PA를 분석하기 위하여 효소면역측정법을 개발하고자 하였다. Bc방법과 Po방법으로 BSA에 PA를 conjugation하여 각각의 PA-BSA conjugate(PA-BSA[Bc]와 PA-BSA[Po])를 제조하였으며, 이를 토끼에 면역하여 항PA-BSA 항체를 얻었다. 항PA-BSA[Po] 항체를 사용한 ciELISA의 결과에서 경합반응이 제대로 일어나지 않았기 때문에, 식품 속에 있는 PA를 검출하기 위해서 PA-BSA[Po]을 코팅한 후 항PA-BSA[Bc] 항체를 사용하였다. 이 결과에서 PA의 검출한계가 1 ppm인 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 교차반응을 통해 PA 유도체들에 대해서도 항PA-BSA[Bc] 항체가 PA에 대해 특이성이 매우 강하였다. 또한, MBA의 결과에서는 그 검출한계가 10ppb인 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 분석시료인 계란(109%), 상추(64%), 소간(344%)의 식품시료에 대한 실험에서 상추를 제외하고는 ciELISA는 MBA의 결과와 비교해 볼 때 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 그러므로, ciELISA는 MBA보다 분석시간, 교차반응 등의 면에서 장점이 있어 식품 중 PA의 검출에 효과적으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

In Iran, $Plasmodium$ $vivax$ is responsible for more than 80% of the infected cases of malaria per year. Control interventions for vivax malaria in humans rely mainly on developed diagnostic methods. Recombinant $P.$ $vivax$ apical membrane antigen-1 (rPvAMA-1) has been reported to achieve designing rapid, sensitive, and specific molecular diagnosis. This study aimed to perform isolation and expression of a rPvAMA-1, derived from Iranian patients residing in an endemic area. Then, the diagnostic efficiency of the characterized Iranian PvAMA-1 was assessed using an indirect ELISA method. For this purpose, a partial region of AMA-1 gene was amplified, cloned, and expressed in pET32a plasmid. The recombinant $His-tagged$ protein was purified and used to coat the ELISA plate. Antibody detection was assessed by indirect ELISA using rPvAMA-1. The validity of the ELISA method for detection of anti-$P.$ $vivax$ antibodies in the field was compared to light microscopy on 84 confirmed $P.$ $vivax$ patients and compared to 84 non-$P.$ $vivax$ infected individuals. The ELISA cut-off value was calculated as the mean+2SD of OD values of the people living in malaria endemic areas from a south part of Iran. We found a cut-off point of OD=0.311 that showed the best correlation between the sera confirmed with $P.$ $vivax$ infection and healthy control sera. A sensitivity of 81.0% and specificity of 84.5% were found at this cut off titer. A good degree of statistical agreement was found between ELISA using rPvAMA-1 and light microscopy (0.827) by Kappa analysis.

We established ELISA method which is more rapid and safe than conventional analytical method, and then analyzed concentration of ochratoxin A in the rices by ELISA method. The results were as follows: 1. Since ochratoxin A molecular does not contain the group for coupling reaction, it was first proposed to have the function of an antigen. As a result of conjugation of ochratoxin A-BSA derivatives, one molecular of BSA was conjugated with 13 moleculars of ochratoxin A. 2. On the basis of established ELISA to apply for immuno analytical method of ochratoxin A, the minimal level of detection by ELISA method was at 0.5 ppb. 3. Rices (42) were collected from homes of Kyoungnam districts through November 1992 to December 1992, as a result of analysis, two of these were positive. Rice samples of R-1 and R-9 represented ochratoxin A levels of 6.0 ng/g and 10 ng/g, respectively.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection in Chonbuk province. Blood samples were taken from 92 korean calves to determined their serological status against BVDV, Capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to test for antigen. The number of seropositive calves ranged from 3.3% to 12.9%. Antigens against BVDV were detected in 3.3% of healthy calves, 6.4% of digestive symptom calves, 12.9% of respiratory symptom calves, respectively. Sex and age of calves had no significant differences on the prevalence of BVDV. The results indicate that transmission of BVDV may have become exposed as a result of contact with acute infected or persistently infected cattle.

