Myogenic satellite cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that activate and differentiate into myotubes. These stem cells are multipotent as they transdifferentiate into adipocyte-like cells, nerve cells and osteocytes. The effects of steroid hormones ($E_2$ and testosterone) were studied as a further step toward understanding the mechanism of MSCs proliferation and differentiation. In this study, MSCs were grown continuously for 87 days, implying that there may be a group of MSCs that continue to proliferate rather than undergoing differentiation. Isolated MSCs were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium supplemented with adult male, female or castrated bovine serum to observe the effect of steroid hormones on MSC proliferation. Cell proliferation was the highest in cultures supplemented with male serum followed by female and castrated serum. The positive effect of male hormone on MSC proliferation was confirmed by the observation of testosterone-mediated increased proliferation of cells cultured in medium supplemented with castrated serum. Furthermore, steroid hormone treatment of MSCs increased lipid accumulation in myotubes. Oil-Red-O staining showed that 17${\beta}$-estradiol ($E_2$) treatment avidly increased lipid accumulation, followed by $E_2$+testosterone and testosterone alone. To our knowledge, this is the first report of lipid accumulation in myotubes due to steroids in the absence of an adipogenic environment, and the effect of steroid hormones on cell proliferation using different types of adult bovine serum, a natural hormonal system. In conclusion, we found that sex steroids affect MSCs proliferation and differentiation, and lipid accumulation in myotubes.

본 논문에서는 10% fetal bovine serum(FBS)를 첨가한 RPMI 1640배지에 비하여 간염바이러스 표면항원에 대한 단일클론항체 생산에 있어서 효과적은 무혈청 배지에 낮은 온도의 혈청을 첨가하여 하이브리도마_2_c3.1 세포에서 그 효과를 조사하였다, 세포성장관 단일클론항체 생산을 증가시키기 위하여 기본 무혈청배지와 RPMI 1640 배지성분들의 농도를 균형있게 강화시킨 배지를 2:1(v / v)로 혼합하여 농축배지를 조성하고, 이 배지에 2mg / ml 인혈청 알부민 $5\;{\mu\textrm{g}}\;/\;ml$ insulin, $5\;{\mu\textrm{g}}\;/\;ml$ tran-sferrin, $10\;{\mu\textrm{g}}\;/\;ml$ monoethanolmine 등의 몇가지 무혈청 첨가물들을 첨가하였다. 이 농축 배지에 fetal bovine serum(FBS)과 supplemented bovine calf serum(sBCS)을 첨가하였을때의 세포성장과 단일클론항체 생산을 비교하여 FBS농도를 변화하여 세포성장과 단일클론항체생산의 증가를 시도하였다. 0.5%를 농축배지에 첨가함으로써 세포성장과 단일클론항체생산의 증가를 보았다. 최대 세포농도는 $3.06{\times}10^6$ cells / ml이었으며, 이때 생산된 단일클론항체는 10% FBS배지의 $43.0\;{\mu\textrm{g}}\;/\;ml$ 무혈청배지의 $50\;{\mu\textrm{g}}\;/\;ml$보다 3배이상 높은 $159.7\;{\mu\textrm{g}}\;/\;ml$이 생산되었다.

In vitro embryo culture techniques provide significant contributions not only for a basic research of fertilization and early embryogenesis, but also for a low cost mass production of bovine embryos for transfer, embryo diagnosis, nuclear cloning and the production of transgenic cows. This presentation introduces newly developed serum-free media (IVD101 and IVMD101) that are effective far high yields of transferable embryos of excellent quality from in vitro-matured and fertilized oocytes. Both serum-free media are superior to a conventional serum-containing medium on the increased rates of blastocyst formation, post-thaw embryo viability, and pregnancy after transfer. Furthermore, reduced risks of calf mortality and large calf syndrome are also observed for the serum-free-derived embryos. Serum-derived embryos contain a large number of lipid droplets and immature mitochondria in their cytoplasm that may account for the lower production of transferable embryos and poor embryo quality.

