Two clones of monconal antibodies(Co-1 and Co-2) against BSA-benzoylecgonine(BSABE) were produced. Both monoclonal antibodies showed high binding affinity to BSA-BE. Observing from ELISA inhibition assay, Co-1 reacted only weakly with soluble benzoylecgonine, while Co-2 showed considerable reactivity with soluble benzoylecgonine.

The usefulness of malaria diagnosis by Plusmodium JaLcipawn-GDH (NADP+), obtained by affinity chromatography. is demonstrated in ELISA assays, testing IgG antibodies against GDH (NADP+) from patients with acute malaria, who have had two or more episodes of malaria. or from sera of hyperimmune patients. GDH (NADP+) thermal stability was demonstrated in a high heat resistance assay. The immunofluorescence assay demonstrated that anti-culture (P. falciporum) supernatant serum and anti-GDH (NADP+) of Proton app. recognized epitopes in Venezuelan isolates and Colombian and Brazilian malarial strains. The antigen is soluble, with high specificity is a potent imnlunogen and is thermoresistant.

In vitro diagnostic veterinary medical reagents (IVDVMRs) were diverted the medical devices from medicine by the revision of the pharmaceutical affairs act enforcement regulations in 2015 in Korea. It classified into class I-IV according to risks of individual and public health. However, good manufacturing practices requirements on IVDVMRs were exempted from the current system. The registration of IVDVMRs by the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency has gradually increased since 2012, and total of 584 products from 68 companies were registered from 1978 to 2017. Most of these items are clinical immunochemistry (infection disease), clinical immunochemistry (non-infection disease), molecular genetics, endocrinology, blood gas analysis, clinical microbiology, toxin, heavy metal and drug of abuse, other etc. The market size of IVDVMRs reported from the Korea Animal Health Products Association was estimated to be approximately 51.9 billion won in 2017. The domestic consumption and the export sales were approximately 31.2 and 20.7 billion won, respectively. They are increasing 23.9% (CAGR) in domestic consumption and 40.4% (CAGR) in export from 2011 to 2017.

To study the expressions of glutamate transporter subtypes in cerebellar astrocytes following the chronic exposure of nicotine from mating, rats were treated with nicotine (25 ppm) from the beginning of mating through drinking water. After delivery. each group was divided into two groups. Groups were exposed to either distilled water or nicotine. From 7 day-old pups at each group. cerebellar astrocytes were prepared. Ten days after culture. the expressions of glutamate transporter subtypes (GLAST and GLT-1) were determined using immunochemistry and immunoblot. (omitted)

In our previous studies, we reported that hybridoma B-lymphocytes can be used to determine the virulence of Listeria species in an in vitro cytotoxicity assay. Here, we examined the cytopathic effect, i.e., membrane damage and the nature of cell death induced by Listeria monocytogenes on murine hybridoma B-lymphocytes (Ped-2E9). Membrane damage was assessed by microscopic analyses and by measuring the release of intracellular alkaline phosphatase(AP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Cell death was determined by DNA fragmentation analyses using agarose gel electrophoresis. Infection by listeriolysin O (LLO)-producing L. monocytogenes strains induced substantial amounts of AP and LDH release from Ped-2E9 hybridoma B-cells, suggesting severe membrane damage in these cells, while an LLO-negative L. monocytogenes mutant strain had no effect. An LLO-producing recombinant L. innocua ($prifA^+hly^+$) strain also induced high AP and LDH release and cytopathic changes in Ped-2E9 cells. Light or scanning electron microscopic examination revealed L. monocytogenes mediated membrane destabilization, pore formation, intense cytoplasmic granulation, bleb formation, and lysis of Ped-2E9 cells. LLO-producing L. monocytogenes and L. innocua ($prifA^{+}hly{^}+$) also induced ladder-like DNA fragmentation in Ped-2E9 cells. Collectively, these results suggest that L. monocytogenes, specifically LLO-producing strains, can induce a severe cytopathic effect leading to apoptosis in hybridoma B-lymphocytes (Ped-2E9).

Monoclonal antibody for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabiol (THC Ab), conjugated with protein A-gold, was employed as a probe to detect THC localization in the gland and subjacent cells of chemically fixed bracts of Cannabis. THC was detected in the outer wall of the disc cells, fibrillar matrix, the surface feature of secretory vesicles, and sheath throughout development of the secretory cavity. The probe was absent from vesicles. Label was also present in anticlinal walls of disc cells and walls of dermal and mesophyll cells. Little or no THC Ab was present in disc cells and none were detected in control tissues. This distribution pattern of THC Ab was similar to that in tissues prepared by high pressure cryofixation-cryosubstitution. Consistent association of THC with wall and wall-derived materials suggests that cannnabinoids are synthesized outside the plasma membrane and bound to a wall component, where-upon they are transported to the cavity with wall materials released from the disc cell wall during development of the secretory cavity.

Two homotetrameric lactate dehydrogenase isozymes from Fluta alba and one from Ophicephalus argus were purified by combination of gel filtration and DEAE-cellulose chromatogrphy. The final preparations were isozymically pure and used to elicit antibodies in rabbits. The immunochemical reactivities demonstrated that the amino acids of active site is not to be included in the antigenic determinants, that antibodies or unknown component of immunized rabbit serum might be responsible for the electrophoretic abnormality and that two subunits share common antigenic determinants, reflecting that these polypeptides have a common evolutionary origin.

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a major health problem in the elderly that involves changes in the properties of bone as well as impaired bone healing around a titanium implant in both humans and animals. This study examined effect of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on the bone healing process around a titanium implant in osteoporosis-induced rats. Materials and Methods: Sixteen rats were divided into two groups. A control group with osteoporosis induced by removing both ovaries and an experimental group of rats that were applied with LIPUS after osteoporosis had been induced. A screw type titanium implant (diameter, 2.0 mm: length, 3.5 mm, Cowell-Medi, KOREA) was placed into the tibias of 16 rats. The control and experimental group contained 8 rats each. The rats were sacrificed at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks after implantation to examine the histopathology and immunochemistry. Results: The histopathology examination revealed earlier new bone formation in the experimental group than the control group. In particular, at 1 week after implantation, more new bone matrix and collagen were observed around the implant of the experimental group compared to the control group. Immunochemistry analysis showed that the level of OPG expression of the experimental group was higher in the early stages than in the control group. After 8 weeks, the levels of OPG expression were similar in both groups. The expression level of receptor activator of nuclear factor kB ligand (RANKL) was stronger in the experimental group than the control group. After 4 weeks, the level of RANKL expression was similar in both groups. Conclusion: These results suggest that the application of LIPUS to implantation can promote bone healing around titanium in osteoporosis animals.
