Glutathione S-transferases(GSTs, EC 2.5.1.18), glyoxalase-I(EC 4.4.1.5) and alliin lyase(alliinase, EC 4.4.1.4) are important enzyme systems in plant bodies. The first two are mainly detoxifying enzymes that utilize glutathione(GSH) in the defense mechanism, and the last one is mainly involved in secondary metabolism and relevant to sulfur compounds derived from GSH. The activities of the three enzymes have been investigated in soluble extracts of vegetable crops, including pumpkin, cabbage, broccoli, radish, carrot, potato, sweet potato, mungbean, and onion. GST activities were detected in all of the vegetables, and the extract of onion bulb exhibited the highest specific activity(648 nmol/min/mgP). The putative GSTs of most of the vegetables were found to be induced by ethanol. The activities of GSTs in onion bulb were found to be markedly inhibited by S-hexyl glutathione and were also inhibited by S-butyl glutathione and S-propyl glutathione. The anti-CmGSTF1 antiserum recognized a thick band for putative onion GST. The estimated glyoxalase-I activity level was also high in onion bulb(4540 nmol/min/mgP), indicating that the thick band detected by Western blot analysis might result from partial recognition of glyoxalase-I by the antiserum. The specific activities for glyoxalase-I were moderate in radish and carrot, and the extracts of other vegetables had rather low levels of activities. The extract of onion also showed the highest specific activity level for alliinase(2069nmol pyruvate/mgP). The extracts of other vegetables also had alliinase activities, although the estimated values were much lower than that of onion.

Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the impacts of active and passive immunization against synthetic inhibin and steroid-free bovine follicular fluid, respectively, on reproductive fecundity out of breeding season in Iraqi Awassi ewes. Methods: Follicular fluid was aspired from mature bovine follicles, treated with activated charcoal, and used for immunization of male rabbits for obtaining steroid free bovine follicular fluid (SFBFF) antiserum. Forty non-pregnant Awassi ewes were allocated into 4 groups (n = 10 each). At day 38 of experiment, ewes were treated with intra-vaginal MPA sponge (60 mg for 12 days). At days 0, 28, and 50, ewes were treated with 4, 2, and 2 mL of normal saline (control; C-ve), 400, 200, and $200{\mu}g$ of ovalbumin (C+ve), 400, 200 and $200{\mu}g$ of inhibin (SI group), respectively, and 4 mL of normal saline at day 0, and 4 and 2 mL of SFBFF antiserum at days 28 and 50, respectively, (AI group). After mating with Awassi rams, pregnancy and embryo number were diagnosed, at day 38 of pregnancy, using ultrasonography. Blood samples were collected at days 30, 60, 90, and 120 of pregnancy, for assessment of estradiol-$17{\beta}$ (E2) and progesterone (P4) levels. After parturition, numbers of delivered lambs were recorded. Results: The results revealed significant increase of P4 and significant decrease of E2 levels in SI and AI pregnant ewes than controls at days 30, 60, 90, and 120. Newborn number increased significantly in SI and AI treated than control ewes. Conclusion: Active or passive immunization against endogenous inhibin could augment reproductive fecundity out of breeding season in Iraqi Awassi ewes.

Melon necrotic spot virus (MNSV) was recently identified on watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris) in Korea, displaying as large necrotic spots and vein necrosis on the leaves and stems. The average occurrence of MNSV on watermelon was found to be 30-65% in Hapcheon and Andong City, respectively. Four isolates of the virus (MNSV-HW, MNSV-AW, MNSV-YW, and MNSV-SW) obtained from watermelon plants in different areas were non-pathogenic on ten general indicator plants, including Chenopodium quinoa, while they infected systemically six varieties of Cucurbitaceae. The virus particles purified by 10-40% sucrose density gradient centrifugation had a typical ultraviolet spectrum, with a minimum at 245 nm and a maximum at 260 nm. The morphology of the virus was spherical with a diameter of 28-30 nm. Virus particles were observed scattered throughout the cytoplasm of watermelon cells, but no crystals were detected. An ELISA was conducted using antiserum against MNSV-HW; the optimum concentrations of IgG and conjugated IgG for the assay were $1{\mu}l/ml$ and a 1:8,000-1:10,000 dilutions, respectively. Antiserum against MNSV-HW could capture specifically both MNSV-MN from melon and MNSV-HW from watermelon by IC/RT-PCR, and they were effectively detected with the same specific primer to produce product of 1,172 bp. The dsRNA of MNSV-HW had the same profile (4.5, 1.8, and 1.6 kb) as that of MNSV-MN from melon. The nucleotide sequence of the coat protein of MNSV-HW gave a different phylogenetic tree, having 17.2% difference in nucleotide sequence compared with MNSV isolates from melon.

