The concentrations of some components of the serum in a liver function test were determined in samples of 74 apparently healthy dairy cattle, imported from foreign countries in Jeonnam district, during the periods of June to September of 1975 and July to August of 1976. The ranges, mean concentrations and activities of the SGOT, SGPT, SALP, thymol turbidity, total protein, serum albumin, serum globulin, A/G ratio, total bilirubin and total cholesterol were investigated in this work. This results obtained in the survey were summarized as follows: 1. The SGOT activities obtained from Holstein cows ranged from 57 to 129 Sigma Frankel units/ml, with a mean of $96.5{\pm}19.38$ S.F. units/ml. 2. The SGPT activities obtained from Holstein cows ranged from 5 to 49 Sigma Frankel units/ml, with a mean of $21.27{\pm}9.52$ S.F units/ml. 3. The alkaline phosphatase activities of serum obtained from Holstein cows ranged from 0.3 to 3.8 Sigma Frankel units/ml, with a mean of $1.88{\pm}0.94$ S.F. units/ml. 4. The thymol turbidity of serum obtained from Holstein cows ranged from 0.2 to 4.4 Shank Hoagland units/ml, with a mean of $1.69{\pm}0.30$ S.H units/ml. 5. The total serum protein values of Holstein cows ranged from 5.9 to 8.6g/100ml with a mean of $7.17{\pm}0.65g/100ml$. 6. The serum albumin values of Holstein cows ranged from 2.5 to 4.3g/100ml with a mean of $3.24{\pm}0.28g/100ml$. 7. The serum globulin values of Holstein cows ranged from 2.9 to 5.8g/100ml with a mean of $4.02{\pm}0.72g/100ml$. 8.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a highly contagious enteric viral disease of pigs with watery diarrhea in piglets, which ultimately results in huge economic losses in the swine industry. The spike (S) protein plays an important role in viral pathogenicity, tissue tropism, infection, dissemination and the trypsin-dependent proliferation of the PED virus (PEDV). In the present study, we determined the full-length spike (S) gene sequences of twenty PEDV field strains detected in Jeonbuk province in 2022. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the twenty PEDV field strains were classified into G2b group and shared 98.6~100% of nucleotide homology and 97.4~100% of amino acid homology with each other. Mutations of amino acid sequences on the neutralizing epitope of S protein were observed in the twenty field strains compared to the previous vaccine strain SM-98-1 (G1a group). Therefore, these amino acid mutations in the PEDV S protein may result in a new genotype of the virus and highly pathogenic virus, so continuous monitoring is required.

An antiviral protein (CAP30) with ribosome-inactivating activity was purified from the leaves of Chenopodium album L. through ammonium sulfate precipitation and column chromatography using S-Sepharose, Blue-Sepharose, FPLC Suprose12 HR, and FPLC Mono-S. The molecular wight of CAP30 was estimated to be 30kD. CAP30 was thermostable, maintaing its activity even after incubation at $70^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, and was stable in the pH range of 6 to 9. In a cell-free in vitro translation system using rabbit reticulocyte lysate, protein synthesis was inhibited by the addition of CAP30 with an $IC_{50}$ of 2.26pM. The comparison of N-terminal amino acid sequences of this protein with known ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) revealed that it had some sequence homology with PAP-S and PAP-R from pokeweed (Phytolacca americana)and dodecandrin from P. dodecandra, but had no sequence homology with RIPs from other plants belonging to different orders. The mosaic symptoms on tobacco leaves caused by cucumber mosaic virus infection was completely inhibited by 100 ng/ml of the pure CAP30 protein.

Background: Pollen is an important source of protein and lipids for many animals including honey bees. In order to understand the foraging behaviour of honey bee colonies and preference among the available floral resources, pollen collections from three experimental healthy colonies of honey bees were analysed in the month of June. Results: The amount of pollen collections were related to the colony's need which was indicated by the number of larval and adult bees present in the hive. Interesting was the sequence of pollen collection from different floral sources. All honey bee colonies collected pollens from Trifolium repens first, then Erigeron annus and the third choice was Coreopsis drummondii and Oenothera biennis flowers. Total protein content of Trifolium pollen was the highest (20.0 g/100 g DM), and the others were in the range of 8.9-11.4 g/100 g DM. Conclusion: The results indicated that the first criteria for honey bee foraging preference of pollens would be the nutritional contents of protein and the resource availability of the lesser nutritious floral sources. This information can help pollinator protection programmes of habitat manipulation using flowering plants for nectar and pollen sources.

