Group A 로타바이러스 VP6에 특이적으로 반응하는 단크론 항체를 이용하여 로타바이러스 감염이 의심되는 돼지 분변으로부터 로타 바이러스를 검색할 수 있는 효소면역측정법을 개발하였다. 이 효소면역측정법에서는 capture antibody로서 protein A-sepharose를 이용하여 단크론 항체로부터 순수 분리한 immunoglobulin을 사용하였으며 detecting antibody는 토끼 면역혈청으로부터 순수 분리한 immunoglobulin에 biotin을 label하여 사용하였다. 개발된 효소면역측정법의 민감도와 특이성을 전자현미경법 및 형광항체법의 것과 비교하여 보았을 때 서로 유사하였으며 분변재료로부터 로타바이러스를 검색하는데 유용한 것으로 나타났다. 개발된 효소면역측정법은 야외로부터 로타바이러스 검색을 위하여 수집된 많은 양의 분변재료를 실험실내에서 screen하는데 유용하게 사용될 것으로 생각된다.

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of various factors on the therapeutic effect of the I-131 labeled anti-carcinoembryonic antigen monoclonal antibody(anti-CEA antibody). Tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay (MTT) was used to compare in vitro cytotoxicity of 3 Korean colon cancer cell lines (SNU-C2A, SNU-C4, SNU-C5) for selection of proper 2 cell lines in this study. The changes of the size of tumor which was xenografted to nude mice (balb/c nu/nu) were compared in 4 groups (group treated I-131 labeled anti-CEA antibody, group treated with non-radiolabeled anti-CEA antibody, group treated with I-131 labeled anti-human chorionic gonadotropin monoclonal antibody (anti-hCG antibody) as nonspecific antibody, and group injected with normal saline as a control). Immunohistochemical staining and in vivo autoradiography were performed after excision of the xenografted tumor. The results were as below mentioned. The in vitro cytotoxic effect of I-131 labeled anti-CEA antibody is most prominent in SNU-C5 cell line between 3 cancer cell lines. The changes of xenografted tumor size in both SNU-C4 and SNU-5S cell tumors at the thirteenth day after injection of the antibodies were smallest in the group treated with I-131 labeled anti-CEA antibody (SNU-C4/SNU-C5; 324/342%) comparing with other groups, group treated with anti-CEA antibody (622/660%), group treated with I-131 anti-hCG antibody (538/546%), and control group(1030/724%)(P<0.02 in SNU-C4 and P<0.1 in SNU-C5 at the 13th day after injection of antibodies). On the thirteenth day after injection of the antibodies nude mice were sacreficed to count the radiouptake of tumor and to check the changes of tumor size. Correlations between radiouptake and change of tumor size were calculated in each groups and significant negative correlation was only obtained in the group treated with I-131 anti-CEA antibody (p<0.05). There were no correlations between antigenic expression of carcinoembryonic antigen and distribution of anti-CEA antibody in both SNU-C4 and SNU-C5 cell tumors on immunoperoxidase staining. On in vivo autoradiography the distributions of anti-CEA antibody were heterogeneous and the intensities of binding were various in SNU-C4 and SNU-C5 cell tumors. It is concluded that I-131 labeled tumor-specific monoclonal antibody, anti-CEA antibody is effective in suppressing the xenografted tumor growth and the effect is influenced by sensitivity of tumor cell itself to the radiolabeled antibody and other local factors instead of specificity of antibody.

For the extraction and measurement of zearalenone in the corn, bean, wheat and barley contaminated with Fusarium graminearum, the zearalenone-oxime, zearalenone-oxime BSA and zearalenone monoclonal antibodies were studied to develop and apply the direct competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The extraction range of zearalenone with the monoclonal antibodies produced in this experiment was 10ng to 500ng/g feed and the 50% inhibition value was 50ng/ml. The mean recoveries of zearalenone artificially spiked in the ground corn were 89%. The specificity of F-2 monoclonal antibody for the analogues was favorable for the direct competitive ELISA. The result of the experiment showed the zearalenone in the corn, bean, wheat and barely naturally contaminated with the mold would be suitable for extraction and measurement with the monoclonal antibodies.

