The development of an antibody labeling method with $^{99m}$Tc is important for cancer imaging. Most bifunctional chelate methods for $^{99m}$Tc labeling of antibody incorporate a $^{99m}$Tc chelator through a linkage to lysine residue. In the present study, a novel site-specific $^{99m}$Tc labeling method at carbohydrate side chain in the Fc region of 2 antibodies (T101 and rabbit anti-human serum albumin antibody (RPAb)) using dihydrazinophthalazine (DHZ) which has 2 hydrazino groups was developed. The antibodies were oxidized with sodium periodate to pro-duce aldehyde on the Fc region. Then, one hydrazine group of DHZ was conjugated with an aldehyde group of antibody through the formation of a hydrazone. The other hydrazine group was used for labeling with $^{99m}$Tc. The number of conjugated DHZ was 1.7 per antibody. $^{99m}$Tc labeling efficiency was 46-85％ for T101 and 67∼87％ for RPAb. Indirect labeling with DHZ conjugated antibodies showed higher stability than direct labeling with reduced antibodies. High immunoreactivities were conserved for both indirectly and directly labeled antibodies. A biodistribution study found high blood activity related to directly labeled T1 01 at early time point as well as low liver activity due to indirectly labeled T101 at later time point. However, these findings do not affect practical use. No significantly different biodistribution was observed in the other organs. The research concluded that DHZ can be used as a site-specific bifunctional chelating agent for labeling antibody with $^{99m}$Tc. Moreover, $^{99m}$Tc labeled antibody via DHZ was found to have excellent chemical and biological properties for nuclear medicine imaging.edicine imaging.

Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) have been used as diagnostic and analytical reagents since hybridoma technology was invented in 1975. In recent years, antibodies have become increasingly accepted as therapeutics for human diseases, particularly for cancer, viral infection and autoimmune disorders. An indication of the emerging significance of antibody-based therapeutics is that over a third of the proteins currently undergoing clinical trials in the United States are antibodies. Until the late 1980's, antibody technology relied primarily on animal immunization and the expression of engineered antibodies. However, the development of methods for the expression of antibody fragments in bacteria and powerful techniques for screening combinatorial libraries, together with the accumulating structure-function data base of antibodies, have opened unlimited opportunities for the engineering of antibodies with tailor-made properties for specific applications. Antibodies of low immunogenicity, suitable for human therapy and in vivo diagnosis, can now be developed with relative ease. Here, antibody structure-function and antibody engineering technologies are described.

초파리(Drosophila melanogaster)의 두부를 항원으로 사용하여 신경계 특이적인 단일클론항체를 제작하였다. 이 항체의 항원은 expression cDNA library screen을 한 결과 tyrosine kinase substrate의 일종인 disabled 분자를 인식하고, DNA sequencing결과 disabled 단백질의 C-말단부분인 7427에서 8761bp 사이를 특이적으로 인식한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 항원의 국재를 조사한 결과 초기발생단계의 배에서는 중추신경계에 강하게 발현되었으며 성충에서는 시신경계와 뇌신경계 그리고 흉부신경계의 축색돌기가 밀집한 부분에 특이적으로 발현되었고, 또한 근육신경에서도 발현되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 disabled 분자는 배발달단계에서 중추신경계의 발생에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 예상되고, 성체에서는 신경계의 축색에서 뿐 아니라 근신경계에서도 어떤 기능을 수행하는 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives : Socheongryong-Tang(小靑龍湯, SCRT), a herbal remedy, has been widely used to treat respiratory disease such as cough and asthma in Oriental countries. Recent years SCRT was known as anti-allergic agent. However, its therapeutic mechanisms including immunoglobuline such as IgE, IgG1, IgG2a productions are unclear. Methods : We investigated the effects of SCRT on levels of antigen specific total antibody, IgE, IgG1, IgG2a using ELISA method in serum from allergen-induced asthma mice. Results : SCRT decreased level of antigen specific IgE significantly. And SCRT treated mice showed downward tendency of IgG1, a Th1 relative antibody, level. But, SCRT did not affect levels of antigen specific total antibody and IgG2a, a Th1 relative antibody. Conclusions : we demonstrated the strong possibility of SCRT as a complementary or alternative drug to western drug also demonstrated that regulation of Th1/Th2 imbalance may be one of mechanism contributed to treatment for respiratory disease by SCRT.

Quartz crystal microbalance immunosensor has a capacity to perform a label-free and real time detection of a trace amount of analyte through the specific interaction between antibody and antigen. However, immobilization of antibody molecules on the sensor surface is a troublesome procedure for researchers who are not experienced in chemistry. Protein G has a specific affinity to antibody and would serve as a capturing agent for antibody when immobilized on the sensor surface. In this work, we prepared a protein G sensor chip by immobilizing protein G on the surface of quartz crystal microbalance and examined its capability to detect human haptoglobin or human transferrin with unpurified corresponding antiserum. Specific and dose dependent response was observed when the protein G chip was used for detection of antigens after saturated with antiserum. We also verified several advantageous aspects of the protein G chip such as improved flexibility and sensitivity.