Optimum conditions for hydrolysis were investigated to enhance water-solubilities of protein-bound polysaccharides in the basidiocarps of Ganoderma lucidum by treating chymotrypsin. We also attempted with Ganoderma lucidum residue remaining after extracting hot water-soluble compoents in Ganoderma lucidum. After hydrolyzing under optimum conditions (20 ppm chymotrypsin, 2% Gampderma lucidum or 6% Ganoderma lucidum residue, at pH 10 and at $ 40^{\circ}C$), the amounts of total protein and carbohydrate of hydrolysate were measured. Michaelis constant, $K_{m}$, and maximum rate, $V_{max}$, calculated by Lineweaver-Buck plot for the hydrolysis of Ganoderma lucidum were 1.73% and 0.073%/min respectively and those for hydrolysis of Ganoderma lucidum residue were 2.40% and 0.033%/min respectively. The amount of polysaccharide isolated from Ganoderma lucidum (100 g) treated with chymotrypsin was only 3.07 g, but significantly increased amount (14.34 g) of polysaccharides was isolated from Ganoderma lucidum residue (100 g) treated with chymotrypsin. The protein-bound polysaccharide was isolated from the non-hydrolyzed and hydrolyzed sample and molecular weights of the polysaccharide were measured by Sepharose CL-48 gel filtration.

Citrus macroptera (Rutaceae) has long been used in folk medicine in Bangladesh. Considering the folkloric context, this study was aimed to scrutinize anti-proliferative activity of C. macroptera fruit pulp juice (CMFPJ) against Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma (EAC). The anti-proliferative capacity of CMFPJ was investigated and confirmed primarily using MTT assay. In vivo anti-proliferative aptitude of CMFPJ was investigated with 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg/day intraperitoneal (i.p.) treatment. Anti-proliferative efficacy of CMFPJ was assessed based on EAC growth inhibition. CMFPJ inhibited EAC growth in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. And the percentages of in vivo EAC growth inhibition were 19.53, 49.2, and 68.9% at 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg CMFPJ respectively. CMFPJ significantly induced expression of apoptosis regulatory genes caspase-8, caspase-9, cytochrome-c, and caspase-3. This considerable anti-cancer activity was perhaps due to combinatorial effect of lectin, polyphenols, and flavonoids present in CMFPJ.

L. edodes의 배양액 및 균사체로부터 항암작용이 있는 단백 다당류의 추출 및 정제방법에 관한 실험을 실시하였다. 단백다당류 추출에서 비이온성 계명 활성제인 2% Triton X-100 용액으로 추출할 경우 상온에서 추출하여도 통상의 10$0^{\circ}C$ 열수 추출을 통해 얻을 수 있는 것보다 수율이 높았다. 그러나 계명활성제 용액에 4N NaCl을 첨가하여 추출하면 ethanol 침전과정에서 단백다당류의 침전물을 얻을 수 없었다. 열수 추출에 있어서 추출 온도는 10$0^{\circ}C$가 효과적이고 추출 시간은 4시간 정도면 충분하였다. 열수 추출 결과 ethanol 침전 및 동결건조를 통하여 얻어진 조단백 다당류의 정제 실험에서는 alumina를 충전제로 하는 gel filtration보다 sephadex에 의한 gel filtration 또는 DEAE-cellulose, DEAE-sephadex를 이용한 ion exchange chromatography가 보다 효과적이다.

한국산 표고버섯 산련 1호를 C/N비가 13.1인 버섯 완전액체배지에서 배양하여 균사체를 증식시킨 후 생리활성을 보이는 단백다당체를 추출하였다. 표고버섯 균사체 액체배양시 생성되는 단백다당체는 균사체 세포벽에 약 80%가 존재하고, 약 20%정도는 세포밖으로 분비하는 것으로 나타나 단백다당체의 추출은 균사체가 함유된 배양액 전체를 이용하여 추출하는 것이 높은 수율을 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 균사체로부터 단백다당체의 추출방법으로 열수추출 및 glass bead mill로 세포벽을 파쇄한 후 열수추출, cellulase 처리 후 열수추출을 비교한 결과 물리적으로 세포벽을 파쇄한 후 60분간 열수추출하는 것이 배양액 100 mL당 약 930 mg의 조단백다당체가 추출되어 수율이 가장 높았다. 추출한 조단백다당체를 사용하여 protease 처리, 그리고 DEAE-cellulose 및 Sephadex G-100 column chromatography를 통하여 단백다당체를 정제한 후 단계별 시료에 대한 mouse leukemic cell인 $P_{388}$의 증식억제는 53.7, 62.2, 93.7, 97.4%로 정제도가 높아짐에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. Sephadex G-100 column으로 처리한 정제 단백다당체를 TLC/FID로 분석한 결과 단일 peak로 나타나 순수물질임을 확인하였다. 그리고 단백다당체의 성분을 분석한 결과 다당함량은 46.1%로 구성단당류는 glucose 및 galactose, xylose, mannose로 구성되어 있었고, 단백질은 약 7.3%로 주로 proline 및 glycine의 함량이 높았으며 methionine 및 leucine은 거의 없는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그외에 무기질로서 Na, K, Zn, Ca 등이 존재하는 것으로 나타났다.