The present paper demonstrates the expressions and amounts of pepsinogen and prochymosin in neonate, young and adult goat's proper gastric glandular regions by the immunochemical and the immunohistochemical analyses with the anti-bovine pepsinogen serum and anti-bovine chymosin serum. Each bovine serum was demonstrated to have reactivities against corresponding goat's antigen by immunochemical analses and enzymatic activities. The anti-pepsinogen was higher in the new born animals than the maternal milk feeding one, suggesting that the maternal milk might control the pepsinogen production in the proper gastric glands. The patterns of prochymosin expression in the goats was similar to that in cattle.

The mechanism of interaction of four coumarin derivatives (CDS) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied using spectrofluorometric technique. It was found that the coumarin ring common to all CDS makes major contribution to interaction. Binding affinities could be related to parachor values of CDS. Stem-Volmer plots indicated the presence of static component in the quenching mechanism. Results also showed that both tryptophan residues of protein are accessible to CDS. The high magnitude of rate constant of quenching indicated that the process of energy transfer occurs by intermolecular interaction forces and thus CDS binding site is in close proximity to tryptophan residues of BSA. Binding studies in the presence of the hydrophobic probe, 8-anilino-l-naphthalein-sulfonic acid showed that there is hydrophobic interaction between CDS and the probe and they do not share common sites in BSA. Thermodynamic parameters obtained from data at different temperatures showed that the binding of CDS to BSA involve hydrophobic bonds predominantly. The effects of various metal ions on the binding of CDS with BSA were also investigated.

Spectroscopic investigations on the interaction of gabapentin (GBP) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were reported. The association constant of GBP-BSA system was determined at different temperatures (298, 302, 306 and 311 K) based on the fluorescence quenching results. The GBP was found to quench the fluorescence of BSA through static mechanism. Thermodynamic parameters, the standard enthalpy change, $({\Delta}H^o)$ and the standard entropy change $({\Delta}S^o)$ were observed to be $-9.61{\pm}0.008\;kJ\;mol^{-1}$ and $3.58{\pm}0.011\;Jmol^{-1}K{-1}$ respectively. These indicated that the hydrophobic and electrostatic forces played a role in the interaction of GBP with BSA. The negative value of ${\Delta}G^o$ revealed that the binding reaction is spontaneous. The circular dichroism studies indicated the conformational changes in BSA upon interaction with GBP. The effect of some metal ions on the binding constant was also investigated.

This experiment was carried out to determine the progesterone concentration of bovine plasma by liquid phase double antibody enzyme immunoassay. The optimum conditions of assay-system, double (first and second) antibody and carrier (normal rabbit serum) were investigated. The optimum dilution rate of first antibody, second antibody and normal rabbit serum was $10{\times}10^3$ to $15{\times}10^3$, 20 and $1{\times}10^3$ times, respectively.

This study was carried out to evaluate the possibility of sex preselection by gradients methods using bovine serum albumin in rabbits. Artificial insemination was performed with sperm from the top and bottom layer of rabbit semen separated by bovine serum albumin gradients. Various characteristics of separated sperm, and the conception rate and secondary sex ratio at artificial insemination with separated sperm were compared. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The sperm from the bottom layer showed significanty high value in motility, percent of normal sperm and progressive motility as compared with control sperm and the sperm and the sperm from the top layer. 2. The conception rate of sperm from the bottom layer was higher than that of the top layer. But secondary sex ratio was not altered by this methods.

단백질 수용액 중의 초음파흡수 mechanism을 규명하기 위하여 pH 7의 소혈청 albumin(BSA)수용액의 초음파흡수 측정을 주파수 100 kHz에서 1600 MHz에 걸쳐 행하였다. 측정방법은 plano-concave 공명법(0.1${\sim}$10 MHz)과 고분해능 Bragg 반사법(120${\sim}$1600 MHz)을 사용하였다. pH7에서의 초음파흡수스펙트럼은 Davidson-Cole 분포식의 거울상인 분포함수를 사용한 완화곡선과 일치하였다. 이 완화현상을 BSA 분자의 수화평행에 의한 것으로 해석하였다.

The binding of the 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate(ANS) to bovine serum albumin was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. The effect of pH, ionic strength, and protein concentration on the binding of ANS to protein were compared. The binding between ANS and protein was dependent on pH and ionic strength. It seems that both hydrophobic binding and some electrostatic forces are involved in the binding of ANS to protein. The binding constants for ANS increased with increasing protein concentration. This suggests the possibility of a sharing of one ANS molecule by more than one protein molecule at relatively high protein concentration.