Chymotrypsin, trypsin, pancreatin, 그리고 Aspergillus oryzae 유래 단백질분해효소의 in vitro 처리에 의하여 유청단백질(WPI)의 가수분해물(WPH)중 ${\beta}-LG$유래의 항원성변화를 조사하기 위하여 토끼 항${\beta}-LG$항혈청을 이용한 competitive inhibition ELISA(cELISA)와 heterologous PCA를 실시하였다. cELISA에 의하여 WPH의 monovalent항원성을 분석한 결과, 전체적으로 ${\beta}-LG$유래의 monovalent항원성은 효소처리에 의하여 $10^{-1.7}{\sim}10^{-4.1}$배 또는 그 이하로 저하되었으며, 특히 pepsin전처리후 Asp. oryzae유래의 효소로 가수분해한 경우(OUP)의 항원성은 거의 상실되었다. Guinea pig를 이용한 PCA test에 의하여 ${\beta}-LG$유래의 polyvalent항원성을 분석한 결과, WPH의 항원성은 $1/2{\sim}1/128$ 또는 그 이하로 저하되었다. 특히, WPH중에서 열변성이나 pepsin의 전처리없이 Asp. oryzae유래의 효소로 가수분해한 경우(OUN), 가수분해도(DH)가 그다지 높지 않고 monovalent항원성도 여전히 잔존하였음에도 불구하고($10^{-3.2}$배로 저하) 알레르기의 발증과 밀접한 관련이 있는 polyvalent항원성은 거의 상실되었다. 이는 OUN의 분해효율이 아주 높지는 않으나 ${\beta}-LG$상의 항원결정기가 효과적으로 파괴되어, polyvalent항원성이 제거되었기 때문으로 추측된다. 이 결과는, Asp. oryzae유래의 효소를 WPI에 처리하면 우유 알레르기의 주요 원인물질인 ${\beta}-LG$의 polyvalent항원성이 제거됨으로써 저알레르기성 infant formula용 WPH가 제조될 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.

Chymotrypsin, trypsin, pancreatin, 그리고 Aspergillus oryzae 유래 단백질분해효소의 in vitro처리에 의하여 유청단백질(WPI)의 가수분해물(WPH)중 ${\alpha}-LA$ 유래의 항원성변화를 조사하기 위하여 토끼 항 ${\alpha}-LA$ 항혈청을 이용한 competitive inhibition ELISA(cELISA)와 heterologous PCA를 실시하였다. cELISA에 의하여 WPH의 monovalent항원성을 분석한 결과, pepsin전처리는 chymotrypsin, trypsin 그러고 pancreatin 가수분해물의 항원성을 더욱 감소시키는 효과가 있었으며, 열 전처리는 Asp. oryzae 유래효소 및 trypsin 가수분해물의 항원성을 더욱 감소시켰다 전체적으로 ${\alpha}-LA$유래의 monovalent 항원성은 효소처리에 의하여 $10^{-2.5}-10^{-5.5}$배 또는 그 이하로 저하되었으며, 특히 열 및 pepsin 전처리후 trypsin으로 가수분해한 경우(TDP)의 항원성은 거의 상실되었다. WPH의 가수분해도와 ${\alpha}-LA$유래의 monovalent 항원성 감소는 그다지 일치하지 않았다. Guinea pig를 이용한 PCA test에 의하여 ${\alpha}-LA$유래의 polyvalent 항원성을 분석한 결과 WPI 및 ${\alpha}-LA$는 양성으로 높게 나타났으나, WPH는 전처리유무에 관계없이 모두 음성으로 나타났다. 이는 WPI의 가수분해로 생성된 ${\alpha}-LA$유래의 peptide가 특이항체와 결합은 가능하나 생체내에서 알레르기를 유발하지 않음을 뜻하였다. 따라서, 유청단백질을 효소로 가수분해하면 유청단백질중 ${\alpha}-LA$의 allergenicity는 쉬 파괴됨을 알 수 있었다.

Wasabies showing mosaic symptoms were collected and extracted for virus purification. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was identified as causal agent by electron microscopy and nucleic acid and coat protein analyses. TMV strains were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). TMV was identified as W and C strain in wasabi. The results of host reaction indicated that this virus induced local lesions on Nicotiana tabacum cv. Bright Yellow and N. glutinosa, leaf spots on Chenopodium amaranticolor and mosaic symptoms on wasabi. Rot shape virus particles were observed and was about 300 nm in length. About 6.5 kb single RNA molecule was observed from extracted viral RNA sample and 26 KDa coat protein was detected in denatured acrylamide gel. Infection ratio of TMV was 8% for the first cultivation year, but was 22% for the second year when TMV-W antiserum was used. The results of this experiment showed that infection ratios of both TMV-W and TMV-C strains were higher compared to that of TMV-P strain.

The effects of nalbuphine.HCI on the spontaneous locomotor activity and primary humoral immune response were investigated in ICR mice. Nalbuphine was intraperitoneally administered with the dose of 130, 260, 360 mg/kg in mice. The locomotor activity such as distance traveled was observed for 90min at 10min intervals. Nalbuphine showed the biphasic dose-response relationship on the spontaneous locomotor activity. IgM plaque forming cells(PFC) in splenocytes and IgM level in antiserum were significantly decreased depending on the dose of nalbuphine when nalbuphine was administered after the immunization, but slightly increased only at the low dose in the case of nabuphine administration after the immunization(SRBC).