항정자항체를 검사할 수 있는 면역분석법개발을 위하여 immunoaffinity chromatography로 분리 정제한 정자표현항원을 microtiter plate에 고정화 시킨것과 효소와 화학발광체로 표지된 2차항체를 사용하여 ELISA법과 CIA법을 개발하고 이 방법의 이용 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 기존 방법인 Kibrick test법으로 임상소견이 다른 남성혈청을 분석 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 인간정자 표면항원을 분리하기 위한 immunoaffinity column을 제작키 위하여 인간정자를 토끼에 주사하여 정자에 대한 항혈청을 생산하였으며 이를 Protein A-Sepharose column으로 분리 정제하여 CNBr activated Sepharose-4B에 coupling시켜 immunoaffinity column을 제작하였다. 이 column에 균질화된 정자를 반응시키고 SDS를 넣은 Tris-HCI buffer로 용출시켰을때 60KD정도의 분자량을 갖는 분획을 얻었다. 2. 분리 정제된 human IgG를 microtier plate에 농도를 달리하여 고정화 시키고 ELISA용 Goat anti-human IgG-HRP conjugate와 CIA용 Rabbit anti-human IgG-ABEI-H conjugate와 반응시켜 그 활성도를 측정하였던 바 농도에 따라 반응의 정도가 감소하였다. 3. ELISA법으로 양성혈청의 희석곡선을 작성하였을때 경사가 완만한 것과 급한 것의 두 종류의 경향을 띈 곡선으로 대별되었으며 완만한 경사를 나타내는 것에서 1:160 희석치에서 O.D가가 0.1이하를 음성, 0.1이상 0.2이하를 약양성(weak positive) 그리고 0.2이상을 양성으로 판별하였다. 4. ELISA, CIA 그리고 Kibrick test로 동일시료를 분석 비교하였던바 ELISA와 CIA는 거의 동일한 상관관계를 보였으나 Kibrick test와는 50% 수준만 일치함을 보였다.

Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH) is a strong target antigen for the determination of infection with Plasmodium species specifically. However, a more effective antibody is needed because of the low sensitivity of the current antibody in many immunological diagnostic assays. In this study, recombinant Plasmodium vivax LDH (PvLDH) was experimentally constructed and expressed as a native antigen to develop an effective P. vivax-specific monoclonal antibody (mAb). Two mAbs (2CF5 and 1G10) were tested using ELISA and immunofluorescence assays (IFA), as both demonstrated reactivity against pLDH antigen. Of the 2 antibodies, 2CF5 was not able to detect P. falciparum, suggesting that it might possess P. vivax-specificity. The detection limit for a pair of 2 mAbs-linked sandwich ELISA was 31.3 ng/ml of the recombinant antigen. The P. vivax-specific performance of mAbs-linked ELISA was confirmed by in vitro-cultured P. falciparum and P. vivax-infected patient blood samples. In conclusion, the 2 new antibodies possessed the potential to detect P. vivax and will be useful in immunoassay.

Enhancement of antigen-specific IgE is a hallmark of allergic hyperresponsiveness, therefore it is necessary to adopt or develop a highly sensitive and specific assay for determination of allergen-specific IgE levels in vivo. In this presentation, we introduce an ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) system developed to measure the levels of chicken egg ovalbumin (OVA)-specific IgE in serum. The ELISA method uses a commercially available purified rat anti-mouse IgE as a capture Ab and biotinylated OVA as a detection reagent. Avidin-peroxidase with its substrate is used for color development resulting in optical density measurement at 405 nm. The ELISA system produces a highly sensitive dose-response relation-ship between optical density levels and the dilution titer of the OVA-IgE standard serum but no cross-reaction with unrelated IgE or IgG. It is believed that the system is an Efficient tool to delineate an adjuvant effect of environmental pollutants on development of asthmatic and atopic responses.

A total of 492 cattle sera was screened by IgG-ELISA against Neospora caninum (Nc-1 strain and a Korean isolate, KBA-2) and Toxoplasna gondii. Out of 492, 113 sera (23.0%) reacted positively to either Nc-1 or KBA-2 strains of N. caninum. Among the 113 positive sera, 92 sera (81.4%) reacted with antigens of both strains, but 6 sera (5.3%) with Nc-1 and 15 sera (13.3%) with KBA-2 strain only And with T. gondii antigen, 6 sera (1.2%) were positive but all reacted with N. caninum antigen also. Western blot revealed typical binding pattern according to ELISA values, such that high OD group reacted specifically to the major surface proteins including 43 kDa protein. Seroprevalence of 23.0% indicates that neosporosis seemed to be one of major causes of abortion in cattle. It is suggested here to establish more epidemiological researches nationwide systematically.

Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) also known as plasma procarboxypeptidase B or U is a 60 kD glycoprotein, which is the major modulator of fibrinolysis in plasma. TAFI is a proenzyme, which is activated by proteolytic cleavage to an active carboxypeptidase B-like enzyme (TAFIa, 35.8 kD) by thrombin/thrombomodulin and plasmin. Modulation of fibrinolysis occurs when TAFIa enzymatically removes C-terminal lysine residues of partially degraded fibrin, thereby inhibiting the stimulation of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) modulated plasminogen activation. TAFIa undergoes a rapid conformational change at $37{^{\circ}C}$ to an inactive isoform called TAFIai. Potato tuber carboxypetidase inhibitor (PTCI) was shown to specifically bind to TAFIa as well as TAFIai. In this study, a novel immunoassay TAFIa/ai ELISA was used for quantitation of the two TAFI activation isoforms TAFIa and TAFIai. The ELISA utilizes PTCI as the capture agent and a double antibody sandwich technique for the detection. Low levels of TAFIa/ai antigen levels were detected in normal plasma and elevated levels were found in hemophilia A plasmas. TAFIa/ai antigen represents a novel marker to monitor fibrinolysis and TAFIa/ai ELISA may be a valuable assay for studying the role of TAFI in normal hemostasis and in pathological conditions.
