To screen biologically active components of the higher fungi of Korea, the dried carpophores of Auricularia polytricha were extracted with water. The extract was examined for acute toxicity in ICR mice. A low molecular weight toxin of this fungus was purified by acetone precipitation followed by cellulose, silica gel and LH-20 Sephadex column chromatography. Major symptoms of this toxin were eye extrusion, hair erection, trembling of head, paralysis, rapid running or moving before death and depression of respiration. The median lethal doses of the total extract were 1.25 g/kg and 4.18 g/kg by i.p. and p.o. administrations, respectively. The amounts of one mouse lethal unit (MLU) of the total extract and final fraction that killed a 20-g mouse within 30 minutes were 28.5 mg/mouse and 12 mg/mouse, respectively.

The HIV-1 p24(202-221) sequence ETINNEEEWDRVHPV HAGP contains a B-cell epitope with the earliest immune response and the highest antibody titer against anti-mouse sera obtained by immunization with p24 antigens. A novel mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) was generated against the immunodominant B-cell epitope of the HIV-1 p24 capsid protein, p24(202-221). BALB/c mice were immunized with the four branched multiple antigenic peptide (MAP) containing the HIV-1p24(202-221) sequence, and antibody-secreting hybridoma were produced by fusion of mouse splenocytes with P3X63Ag8.653, mouse myeloma cells. One clone which produced the antigen-specific mAb named KI-24 (Isotype IgG1, light chain: ${\kappa}$) was identified. mAb KI-24 was highly specific for both the p24(202-221) and p24 proteins when analyzed by ELISA and Western blotting. Since p24(202-221) also contains a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte epitope, this specfic peptide epitope and the monoclonal antibody with specific reactivity against the p24 protein and p24(202-221) can be used in peptide vaccine development and p24 antigen detection from HIV patients.

The extract was examined for acute toxicity in ICR mice. A low molecular weight toxin of this fungus was purified by a acetone precipitation followed by cellulose, silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Major symptoms of this toxin were decreasing of normal motility, eye extrusion, hair erection, shivering, trembling of head, paralysis, rapid running or moving before death and depression of respiration. The median lethal doses of the total extract were 1. 28 g/kg and 4. 31 g/kg by i.p. and p.o. administrations, respectively. The amounts of one mouse lethal unit of the total extract and final fraction that killed a 20 g mouse within 30 minutes were 28.5 and 12.0 mg/mouse, respectively.

In this paper, we propose a locomotor evaluation System for mouse based on continuous shooting images. In the field of veterinary medicine and animal studies are subjected to using the mouse for the quality of human life. In particular, during the experiments using the artificially created mice injury, through a variety of scoring and a lot of experiments to measure the extent of recovery from the injury. The traditional method of measuring the quantity of exercise while in this experiment was made of a method for directly observing person. The proposed system performs the continuous shooting per unit of time specified by the movement of the mouse is extracted from a continuous image shooting with the outline of a mouse point cloud. And using the extracted point cloud to extract again the inner contour of the body of the mouse. So using the new point cloud obtained its center, Then, using the center point calculated by accumulating the distance between two points on locomotor evaluation system design and implement to obtain the total distance the mouse moves over a unit of time.

Background: Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have the potential to form teratomas when implanted into immunodeficient mice, but data in immunocompetent mice are limited. We therefore investigated teratoma formation after implantation of three different mouse ESC (mESC) lines into immunocompetent mice. Materials and Methods: BALB/c mice were injected with three highly germline competent mESCs (129Sv, BALB/c and C57BL/6) subcutaneously or under the kidney capsule. After 4 weeks, mice were euthanized and examined histologically for teratoma development. The incidence, size and composition of teratomas were compared using Pearson Chi-square, t-test for dependent variables, one-way analysis of variance and the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance and median test. Results: Teratomas developed from all three cell lines. The incidence of formation was significantly higher under the kidney capsule compared to subcutaneous site and occurred in both allogeneic and syngeneic mice. Overall, the size of teratoma was largest with the 129Sv cell line and under the kidney capsule. Diverse embryonic stem cell-derived tissues, belonging to the three embryonic germ layers, were encountered, reflecting the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells. Most commonly represented tissues were nervous tissue, keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium (ectoderm), smooth muscle, striated muscle, cartilage, bone (mesoderm), and glandular tissue in the form of gut- and respiratory-like epithelia (endoderm). Conclusions: ESCs can form teratomas in immunocompetent mice and, therefore, removal of undifferentiated ESC is a pre-requisite for a safe use of ESC in cell-based therapies. In addition the genetic relationship of the origin of the cell lines to the ability to transplant plays a major role.

