The infectious bursal disease (IBD) is a highly contagious and acute poultry disease caused by Birnavirus. However, the vaccination is the only disease prevention, but several factors impeded vaccine development. Thus, a need for time to develop a novel technique for managing and treating respiratory diseases in poultry birds. Passive immunization is a hope and a possible alternative used in birds to meet this need. The current research attempted to produce egg yolk-based polyclonal antibodies against the IBD virus. The benefits of IgY include ease of extraction, lack of reaction with mammalian Fc receptors, and low production cost. Commercial layers were immunized with inactivated IBD virus subcutaneously according to the treatment regimen. The eggs were gathered daily, and yolk antibodies were extracted with the ammonium sulfate precipitation technique. The use of an indirect hemagglutination test demonstrated that IgY was IBD-specific. Until the end of the experiment, the specific IgY immunoglobulins did not lose activity when stored at 4℃. The specific immunoglobulin (IgY) treated challenged birds were demonstrated 92% recovery in comparison to the control group. The study implies that the IBDV specific IgY is an easily prepared and rich source of antibodies and offers an alternative therapeutic agent to cure IBD-infected birds.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) has become a serious epidemic in Korean children. We aimed to investigate the association between vitamin C, E and other nutrients, and serum total IgE/specific IgE levels in children with AD. A total of 119 children (0-24 mo) diagnosed with AD were recruited for this cross-sectional study from a medical center in Seoul. A 24 h recall was used to assess dietary intakes. Serum total and six food-allergen specific IgE levels were measured by CAP-FEIA. Serum vitamin E was also measured but only in 25 out of the total 119 participants. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to estimate the coefficients between serum IgE levels and dietary intake as well as serum vitamin E. Serum vitamin E levels showed a significantly inverse association with serum total IgE and all specific IgE levels (P < 0.05). Fat intake was inversely related with specific-IgEs for egg whites, milk, buck wheat, soy, and peanuts (P < 0.05). Positive associations were found between carbohydrate (CHO) intake and total IgE and specific IgEs to egg whites, milk, soy, and peanuts (P < 0.05). Vitamin C, E and n-3/n-6 fatty acids were not related with serum total IgE and specific IgE levels except for the association between buck wheat and vitamin E. In addition, there were no significant differences between males and females in dietary intake and serum IgE levels by student's t-test. Although dietary vitamin E showed no association with serum IgE levels, serum vitamin E drew a significant inverse relationship with serum IgE levels. The evidence seems to suggest that vitamin E may possibly lower total and specific-IgEs in children with AD, and that it is important to maintain a relatively high serum vitamin E level in children with AD.

본 실험에서는 한우초유를 33% ammonium sulfate 포화용액으로 처리하여 조면역글로블린을 얻은 후 gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography를 이용하여 조면역글로블린의 분리 정도를 조사하고 affinity chromatography column을 이용하여 조면역글로블린으로 부터 Ig G의 결합정도를 알아보고 Protein G Sepharose fast flow system을 이용하여 신속하게 대량으로 Ig G의 분리를 꾀하여 얻어진 Ig G를 이용하여 ELISA방법으로 항체 생성유무를 측정하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. HPLC상에서 Superose 12 column을 이 용하여 한우초유의 조면역글로블린을 분리한 결과 Holstein초유의 조면역글로블린과 유사한 분리정도를 나타냈지만 약 84%의 Ig G를 한우초유의 조면역글로블린으로 부터 분리할 수 있었다. 2. Mono Q를 이용하여 HPLC에서 한우초유의 조면역글로블린을 gel filtration방법보다 짧은 시간에 분리할 수 있었지만 그다지 분리 정도가 좋지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 3. Hi-trap protein G column이 protein A sepharose CL-4B column보다 더 많은 양의 Ig G를 한우초유의 조면역글로블린으로 부터 얻을 수가 있었다. 4. Protein G Sepharose fast flow system을 이용하여 20mg의 sample양을 주입하여도 충분히 Ig G를 분리할 수 있었으며, ml 당 약 1.25mg의 Ig G를 얻을 수가 있었다. 5. ELISA방법을 이용하여 한우초유의 Ig G에 대한 항체 생성 유무를 측정한 결과, 면역화된 토끼에서 정상 토끼의 혈청에서보다 titer가 높게 나타났으므로 항체생성이 확인되었다.

It has been recognized that the hen, like its mammalian counterparts, provides young chicks with antibodies as protection against hostile invaders. This system facilitates the transfer of specific antibodies from serum to egg yolk, and provides a supply of antibodies called immunoglobulin Y(IgY) to the developing embryo and the hatched chick. The protection against pathogens that the relatively immune-incompetent newly hatched chick has, is through transmission of antibodies from the mother via the egg. Egg yolk, therefore, can be loaded with a large amount of IgY against pathogens which can immobilize the existing or invading pathogens during the embryo development or in day-old chicks. Thus, the immunization of laying hens to various pathogens results in production of different antigen-specific IgY in eggs. Egg yolk contains 8∼20 mg of jmmunoglobulins (IgY) per ml or 136∼340 mg per yolk suggesting that more than 30 g of IgY can be obtained from one immunized hen in a year. By immunizing laying hens with antigens and collecting IgY from egg yolk, low cost antibodies at less than $10 per g compared to more than $20,000 per g of mammalian IgG can be obtained. This IgY technology opens new potential market applications in medicine, public health, veterinary medicine and food safety. A broader use of IgY technology could be applied as biological or diagnostic tool, nutraceutical or functional food development, oral-supplementation for prophylaxis, and as pathogen-specific antimicrobial agents for infectious disease control. This paper has emphasized that when IgY-loaded chicken eggs are produced and consumed, the specific antibody binds, immobilizes and consequently reduces or inhibits the growth or colony forming abilities of microbial pathogens. This concept could serve as an alternative agent to replace the use of antibiotics, since today, more and more antibiotics are less effective in the treatment of infections, due to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria.