The analysis of membrane receptors for hormones and neurotransmitters has progressed considerably by pharmacological and biochemical means and more recently through the use of specific antibodies. To generate and characterize a moloclonal antibody against $\beta$-adrenergic receptor, a synthetic $\beta$2-adrenergic receptor peptide (Phe-Gly-Asn-Phe-Trp-Cys-Phe-Trp-Thr-Ser-lle-Asp-Val-Leu) which may comprise part of $\beta$-adrenergic receptor ligand binding pocket was coupled to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) and used as an immunogen. Male BALB/C mice were immunized with this antigen and the immunized spleen was fused with myeloma SP2/0-Ag14 cells to produce monoclonal antibodies. Two clones were obtained but one of monoclonal antibodies, mAb5G09, was used throughout in this study because the other clone, mAb5All showed weak immunoreactivity against KLH as well. The mouse monoclonal antibody mAb5G09 produced in this study showed immunoreactivity to peptide-KLH conjugates and also to human A43l cells and guinea pig lung $\beta$2-adrenergic receptor as revealed by ELISA and western blot. In the course of determination of the effects of mAb5G09 on $\beta$-receptor ligand binding, it was observed that mAb5G09 specifically bound $\beta$-adrenergic radioligand [$^3$H]dihydroalprenolol (DHA) with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 60 nM. The [$^3$H]DHA binding activity of mAb5G09 had characteristics of immunoglobulins and the binding activity was not observed in the control anti-KLH monoclonal antibody. The monoclonal antibody, mAb5G09 produced in this study may provide useful models for the study of the structure of receptor binding sites.

Background : Activation of neutrophil is critical for the clearance of microorganisms and toxic host mediators during sepsis. Unfortunately the activated neutrophil and its toxic byproducts can produce tissue injury and organ dysfunction. The leucocyte CD11/18 adhesion complex regulates neutrophil-endothelial cell adhesion, the first step in neutrophil migration to sites of injection and inflammation. To investigate the potential of neutrophil inhibition as a treatment strategy for sepsis, we evaluated the effects of monoclonal antibody against CD11b (MAb 1B6) in rats intrabronchial challenged with Escherichia coli. Methods : Animals were randomly assigned to receive monoclonal antibody against CD11b (1 mg/kg, sc) and bovine serum albumin(BSA, 1 mg/kg, sc) 6 hr before, at 0 and 6 hr after intrabronchial challenge of $20x10^9$ CFU/kg E. coli 0111. Animals were randomized to treat either 24, 60 or 90% oxygen after bacterial challenge and begining 4 hr after inoculation, all animals were received 100 mg/kg ceftriaxone qd for 3 days. Peripheral and alveolar neutrophil(by bronchoalveolar lavage) counts and lung injury parameters such as alveolar-arte rial $PO_2$ difference, wet to dry lung weight ratio and protein concentration of alveolar fluid were measured in survived rats at 12 hr and 96 hr. Results : Monoclonal antibody against CD11b decreased circulating and alveolar neutrophil especially more in 12 hr than in 96 hr The lung injury parameters of antibody-treated animals were not different from those of BSA-treated animals. but It was meaningless due to small number of survived animals. The early(6 hr) mortality rate was significantly increased in antibody-treated group(51%) compared to BSA-treated group(31%) (P=0.02) but late(from 12 hr to 72 hr) mortality rate was not different in antibody-treated group(44%) from BSA-treated group(36%) (P =0.089). Conclusion : Leucocyte CD11b/18 adhesion molecule is known to regulate neutrophil migration to the site of infection and inflammation. The monoclonal antibody against CD11b decreased alveolar neutrophil in rats with pulmonary sepsis and increased early mortality rate. Therefore, we can speculate that monoclonal antibody against CD11b blocks of alveolar recruitment of neutrophils, impairs host defense mechanism and increases early mortality rate of pulmonary sepsis in rat.

Hantaan virus(HV) 76-118 strain was inoculated into suckling ICR mice by intra-nasal route with an inoculum of $10LD_{50}$. Mortality was 65% at the 3rd week after inoculation, but declined to 35% at the 4th week. Infectivity was determined by the measuring immuno-fluorescent antibody in sera. The peak of infectivity was 80% at the 4'th week after inoculation. Viremia was reached peak level of $1.7{\times}10^4\;PFU/ml$ by day 10. Immunofluorescent antibody and neutralizing antibody appeared by 2 weeks and 15-17 days respectively, but achieved similar titer by 35 days. By using a monoclonal antibody to HV 76-118, viral antigens were initially detected in inguinal and axillary lymph node by 2 days. Viral antigens in bone marrow and lung were delayed much more than in those of lymph node. These were similar with those of intra-peritoneal and intra-muscular route. Immune complex against IgG, IgM and C3 appeared by 16 days, 14 days, and 18 days respectively. The pattern of immunofluorescence in the basement membrane of glomeruli was diffuse membranous. Spotted pattern was also observed in the tissue stained with anti-mouse C3 antibody. By 20 days, control tissue was also shown immune complex in the glomeruli.

