The present study has been performed to develop a PCR technology to identify human immunoglobulin(Ig) allotypes with restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) using a probe. Genomic DNA were ampilified with PCR tecnology using primers from peripheral blood lymphocytes of 10 periodontal patiens, whose Ig allotypes have been pre-determined by serological tecnique using heagglutination technique. The result indicated that the RFLP patterns could successfully differentiate the Ig allotypes, which suggests that this technology can be developed as a tool useful for population genetics studies.

어류의 세균성질병 원인체인 Edwardsiella tarda 감염의 예방과 치료에 E. tarda로 면역한 계란으로부터 얻어진 난황항체 (IgY)의 잠정적인 사용을 평가하였다. PEG법으로 정제된 IgY는 64 kDa의 heavy chain과 27 kDa의 light chain을 가지고 있었다. IgY는 사료 공급 후 위의 pH가 3.4로 낮아지는 2시간째에는 대부분의 활성을 상실하였으나, 장내에서는 IgY의 활성이 나타났다. IgY의 효능 실험 결과 감염 초기에 IgY를 20 mg/fish로 공급한 그룹은 모든 실험에서 대조 그룹에 비해 높은 생존율을 나타내었으며, 장기 내에서 균의 감염 정도 역시 낮았다. 그러나 감염 후기에서는 생존율에 있어서의 유의적인 차이를 확인하기 힘들었다. 이는 넙치의 위에서 대부분의 IgY가 활성을 잃어 낮은 농도만이 장으로 이동하기 때문일 것으로 사료되며, 이 농도에서 IgY는 E. tarda에 대한 뚜렷한 예방이나 치료의 효과 보다는 감염시기를 어느 정도 연장시키는 역할을 하는 것으로 추정된다.

Edwardsiella tarda로 면역한 닭의 난황항체 (IgY) 정제 방법을 비교하였다. Anti-E. tarda IgY의 정제는 PEG법, chloroform-PEG법, ammonium sulfate법과 정제 kit를 사용한 4가지 다른 방법으로 실시하였다. 정제된 IgY는 64 kDa의 heavy chain과 27 kDa의 light chain을 나타내었다. E. tarda로 면역된 IgY는 면역되지 않은 대조 IgY 보다 높은 ELISA가와 응집항체가를 나타내었으며, 정제된 IgY는 western blotting에서 anti-E. tarda 토끼혈청과 유사한 E.tarda 단백질을 인식하였다. PEG법과 ammonium sulfate법에 의해 정제된 IgY는 응집항체가가 1:512, chloroform-PEG법과 정제 kit에 의해 정제된 IgY는 1:128을 나타내었으며, PEG법이 IgY를 정제하기 위한 가장 빠른 방법이었다. 이 연구의 결과로 PEG법이 IgY의 생물학적 활성을 유지함과 더불어 신속하고 효과적인 정제방법임을 알 수 있었다.

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) related autoimmune diseases are characterized by high serum IgG4 concentrations, sclerosing inflammation of numerous IgG4-positive lymphoplasma cells of varying origin, and a positive response to steroid treatment. Autoimmune pancreatitis, sclerosing cholangitis, and retroperitoneal fibrosis are representative presentations of IgG4 related autoimmune disease. Herein, we describe 2 patients (40-years-old woman and 47-years-old man) diagnosed with pulmonary involvement of IgG4-related autoimmune disease. The patients were admitted for an evaluation of the lung mass or multiple lung nodules found on chest radiography. Surgical lung biopsies were performed and pathologic finding revealed lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing inflammation with numerous IgG4 positive cells. The patients had elevated serum total IgG and IgG4 levels. Treatment consisted of high dose methylpredinisolone (1 mg/kg/day) and demonstrated good responsiveness. However, one patient experienced 2 relapses while being tapered off of steroid treatment.

Purpose: To evaluate whether the levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody to Tanerella forsythia are associated with periodontal status. Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of chronic periodontitis were considered candidates for the study; thus 80 chronic periodontitis patients and 28 healthy persons (control group) were invited to participate in this investigation. The presence of T. forsythia was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis using primers designed to target the respective 16S rRNA gene sequences. Peripheral blood was collected from each subject to identify the IgG1 and IgG2 serum antibodies against T. forsythia. All microbiological and immunological laboratory processes were completed blindly, without awareness of the clinical status of the study patients or of the periodontal sites tested. Results: The bivariate analysis showed that lower mean levels of clinical attachment level (CAL) and probing depth were found in the presence of the IgG1 antibody titers against whole-cell T. forsythia; however, only the difference in CAL was statistically significant. In the presence of the IgG2 antibody titers against whole-cell T. forsythia, the periodontal parameters evaluated were higher but they did not show statistical differences, except for plaque. The unadjusted linear regression model showed that the IgG1 antibody against whole-cell T. forsythia in periodontitis patients was associated with a lower mean CAL (${\beta}=-0.654$; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.27 to -0.28; P<0.05). This statistically significant association remained after adjusting for possible confounders (${\beta}=-0.655$; 95% CI, -1.28 to -0.29; P<0.05). On the other hand, smoking was a statistically significant risk factor in the model (${\beta}=0.704$; 95% CI, 0.24 to 1.38; P<0.05). Conclusions: Significantly lower mean levels of CAL were shown in the presence of the IgG1 antibody titers against whole-cell T. forsythia in periodontitis patients. Thus, the results of this study suggest that IgG1 antibody to T. forsythia may have been a protective factor from periodontitis in this sample.