주요 가금티푸스 유발균인 Salmonella gallinarum에 대항하는 항체를 계란으로부터 효율적으로 얻기 위하여 사료 첨가제, 산란계에 백신 주사 시 adjuvant 종류, target균 외의 첨가균의 여부에 따른 계란 내의 면역 단백질 생산을 비교 측정하였다. 참숯의 급여에 의한 면역처리구의 specific IgY 함량을 보면 0.5% 참숯을 급여한 처리구가 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었으며, specific IgY의 생산에 참숯의 급여가 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. Adjuvant 처리에 따른 total IgY 함량의 변화는 거의 없는 것으로 나타났으나 specific IgY는 Freund's adjuvant를 사용하여 백신 처리한 처리구에서 높게 나타났다. Adjuvant 사용 시 결핵균을 같이 첨가한 경우 더 많은 specific IgY가 생성되었으나, 수산화 알미늄 처리구에서는 결핵균 첨가에 의한 영향이 나타나지 않았다. 15주령에 면역처리를 해준 경우 21주령에 면역처리를 해준 경우 보다 산란율이 높았으며, 사료에 참숯을 첨가한 경우 일반사료 급여군에 비해 산란율저하가 완화되었다.

An immunoelectron microscopy employing immunogold labeling method was performed to detect tissue origin of Dl fraction (DIA) among 5 antigenic protein fractions partially purified by DEAE- anion exchange chromatography from water- soluble crude antigen (PIWA) of adult Paragonimus iloktsuenensis. Immune reactions of adult worm tissues with rabbit serum immunoglobulin immunized with crude antigen (PI-Ig) and D1 antigen (D1-Ig), as well as rat serum immunoglobulin infected with P. iloktsuenensis were observed. DlA showed strong antigenicity in the intestinal epithelium of the worms during the early infection period of 2-4 weeks after infection. The vitellaria also showed stronger antigenicity than the other tissue sites in immune reaction of tissues against all immunoglobulins from 4 to 33 weeks after vitelline development. Therefore, it is suggested that DlA was mainly originated from the intestinal epithelial tissues before the development of vitelline gland of the parasites. Immune-reactivity of two immunoglobulins (PI-Ig, Dl-Ig) was significantly different in intestinal epithelial cytoplasmic protrusions (CP) and intestinal epithelial secretory granules (SG). In the experimental group with Dl-Ig, gold particles were labeled significantly in CP than in SG when compared to the PI-Ig group. Thus, the major antigenic materials in Dl antigen having a strong antigenicity in the early infection period was considered to be originated from the intestinal epithelial tissue .

This study evaluated the binding abilities of rabbit anti-ovalbumin (OVA) immunoglobulin G (IgG) and egg-allergic patient IgE on gamma-irradiated OVA during proteolysis using pepsin and trypsin. The concentrations of both the intact and the irradiated OVAs decreased during proteolysis when detected with IgG However, when detected by patient IgE the concentration of the intact OVA decreased up to 30 min after the trypsin treatment and increased thereafter. Irradiated OVA detected by patient IgE showed a lower initial concentration (0.16%) than that of the intact OVA, and this reduced concentration was maintained stably. The results indicate that irradiation, rather than enzymatic treatment, could reduce the binding of the irradiated and enzyme-treated OVA. Therefore, gamma irradiation has potential as an effective method to reduce OVA-induced allergy and may enhance the safety of egg-allergic individuals.

During slaughtering, animal blood is typically discarded, resulting in water pollution. However, this discarded blood has valuable components, such as immunoglobulin (Ig). Although several studies have been conducted to develop methods for effective recycling of slaughterhouse blood, they have not been commercially utilized in Korea. Here, we extracted an Ig-rich fraction from porcine blood that was then subjected to various in vitro tests, including pathogen growth inhibition, antigenic cross-reactivity, and anti-toxin activity. The porcine immunoglobulin concentrate (PIC) was effectively purified by eliminating other components, such as albumin, and consisted of approximately $63.2{\pm}2.9%$ IgG and $7.2{\pm}0.4%$ IgM on a protein basis. The results showed that it significantly suppressed the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and bound to all tested pathogens, including both gram-positive and gram-negative species, although the degree of activity differed according to strain. The PIC bound to two types of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) obtained from Escherichia coli O111:B4 and Salmonella enterica serotype typhimurium in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, the PIC restored the proliferation activity of the lymphoblast K-562 cells when co-incubated with pathogenic LPS. These results confirm that the PIC prepared in this study is a potentially valuable functional food material or diet supplement as an alternative to antibiotics that can protect animals from pathogenic bacteria.