A monoclonal antibody (mab) against the antimicrobial sulfamethazine was prepared and characterized by an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (IC-ELISA). Sulfamethazine in the range of 0.2 and 45ng/ml could be determined with the mab by IC-ELISA. cDNAs encoding a variable heavy chain and variable light chain of the mab were cloned to produce recombinant antibodies using phage display technology. Following phage rescue and three rounds of panning, a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody with high sulfamethazine-binding affinity was obtained. ELISA analysis revealed that scFv antibody and parent mab showed similar, but not identical, characteristics. The $IC_{50}$ value by IC-ELISA with scFv antibody was 4.8ng/ml, compared with 1.6ng/ml with the parent mab. Performances of the assays in the presence of milk matrix were compared; the mab-based assay was less affected than the scFv-based assay. Sixty milk samples were analyzed by mab-based IC-ELISA, and four samples were sulfamethazine positive; these results were favorably correlated with those obtained by HPLC.

We have reported that water-extracted Korean mistletoe (KM-110) had various biological activities such as antitumor and immunomodulatory activity, and the pectin fraction (KML-C) of the extract was one of major factors related to its biological functions. In this paper, we produced murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) against KML-C. The cAbs obtained were largely classified into two groups according to specificity to KML-C and ML-I, a pectin from European mistletoe. One group mAbs (9H7-D10 and 3C2-lH4) strongly reacted with KML-C, but not ML-I. In contrast, another group cAbs (8Bll-2C5, BE12-3E9 and 5E10-Fl) reacted with both KML-C and ML-1. The subisotypes of these mobs were shown to be IgGl (9H7-lD10, 3C2-lH4 and 8Bll-2C5) or IgM (8E12-3E9 and 5E10-Fl). To develop an assay system for determination of the amount of KML-C, we established the sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) method using these mAbs and horse radish peroxidase (HRP)-labelled cAbs. In various combinations of the cAbs for coated antibody and detection antibody, the sandwich ELISA quantitatively detected KML-C, showing the detection limit ranging from 7-5,000 ng/ml. Especially reproducibility (C.V) of the sandwich ELISA, in which 8E12-3E9 was used for coating antibody and 8Bll-2C5-HRP for detection antibody, was 4.59-5.83 in intra assay, and 3.9-9.4 in inter assay.

Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) reacting with the plasmalemma of Amoeba proteus were produced. Specificity of the 3 MAbs was determined by transfer blotting of the SDS polvacryfamide gel. AMS antibody reacted with the mucopolysaccharide bands of the spacer gel, 220 KD and 50 KD proteins of the resolving gel. The maior glycoprotein bands (175 KD, 165 KD) and 50 KD protein of the plasmalemma were recognized by AUG antibody. A third, AMP antibody reacted with the 50 KD protein only. In immunofluorescence microscopy of the enzyme treated cells, the antigens of these MAbs were sensitive to proteases, but not sensitive to neuraminidase. In the assay of cell to substratum attachment after binding with the antibody, AMG and AMP antibodies exerted no effect, but AMS hindered the attachment and cell spreading. Thus the effective components of the plasmalemma in cell to substratum attachment appear to be the mucopolysaccharides and 220 KD protein. The membranes of latex particle infested phagosomes did not show any distinction from the plasmalemma in fluorescence microscopy. Phagosome membranes of amoebae appear to be derived from the plasma membrane without selection in terms of the antigen composition. Amoeba Proteus의 세포막과 반응하는 단세포군 항체를 생산하였다. SDS polyacrylamide gel을 transfer blotting하여 이들 항체의 반응 특이성을 조사해 본 결과 AMS 단항체는 PAS로 염색되는 spacer gel의 mucopolysaccharide 린드, resolving gel의 220 KD 및 50 KD 단백질과 반응하였으며, 세포막의 주요 당단백질인 175 KD 및 165 KD 빈드와 50 KD 단백질은 AMG 단항체에 의해서 인지되었다. 그리고 AMP단항체는 공통인 50 KD 단백질과 특이하게 반응하였다. 효소처리한 아메바의 면역형광칠미경적 조사에서 이들 항체에 대한 항원분자들은 모두 단백질분해효소에 민감하였으며 neuraminidase에 대해서는 변화가 없었다. 이들 항체를 결합시킨 아메바의 용기표면 부착 가능성을 분석한 결과 AMP 및 AMG 단항체는 아무런 영향을 미치지 못하였으며 AMS 단항체는 세포의 용기표면 부착 및 세포의 펴짐을 저해하였다. 따라서 아메바의 용기표면 부착은 mucopolysaccharide 및 220 KD 단백질에 의해서 매게되는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 latex particle을 담고 있는 식포막은 면역형광형미경적 조사에서 세포막과 차이가 없었다. 따라서 겐포막은 항원 조성에 있어서 비 선택적으로 세포막에서 유도되는 것으로 나타났다.
