love-wave biosensor on $41^{\circ}$ YX $LiNbO_3$ piezoelectric substrate and $SiO_2$ guiding layer for Immunoglobulin G (IgG) detection by protein binding. Different from the traditional biosensors based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) oscillator structured by delay line/resonators, a 440MHz reflective delay line consists of SPUDTs and three reflectors placed on $41^{\circ}$ YX $LiNbO_3$ in a row was fabricated as the sensor element. Good linearity, reproducibility, and high sensitivity were observed in the IgG concentration range 1~65nM. Unique advantages as high sensitivity, passive and simple measurement system are present over currently available other biosensors.
