Oral tolerance is thought to play a role in preventing allergic responses and immune-mediated diseases. An improved mouse model of the oral tolerance to Japanese cedar pollen (JCP) as antigen was developed in order to detect induction of the tolerance, and the immunological characteristics of this model were also elucidated. Oral tolerance was induced by C3H/ HeN mice given an oral administration of 10 mg JCP 7 days before immunization with an i.p. injection of 0.1 mg JCP in complete Freunds adjuvant (CFA). The effects of oral JCP on systemic immunity were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of immunoglobulin (Ig) levels in serum collected on day 7 or 14 after immunization. Oral tolerance to JCP was adequately induced on day 7 after immunization and was more effective in C3H/HeN mice than in BALB/c mice. The tolerance was primarily concerned with the decreased serum levels of antigen-specific IgG. In these mice, oral administration of JCP also suppressed various immune responses to the antigen including delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH), total Igl level and anti-JCP IgGl level. The suppression of these immune responses by the oral antigen was associated with a significant reduction in interleukin-4 (IL-4) production. These findings therefore indicate that this C3H/HeN mice model has potential use in detecting the induction of oral tolerance by JCP and suggest that this tolerance model may be effective in the treatment and prevention of allergic responses caused by the antigen.

목적 : 가와사끼병 환자들에서 정맥용 면역글로불린(intravenous immunoglobulin, IVIG) 불응군의 예측 지표를 두 대조군을 사용하여 연구하였다. 방 법 : 가톨릭대학교 대전성모병원에서 IVIG 2 g/kg로 치료한 229명의 가와사끼병 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 23명 IVIG 불응군(IVIG 투여 후에도 24시간 이상 발열이 지속)과, 첫번째 206명의 IVIG 반응군 및 두번째 연령과 치료 전 발열일을 일치시킨 46명의 대조군에 대해 임상적, 검사실 소견을 비교하였다. 결과 : 인구학적, 임상적 소견은 IVIG 불응군과 반응군이 유사하였다. 검사실 소견에서, 두 가지 연구 모두에서 IVIG 불응군은 반응군에 비해서 중성구 분획, CRP, AST, ALT 그리고, LDH는 유의하게 상승되었고, 림프구 분획, 총 단백질, 알부민, 혈소판 수, 그리고 총 콜레스테롤은 유의하게 저하되어 있었다(단변수분석). 그러나, 다변수분석에서 첫번째 연구에서 높은 중성구 분획(cutoff value, >77%, 민감도 68.4%, 특이도 79.5%)과 낮은 총 콜레스테롤(<124 mg/dL, 민감도 79%, 특이도 70.5%)이, 두번째 연구에서는 알부민(<3.6 g/dL, 민감도 73.7%, 특이도 60%)만이 불응군의 예측 지표로 나타났다. 결론 : 가와사끼병에서 염증의 중증도는 발병 시에 상승되거나 저하된 검사실 소견에 반영된다. 이러한 검사실 지표에 대한 다변수분석은 환아수, 연령 및 발열 기간 등의 인자에 의해서 영향을 받으므로, 관상동맥병변의 위험이 큰 가와사끼병 환자들을 찾기 위한 다른 접근 방법이 필요하다.

IgA, IgG와 IgM는 항생제 처리구와 reveratrol 처리구에서 무항생제와 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol 처리구에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였다(P<0.05). SOD 유사 활성은 resveratrol 처리구에서 다른 처리구들에 비해 높게 나타났으며(P<0.05), MDA 함량은 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 따라서 뽕나무 유래 resveratrol은 육계 생산성 개선 및 건강성 유지를 통해 천연 항생제 대체물질로 이용 가능성이 시사된다.

The stabilizing effect of fructooligosanharide (FO) on hen＇s egg yolk immunoglobulin (yIgG) by heat and acid was investigated. The heat stability of yIgG at 70∼80$^{\circ}C$ was enhanced in a concentration-dependent manner by adding 0∼50% (w/v) FO to a yIgG solution. Acid-induced inactivation of yIgG was also suppressed in a concentration-dependent relationship by addition of FO. Addition of 50% FO almost completely stabilized yIgG at pH 3. The remarkable stablizing effect of FO on yIgG may enhance the use of yIgG as functional food ingredients.

A han transfers her serum immunoglobulin G to the agg (IgY) and gives immunity to her offspring. Therefore, The hen agg can be an effective supplier of a large amount of antigen specific antibody that accumulates in the egg yolk. Antigen specific antibody has been widely used for immunological analysis in the field of diagnosis as well as pure scientific research. The production and separation technology of IgY is demonstrated in the present study.

The effect of aqueous extract of Salvia plebeia R. Br. (Labiatae) (AESP) on immunoglobulin (lgE) antibody mediated allergic reactions in rats was investigated. AESP inhibited passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) when intravenously, intraperitoneally, and orally administered. AESP dose-dependently inhibited histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells activated by anti-DNP IgE antibody. Moreover, AESP had an inhibitory effect on anti-DNP IgE antibody induced $TNF-{\alpha}$ production from RPMC. These results suggest that AESP inhibit the IgE-mediated allergic reaction in rats.

Background: Atopic dermatitis starts as an early childhood type I hypersensitivity to environmental allergens and is often the first step in the atopic march to develop into asthma and allergic rhinitis. Despite progress that has been achieved in management, this health problem remains poorly controlled and cause great pain and suffering for many children and their parents To introduce nurses to recent progress in pathophysiology, management and preventive measure of atopic disease. Search method: Systemic search was done using the PubMed and CINAHL from 1980 to 2005. In addition, historical references were taken from standard medical textbook. Results: In total, 30 relevant publications were located including primary research and review articles that cover the pathophysiology, management, and preventive measure of atopy. The evidence emerging from literature indicate that non-medical approaches such as breastfeeding and probiotics would improve management outcomes. Conclusion: The review suggests that breastfeeding and probiotic approaches would be the most effective preventive measures for children with atopic diseases.

The detection of carbamate (carbofuran, carbaryl, benfracarb, thiodicarb, and methomil) and organophosphate (diazinon, cadusafos, ethoprofos, parathion-methyl, and chlorpyrifos) pesticide residues with very low detection limits was carried out using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based equipment. The capacity to develop a portable SPR biosensor for food safety was also investigated. The applied ligand for the immunoassays was polyclonal goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin (IgG) peroxidase conjugate. Concentration tests using direct binding assays showed the possibility of quantitative analysis. For ligand fishing to find a proper antibody to respond to each pesticide, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) were tested. The reproducibility and precision of SPR measurements were evaluated. With this approach, the limit of detection for pesticide residues was 1 ng/mL and analysis took less than 11 min. Thus, it was demonstrated that detecting multi-class pesticide residues using SPR and IgG antibodies provides enough sensitivity and speed for use in portable SPR biosensors.

A 24-year-old man presented with mental change, fever, abdominal pain, tenderness and palpable mass on the lower abdomen. He was a non-Korean engineer and did not accompany a legal guardian, so medical history taking was difficult due to his mental status. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple rim-enhanced lesions of the brain, and abdominal computed tomography showed huge paraspinal abscess. Chest X-ray and computed tomography showed poorly defined nodular opacities. We initially thought that this patient was infected with toxoplasmosis with typical cerebral image finding and immunoglobulin laboratory finding of cerebrospinal fluid and serum study. The abdominal abscess was confirmed as tuberculosis through the pathologic finding of caseous necrosis. We used anti-tuberculosis medication and anti-toxoplasmosis medication for almost 4 months, and then his clinical state and radiological findings were considerably improved.
