  • Epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs/HERs) and downstream signaling pathways have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several malignancies including breast cancer and its resistance to treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs. Consequently, several monoclonal antibodies as well as small molecule inhibitors targeting these pathways have emerged as therapeutic tools in the recent past. However, studies have shown that utilizing these molecules in combination with chemotherapy has yielded only limited success. This review describes the current understanding of EGFRs/HERs and associated signaling pathways in relation to development of breast cancer and responses to various cancer treatments in the hope of pointing to improved prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Also, we review the role of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) in disease and the potential to target these cells.

  • 인터넷 환경하에 전자상거래 분야는 이미 일부 선진국을 중심으로 성공적으로 도입, 운영되고 있다. 하지만 국내외적으로 전자상거래 분야는 전통적인 방법에 지나치게 편중되어 있어서 산업 발전에 여러 가지 제약을 받고 있는 것도 사실이다. 이러한 문제점을 개선, 보안하기 위해서 사이버 스페이스 상에서 에이전트 구축을 위한 판매 활동개념(미디어 에이전트 뱅크 시스템 : MABS; Media Agent Bank System)을 도입 했는데, 이것이 바로 판매 및 구매 정보시스템인 웹상에 있는 에이전트이다. MABS는 기업의 제조나 판매에서 발생하는 판매 정보를 국내외적으로 홍보하고 판매하여 실시간으로 기업이 판매 정보를 국내외적으로 홍보하고 판매하여 실시간으로 기업이 판매 정보를 즉시 공유하고 커뮤니케이션함으로써 기업의 생산성에 바로 반영되는 새로운 판매 방법론이다. MABS의 개념을 구현하기 위해 미디어 뱅크(주)에 의해서 개발되고 있는 사이버 스페이스상의 에이전트 시스템은 기존의 전자 상거래 개념을 좀 더 개선하고 보완하려는 의도에서 개발된 중소 제조 산업을 위한 에이전트 구축 시스템이며, 이는 모든 산업분야에 응용하여 적용시킬 수 있는 도구로서 인터넷을 보다 활성화 시키는 기능을 갖는다.

  • The phenotyping of cytochrome P-450 in hepatic mivrosomes induced by phenytoin in the rats was carried out by using several monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against specific P-450 isozymes. Phenytoin (180 mg/kg) was administered intrapritoneally for three consecutive days to the male Sprague-Dawley rats(100-120g). Solid phase radio-immunoassay showed higher binding affinity of MAb PB 2-66-3 and PCN 2-13-1 to the microsomes from phenytoin treated rats than those to from untreated rats, which was comparable to the level in phenobarbital induced rat hepatic microsomes.

  • Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) were produced against crude scolex extract of T solium metacestodes, and applied to ELISA-inhibition test for improving the specificity of serodiagnosis of human cysticercosis. Four hybridomas secreting species-specific anti- cysticercal Mabs (Cya-1, Cya-7, Cya-28 and Cya-31) were selected. Each Mab reacted on antigenic components of 25.5 kDa (Cya-1), 28 kDa (rcya-7), 87.5 kDa (Cya-281), and 12.5 kDa (Cya-31). IFA showed that Cya-1 was located at the calcium corpuscles, and Cya-7 at the loose connective tissue of T soLium metacestode scolex. Cya-28 and Cya-31 reacted on the tegument of the scolex. By conventional ELISA, 23 out of 28 (82.1%) cysticercosis patients were found serologically positive, but 1 out of 9 (11.1%) sparganosls cases and 6 out of 31 (19.4%) paragonlmiasis cases showed false positives. By ELISA-Inhibition test using species-specific anti-cysticercal Mab Cya-7, 19 out of 28 (67.9%) cystlcercosis cases were found serologically positive, but there were no false positives In other parasitic infections.

  • Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for assaying the 5-enolpyruvyshikimate-3-phosphate synthase from Agribacterium sp. CP4 (CP4 EPSPS) in genetically modified soybeans was developed. Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies (Pab, Mab) specific to the CP4 EPSPS were produced. When using the Pab, the detection limit of sandwich ELISA toward CP4 EPSPS (0.03 ${\mu}g/mL$) was better than that of competitive indirect ELISA(ciELISA) (1 ${\mu}g/mL$). It was found that 2 of 3 monoclonal antibodies, Mab1 and Mab2, recognized the same antigenic determinant on CP4 EPSPS, but Mab3 recognized different antigenic determinant when competitive ELISA was performed using the Mabs. On the other hand, when the sensitivity of sandwich ELISA using combination of Pab and/or Mabs was determined, the sandiwich ELISA using Mab2 as a capture antibody and Pab-HRP as a secondary antibody showed the lowest detection limit of CP4 EPSPS (0.02 ${\mu}g/mL$). The sandwich ELISA developed in this study could be applied to detect glyphosate-tolerant soybeans.

