Changes of protein contents and amino acid composition and SDS-PAGE pattern of protein of mung bean which were germinated in dark at $25^{\circ}C$ for 6 day. The total protein contents gradually decreased during germination and the contents of each fractionative soluble proteins were increased shortly after the soaking of mung bean and gradually decreased during the germination afterwards. SDS-PAGE of albumin fraction showed 18 bands, and during the germination the most of bands were diminished or disappeared. But protein bands at 24,000, 40,000, 45,000, 70,000 dalton position remained until 6th day of germination. SDS-PAGE of globulin fraction showed 6 discrete bands, and during the germination the protein band at 45,000 dalton position disappeard. But the protein bands at $14,000{\sim}25,000$ dalton position did not change during the period. SDS-PAGE of glutelin fraction showed 10 discrete bands, and during the germination the bands of $45,000{\sim}70,000$ dalton become diminished or disappeared. But the bands of 30,000, 60,000 dalton did not change throughout the germination period.

The male and female muscle of the 16 major bands in the protein patterns of the tissues of the mud-snail, Cipangopaludina chinensis malleata, were almost similar, and the bands E (Mr. 41,500), H (Mr. 52,100), L (Mr. 71,700), N(Mr. 98,500), O (Mr. 107,900) and P (Mr. 112,900) had the same molecular weights which appear in the muscles, testis and ovary. But it showed that the testis and the ovary had their characteristic patterns, and it was also observed that, besides the bands common to all tissues, the bands which appear both in the testis and the ovary are about five: the bands d (Mr. 15,600), k (Mr. 37,100), p (Mr. 57,000), s (Mr. 80,300), and v (Mr. 105,400). The result of the amino acid analysis showed that the quantity and composition of amino acid appeared, as the protein pattersn did, in the order of ovary, muscles and testis. This reveals that in the ovary a great quantity of protein which appears in the whole body was investigated, while the testis contained only little protein due to the phenomenon of morphogenesis in which sperms were developed through the condensation of the nuclei.

Soluble protein of purified Pneumocvstis cnrinii was prepared from experimentally infected rats. SDS-PAGE of the crude antigen resolved about 20 protein bands from 20 to 200 kDa. Out of thenl, 116 kDa band strongly reacted and 45-55 and 100 kDa bands reacted weakly to the positive reference human serum from U.S.A. Western blot analysis with sera of 130 normal children and 15 newborns in Korea revealed specific IgG antibody reaction to 40-55 and 116 kDa protein bands. Forty percent (40.0%) of the 145 sera were positive with any of the antigenic protein bands of R corinii. The positive rate was 56% in 50 males and 33.3% in 48 females. The protein bands 40-55 and 116 kDa from rat P. carinii were confirmed to cross-react with human sera in Korea.

The possibility of using sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was studied to detect specific proteins and their content in meat products such as beef, pork, fish, soybean, fish paste, ham and fish sausage. Many complicated bands were observed in the total protein fractions of the tested samples. The number of protein bands in the low salt-soluble protein fractions was considerably lesser and showed more specific bands in comparison with total protein fractions. Actone-insoluble fractions of non-meat proteins showed different patterns from meat proteins. A heating procedure seemed to be a cause for the diminished number and quantity of resolved protein bands in sausages. The results suggest that the discgel electrophoresis can be used to detect specific proteins and their content in protein foods, if a selective extraction method is emplyed.

This study was carried out to immunologically characterize Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t) antigens. Protein patterns of ultrasonicated- antigens of B. thuringiensis subspecies using SDS- PAGE revealed marked similarities among all the strains analyzed except for the difference between quantative variations of bands and some protein antigens. The comparison of the protein patterns showed that the protein antigen of 45 kilodalton (kd) was common in 11 strains and that the difference between B. thuringiensis subsp. canadensis and galleriae was noticed in quantative variations of bands despite of ambiguous serogrouping, suggesting a useful method for identification. All strains examined showed similar antigenic patterns in SDS-PAGE, while immunodominant bands differed in antigenic reactivity in western blot using polyclonal antibodies. Polyclonal antibody to B. thuringiensis subsp. thuringiensis and israelensis in indirect immunofluorescence assay reacted with flagella and cell surface antigens. The present study indicates that SDS-PAGE and western blot analysis may be used as tools for differentiation and identification of B. thuringiensis subspecies.

Eighty-five different cultivars of Brassica rapa, B. juncea, B. nap us, B. carinata, B. oleracea and hexaploid Brassica collected from Bangladesh, Japan, China and Denmark were analyzed by SDS-PAGE for seed and leaf protein variations, using esterase, acid phosphatase and peroxidase isozyme analysis. Ten polymorphic bands were identified from seed protein however no identifiable polymorphic band was found in the leaf protein. Polymorphic markers clearly distinguished the different Brassica species as well as yellow sarson (YS) and brown seeded (BS) cultivars of B. rapa. The $F_1$ cross between YS and brown seeded cultivars showed the existance of all poly-morphic bands of the respective parents. The Bangla-deshi and Japanese cultivars of B. rapa differed in the amount of seed protein. In the case of isozyme analysis, esterase showed the highest number of polymorphic bands (13) followed by acid phosphatase (9) and peroxidase (5). These polymorphic markers were very effec-tive for classification of all the species studied in this experiment. In parentage tests using isozymes, the hybridity of intra-and-interspecific crosses of almost all the seedlings could be identified from their respective cross combinations. Esterase polymorphism showed a clear differentiation between YS and BS types of B. rapa. In addition, two esterase polymorphic markers were iden ified to differentiate some cultivars of B. juncea. Segregation patterns in these two esterase bands showed a simple Mendelian monohybrid ratio of 3:1 in $F_2$, 1:1 in test cross and 1:0 in back cross progenies. No polymorphic band was identified to distinguish different cultivars of the same species by acid phosphatase or peroxidase. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was carried out with seed coat color specific marker of B. juncea. The yellow seeded cultivars produced a strong band at 0.5 kb and weak band 1.2 kb. In the addition of these two specific bands, Japanese yellow-seeded cultivars expressed two more weak bands at 1.0 kb and 1.1 kb. Where the brown seeded cultivars generated a single strong band at 1.1 kb. In segregating population, the yellow seed coat color marker segregated at a ratio 15 (brown) : 1 (yellow), indicating the digenic inheritance pattern of the trait.
