These experiments were undertaken as a basic study to develop immunocontraceptive vaccine and to understand the role of zona pellucidae in early fertilization process by identifying the monoclonal and polyclonal antibody to porcine zona pellucidae and polyclonal antibody to mouse zona pellucidae by indirect ELISA and indirect immunofluorescence test. The results obtained in these experiments were summarized as follows : 1. The titer of the antibodies to zona was determined by indirect ELISA using solubilized porcine zona coated plates. Both monoclonal and rabbit polyclonal antibodies showed very high titers ; O.D at 1 : 12,800 dilution of antibodies was still significantly higher than that of non-immunized control serum. Rabbit anti-mouse zona pellucidae sera also reacted with porcine zona pellucidae. 2. By indirect immunofluorescence test strong fluorescences were observed on the egg treated with homologous and heterologous rabbit polyclonal antibodies and FITC lablled 2nd antibodies and found to crossreact strongly with the eggs from the pig and mouse. While weaken fluorescences were observed on the eggs treated with monoclonal antibodies.

These experiments were carried out to investigate of the molecular characteristics of porcine zona pellucidae and to examine the reactivity of anti-zona antibody by SDS-PAGE, Immunoblotting and Immunoprecipitation. The results obtained in these experiments were summarized as follows : 1. The result obtained by SDS-PAGE of porcine zona pellucidae indicated that it composed of several units with molecular weight ranging 55,000-110,000. 2. In order to see the reactivity of antibodies to zona pellucidas, immunoblotting was applied. The results indicated that polyclonal antibodies to porcine and mouse zona reacted with porcine zona. While monoclonal antibody to porcine did not react with the procine zona enough to show a clear band on a gel. 3. Labelling of porcine zonae with 125I was performed using the Iodogen method, the radioactivity and the percent incorporation of 125I into porcine zonae were approximately 26,000 cpm/10${mu}ell$ and 16, respectively. 4. Measurements of radioactivity and O.D value for Immunoprecipitates produced by reaction of 125I-porcine zona with anti-zona antisera were confirmed that existence of reactivity of monoclonal antibody to porcine zona although its reactivity was lower than that of polyclonal antibodies, and reconfirmed that cross-reactivity of polyclonal antibody of mouse zona with porcine zona.

Using the polyclonal antibody for Xanthomonas citri ampicillin acylase raised in Pseudomonas-free Balb/c mice, the immunochemical similarity of several types of penicillin acylases including Erwinia aroideae penicillin V acylase, Escherichia coli penicillin G acylase, Pseudomonas melanogenum and Acetobacter turbidans ampicillin acylases, and Pseudomonas cephalosporin acylase was examined. Among tested, only P. melanogenum ampicillin acylase showed the cross-reactivity with the antibody.

Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) orf47 gene was characterized for the first time. The coding sequence of Bm47 was amplified and subcloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-30a(+) in order to produce His-tagged fusion protein in the BL21 (DE3) cells. The His-Bm47 fusion protein was expressed efficiently after induction with IPTG. The purified fusion protein was used to immunize New Zealand white rabbits to prepare polyclonal antibody. As the genome of BmNPV is available in GenBank and the EST database of BmNPV is expanding, identification of novel genes of BmNPV was conceivable by data-mining techniques and bioinformatics tools. Structural bioinformatics approach to analyze the properties of Bm47 encodes protein.

We prepared the polyclonal antibody anti-$20{\alpha}$-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (anti-$20{\alpha}$-HSD) against the recombinant full-length protein bovine $20{\alpha}$-HSD in Escherichia coli. The specificity of anti-$20{\alpha}$-HSD was demonstrated using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with recombinant bovine $20{\alpha}$-HSD and bovine placental tissues. According to western blot analysis, anti-$20{\alpha}$-HSD specifically recognizes the 37-kDa protein bovine $20{\alpha}$-HSD. The protein is not present in untransfected CHO cells. Anti-$20{\alpha}$-HSD also recognizes a specific protein in the ovaries and placenta of other animals. Immunostaining was used to detect expression of bovine $20{\alpha}$-HSD protein in the cultured luteal cells during the estrous cycle later.

Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a rare ocular disease, but it is a painful and sight-threatening infectious disease. Early diagnosis and adequate treatment are necessary to prevent serious complications. While AK is frequently diagnosis via several PCR assays or Acanthamoeba-specific antibodies, a more specific and effective diagnostic method is required. This study described the production of a polyclonal peptide antibody against the periplasmic binding protein (PBP) of A. castellanii and investigated its diagnostic potential. Western blot analysis showed that the PBP antibody specifically reacted with the cell lysates of A. castellanii. However, the PBP antibody did not interact with human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells and the other 3 major causative agents of keratitis. Immunocytochemistry (ICC) results revealed the specific detection of A. castellanii trophozoites and cysts by PBP antibodies when A. castellanii were co-cultured with HCE cells. PBP antibody specificity was further confirmed by co-culture of A. castellanii trophozoites with F. solani, S. aureus, and P. aeruginosa via ICC. The PBP antibody specifically reacted with the trophozoites and cysts of A. polyphaga, A. hatchetti, A. culbertsoni, A. royreba, and A. healyi, thus demonstrated its genus-specific nature. These results showed that the PBP polyclonal peptide antibody of A. castellanii could specifically detect several species of Acanthamoeba, contributing to the development of an effective antibody-based AK diagnostics.

Acetolactate synthase (ALS, EC 4.1.3.18) is the first common enzyme in the biosynthesis of leucine, isoleucine, and valine. It is the target enzyme for several classes of herbicides, including the sulfonylureas, the imidazolinones, the mazolopyrimidines, the pyrimidyl-oxy-benzoates, the pyrimidyl-thio-benzens, and the 4,6-dimethoxypyrimidines. An amino-terminal fragment of the sulfonylurea-resistant ALS gene (SurB) from Nicotiana tabaccum was cloned into the bacterial expression vector pGEX-2T. The resulting recombinant plasmid pGEX-ALS1 was used to transform Escherichia coli strain BL21, and the tobacco ALS was expressed in the bacteria as a protein fused with glutathione S-transferase (GST). Polyclonal antibodies against the fusion product (GST-ALS) were produced, and the sensitivity of GST-ALS with the rabbit anti-GST-ALS IgG was up to 50 ng. This antibody was used for Western blot analysis of the partially purified ALS from barley shoots. The results suggest that the polyclonal antibody produced in this study can be used to detect plant ALS.

Chicken beef pork meats and isolated soy protein (ISP) were heated at 10$0^{\circ}C$ for 30min and then heat-resistant proteins were fractionated to examine cross-resistant protein from chicken meat but not with beef pork or ISP. Dot blotting using the polyclonal antibody showed that the sen-sitivity for detecting chicken meat was 1$\mu$m and antibody-antigen reaction was dose-dependant. Results of dot blotting analysis to compare the amount of chicken meat present in arket meat products(Kentucky Frank sausage;chicken meat 46.52% and pork 24.92% vs Bulgogi Ham;chicken meat 28.89% and turkey 31.44%)showed that the significant differences between two meat products in terms of chicken meat concentrations. Dose-dependant dot-blotting reaction was also observed in chicken meat samples with various dilution.

We prepared antibodies from insect glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and assayed the titer. Nine polyclonal antibodies against insect GAGs were raised for development of an ELISA in biological fluids (mice serum). The 3th booster collection of antiserum of BALB/c mice as a primarily antibody was assayed for titer determination by ELISA method. In sandwich ELISA of GAGs derived from Isaria sinclairii or other insects, antiserum from insect GAGs gave satisfactory results for so potent antibody(100: 1~1000:1) raising (manufacturing) agent in range of 10 ng/ml.