본 연구는 돼지 난포란으로부터 생산된 수정란의 체외발달에 미치는 아미노산, 우태아혈청 (FBS)과 Leukemia Inhibitry Factor의 영향을 조사하였다. 돼지난포란은 도살된 돼지의 난소로부터 회수하여 39$^{\circ}C$, 5% CO2 배양조건하에서 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml FSH-p, 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml Estradiol-17$\beta$와 10%FBS가 첨가된 TCM-199 배양액내에서 42시간동안 성숙시켰다. 사출된 정자의 수정능 획득은 45와 90% Percoll density gradient법을 통한 원심분리에 의해 얻었으며, 이들 수정능획득된 정자를 성숙된 난포란이 함유된 배양액에 3$\times$105/ml의 농도로 주입하여 10$\pm$1시간동안 배양함으로서 체외수정을 유도하였다. 수정된 난포란은 ; 1) 10% FBS가 함유된 TCM-199, DMEM, mKRB 또는 CR1aa 배양액, 2) 아미노산 또는 10% FBS가 첨가된 CR1 배양액, 3) STO 세포 또는 mLIF (1,000 unit/ml) 첨가된 CR1aa(10%FBS) 배양액, 4) mLIF (1,000 unit/ml)를 수정 직후 또는 8-세포기 이후에 첨가된 CR1aa(10%FBS)의 네가지 배양조건에서 각각 분리 배양하였다. 그결과 체외수정란의 배반포까지 발달율은 아미노산과 10%FBS가 포함된 CR1 배양액에서 다른 배양액에서보다 양호하였고, 특히 8-세포기 이후에 mouse LIF를 첨가한 CR1aa(10% FBS) 배양액에서는 다른 배양조건보다 현저히 높은 결과를 보였으며, 부화 배반포까지도 배발달을 유도할 수 있었다. 따라서 돼지수정란의 발달에 있어서 배양액내에 아미노산과 FBS 및 mouse LIF의 첨가는 효과가 있으며, 특히 8-세포기 이후에 있어서 mouse LIF의 첨가는 돼지의 수정란을 배반포 이후의 단계에까지 발달시킬 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 싱글 보드컴퓨터(SBC)에서 마우스와 디지타이저를 이용한 입력장치설계에 대하여 연구하고자 한다. 산업용 제어현장에서 사용되는 SBC는 아날로그 방식의 입력장치를 주로 사용하지만, 현재의 컴퓨터 주변장치를 직접 사용할 수 없는 경우가 대부분이다. 본 논문에서는 PC에서 사용하는 다양한 주변장치를 SBC에서 사용할 수 있도록 신호를 변환하는 입력장치를 설계 제작하였다. PC 주변장치는 MCU를 이용하여 신호를 해석한 후, SBC 입력장치 신호형식으로 변환하여 제공하였다. 설계 제작된 입력장치는 마우스 디지타이져, 터치스크린 등 다양한 장치들을 SBC에서 사용이 가능함을 보였다.

Microdrive with high precision and light mass enough to install on mouse head was fabricated for recording the reliable signal of neuron cell to understand the brain study. The proposed microdrive has three H-form PZT actuators and its guide structure. The microdrive operation principle is based on the well known inchworm principle. The synchronization of three PZT actuators is able to produce the linear motion along the guide structure. Our proposed microdrive has a precise accuracy of about 100nm and a long stroke of about 5mm. The electrode which is used for the recording of the action potential of the neuron cell was fixed at one of PZT actuators. The proposed microdrive was suited to acquisition of signals from in vivo extra-cellular single-unit recoding. On the condition of the anesthetized mouse, the single-unit signals could be recorded by using the proposed microdrive. In addition, applying the PZT microdrive to an alert mouse, we try to implant it on a mouse brain skull to explore single neuron firing.