  • One fundamental problem in developing an AIDS vaccine is antigenic variation of HIV. Despite a substantial induced immune response in gp120-immunized monkeys and humans, high titers of V3-directed type specific neutralizing antibodies may not be sufficient to neutralize continuously emerging new isolates. Several studies analyzing anti-gp120 antibodies in HIV-infected individuals have clearly indicated that most broadly neutralizing antibodies are directed to conformation-dependent epitopes. Therefore, it seems important to evaluate the potential efficacy of candidate gp120 vaccines at inducing such antibodies, that might be potentially protective against multiple HIV strains. One concern in the development of any recombinant protein as a vaccine is its stability when mixed with an adjuvant. This could be a particularly important factor for recombinant gp120, given the conformational nature of its major, broadly neutralizing, epitopes. We hypothesized that gp120 complexed with recombinant CD4 could stabilize the conformation-dependent epitopes and effectively deliver these epitopes to the immune system. In this study, a soluble gp120-CD4 complex in Syntex Adjuvant Formulation was tested in mice to analyze the anti-gp120 antibody response. With the aim of defining the fine specificity and neutalizing activities of the immune response, 17Mabs were generated and characterized. The studies indicate that the gp120-CD4 complex elicits neutralizing anti-gp120 antibodies, most of which are directed to the conformation dependent epitopes.

  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV) E2 protein is known to be one of putative envelope proteins. To develop a sensitive detection method for HCV infected tissues and cells, monoclonal antibodys (MAbs) to the E2 protein of HCV were prepared from mice immunized with recombinant baculovirus-expressing E2 protein (Bac-E2). Several hybridoma clones secreting various levels of MAb were isolated and isotypes of these MAb were determined. One clone (L.2.3.3) was used for ascites production and the E2-MAb was purified and characterized. The L.2.3.3 reacted well with both Bac-E2 and E. coli expressed glutathione-S-transferase-E2 (GST-E2) fusion proteins. Using HCV patient sera, E2 envelope protein was found to be localized in the cell membrane boundary both in CHO cells and insect cells which express HCV E2 protein. Similar result was obtained when same cells were treated with the MAb L.2.3.3. These results demonstrated that Bac-E2 protein is capable of eliciting high titer antibody production in mice.

  • Seven monoclonal antibodies were produced by fusing splenocytes from Balb/C mouse immunized with partially purified human interferon-a (HUIFN-a) with NSO plasmacytoma cells. aery were identified as five IgG class (432.22: IgG2b/n, 460.52: IgG2b/a , 548.46: IgG2a/n , 573.10: IgG2b/h , 625.12: IgG2b/n ), one IgA class (460.50: IgA/n ) and one IsM class (465.27: IgA/n ), and all of them revealed highly sensitive to HUIFN- a IgG class monoclonal antibodies have pts ranged from 8.2 to 8.6. Ascites fluids produced from primed Balb/c mice and were purified through column chromatography. The cytopathic effect (CPE) inhibition assay to examine neutralization of HuIFU-a by IgG class monoclonal antibodies, gave that MAbs 460.52, 548.46, 573.10 can neutralize HUIFU- a arith varying degrees except 432.22. Therefore, it is deduced that these various monoclonal antibodies may recognize the distinct epitopes on HUIFN-a.

  • Bacterial hemoglobin from Vitreoscilla (VHb) is recognized as a good fusion protein for the soluble expression of foreign protein. In this study, we generated a monoclonal antibody (MAb) against VHb for its detection. For the rapid screening of MAb, a protein chip technology based on the Alexa-488 (A488) dye labeling method was introduced. In order to fabricate the chip, the VHb protein was chemically coupled to the chip surface and then the culture supernatants of 84 hybridoma cell lines were spotted onto the VHb chip. The bound MAbs were measured by A488-modified anti-mouse IgG. A single spot (MAb A10) exhibited significantly high signal intensity. The immunoblot analysis evidenced that the MAb A10 can detect VHb-fused proteins with high specificity.