As a part of the safety evaluation of Pseudomonas vaccine(CFC-101), antigenicity tests were carried out in guinea pigs and mice. In active systemic anaphylaxis(ASA) test, guinea pigs showed no sign or only moderate sign(1/5) when sensitized and challenged with up to 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. In homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis(PCA) test using guinea pigs, inoculation of CFC-101 alone did not produce CFC-101-specific antibody. When inoculated with 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg plus adjuvant, challenge of 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg produced PCA titer of 32(5/5) but challenge of 20 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg did not produce CFC-101-specific antibody. In heterologous PCA test using mice, CFC-101-specific antibody was not detected when sensitized with CFC-101 alone. Some animals(3/12) showed positive PCA response when inoculated with 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg plus alum. In passive hemagglutination (PHA) test, although no antibody was detected at 20 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, inoculation of 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg alone or with alum produced positive response in all animals. This result has already been predicted because CFC-101 is a vaccine developed for the purpose of immunization. From the above results, it can be concluded that there is no adverse antigenic potential up to 10 times clinical dose of 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg.

요꼬가와홉충을 고양이 등에 실험적으로 감염시키면 그 기생부위인 소장의 점막에는 융모의 위축, 융합 등의 병적 변화가 일정기 간 나타나며 점막기 질(stroma)에는 심한 염증세포의 침윤이 일어난다. 이상의 병리학적 소견을 기초로 생각할 때 요꼬가와흡충 감염 경과중 특이 항체반응이 나타날 것으로 가정할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 요꼬가와흡충의 피낭유충을 10,000개 및 80,000개씩 감염시킨 고양이 25마리에서의 혈청내 특이 IgG 항체가를 면역효소측정법 으로 조사하였다. 자연감염된 은어에서 분리한 피낭유충과 실험감염 개의 소장에서 4주일후 분리한 성충의 생리식염수 추출액을 항원으로 사용하였다. 그리고 감염된 충체의 수를 부검때에 세어 실제 감염략으로 하였다. 특이 IgG 항체가는 대조군 혈청에 비하여 감염 7일째부터 상승하기 시작하였으며 감염후 2∼4주일에 최고치에 도달하였다가 그 이후 일정한 수준을 유지하였다. 특이 IgG항체는 피낭유충 항원보다는 성충 항원에 대하여 더 높게 반응하였다. 그리고 감염충체수가 적은 고양이의 혈청내 IgG 항체가는 같은 감염기간의 대 량감염 고양이에 비하여 음았다.

유가식 배양에서 배지첨가속도가 하이브리도마 세포의 증식과 항체생성속도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 항체 비생성속도 $q_p$값이 변화는, 회분식 배양의 경우 배양 초기에 가장 높았다가 계속 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 배양 48시간 이후부터 배지의 첨가가 시작되는 유가식 배양에서는 qp 값이 배지 첨가직후 부터 빠른 속도로 증가하기 시작해 배양이 끝날 때까지 높은 값으로 유지되었다. 그리고 배지의 비첨 가속도 $q_f$가 증가되면서 항체의 비생성속도 $q_p$도 민감하게 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 생성된 최종 항체농도 $C_{final}$은 배지 첨가속도에 비해 큰 영향을 받지 않고 거의 비슷한 값을 보였지만 평균적으로 회분식 배양보다는 그 값이 3배 이상 증가되어 최고 220$\mu g$/ml까지 향상되었다.

인지질 그 자체만으로는 안정한 이중층 리포좀을 형성하지 못하는 불포화 PE(DOPE)에 palmitoyl가 가 결합된 항체(p-IgG)를 지질층에 삽입시켜 lmm t unoliposome을 제조하고 그 특성에 관하여 살펴 보 았다. 우선 안정된 리포좀을 제조하기 위해서 고려 해야할 인자들로 항체 가공방법, 지질과 항체와의 몰 비, 그리고 각종 첨가제들에 대한 최적 조건을 조 사하였다. 예를 들면 p-IgG와 lipid의 볼비를 $2.5{\times}10^{-4}$ 으로 했을 때 안정한 리포좀을 만들 수 있었으며, 첨가제로 들어가는 DOC의 경우 최종 농도가 O.09wt % 일 때 calcein의 포집률이 최대가 되었고 c calcein의 최종 pH는 8.5~9.5 정도에서 안정한 라포좀이 제조될 수 있었다. 다중 빛 단일클론의 항체 를 삽입한 리포좀을 표면항원을 가진 표적세포와 결합시켰을 때 리포좀이 와해되면셔 포집된 calcein이 방출되는 것으로 보아 삽입된 p-IgG가 PE 리포좀을 형성하는데 필수척임을 알 수 있었다. 또 같은 리포좀을 비특이적인 세포와 접촉시켰을 때에는 아무 런 변화를 보이지 않아 calcein 방출이 항원-항체 반응에 의한 것임을 알 수 있었고 이로부터 표적 민 감성 PE 리포좀이 만들어졌음을 확인하였다.

As previously reported, an immunoglobulin M (IgM) monoclonal antibody (MAb) B6.1, specific for a cell wall B-l,2-mannotriose, was protective against vaginal infection due to Candida albicans when mice were treated with the antibody. In this study, the role of neutrophil was examined in the protective effect of MAb B6.1 against vaginal infection. To deplete neutrophils, mice were given intravenously rat anti-mouse neutrophile MAb RB6-8C5 prior to intraperitoneal administration of MAb B6.1 to these mice. The mice were examined for antibody in their reproductive tract. By an ELISA, MAb B6.1 was found in the vaginal homogenates, but no antibody was detected in vaginal lavage materials. The neutropenia was induced by a single dose of the anti-neutrophil antibody, but lymphocytes were also partially depleted. The protective effect of MAb B6.1 was decreased when mice pretreated with MAb RB6-8C5 were given the anti-Candida antibody before challenge with C. albicans yeast cells intravaginally. These results show that neutrophils are involved in the MAb B6.1 protection against Candida vaginal infection.
