The enzymatic properties of $\beta$-galactosidases from Aspergillus oryzae, bovine liver and Saccharomyces pragilis have been studied using enzyme-linked lectin assay based on the RC $A_{120}$ and BS-II lectins which specifically bind to terminal galactose and GlcNAc residue, respectively. Asialofetuin, a monomeric glycoprotein with approximately 48 kDa in molecular weight, was used as a substrate. This glycoprotein contains three N-linked triantennary complex type carbohydrate chains with each of which terminating in Ga1$\beta$P1 longrightarrow4G1cNAc (74%). Their optimal pHs were 3.5 and 6.5 (A. oryzae), and 3.5~5.5 (bovine liver and S. fragilis) at 37$^{\circ}C$ during 24 hrs, and the effective concentrations were 0.9, 2.9, and 1.7 mg/ml, respectively The enzyme from A oryzae requires 100 mM N $a^{+}$ or $K^{+}$, while the enzyme from bovine liver requires $Ba^{2+}$ for activity. However all of the three $\beta$-galactosidases were inactivated by SDS and C $u^{2+}$. These results indicate that the hydrolysis of glycoprotein such as asialofetuin depends on the reaction conditions of $\beta$-galactosidases and some metal ions. ions.

A 5-month-old Holstein downer calf was presented, and bovine viral diarrhea virus was detected in the feces and the cerebrospinal fluid. Combined treatment of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) administration and standing rehabilitation had been performed for two months, and the calf could maintain the standing position for a while. However, the symptoms were not improved, and the calf died due to ruminal tympany and aspiration pneumonia. Megaesophagus, abomasal ulcer, and a normal-sized but softened cerebellum were observed in clinical necropsy. Improvement of symptoms was confirmed by rBST, but was not reached the complete recovery of gait and standing position.

This study was designed to examine the ability of the bovine (MII) oocytes cytoplasm to support several mitotic cell cycles under the direction of differentiated somatic cell nuclei of bovine, porcine, mouse and human. Bovine GV oocytes were matured in TCM-199 supplemented with 10% FBS. At 20h after IVM, recipient oocytes were stained with 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ Hoechst and their 1st polar body (PB) and MII plate were removed by enucleation micropipette under UV filter. Ear skin samples were obtained by biopsy from an adult bovine, porcine, mouse and human and cultured in 10% FBS added DMEM. Individual fibroblast was anlaysed chromosome number to confirm the specificity of species. Nuclear transferred (NT) units were produced by electrofusion of enucleated bovine oocytes with individual fibroblast. The reconstructed embryos were activated in 5 $\mu$M ionomycin for 5 min followed by 1.9 mM 6-dimethylaminopurine (DMAP) in CR1aa for 3 h. And cleaved NT embryos were cultured in CR1aa medium containing 10% FBS on monolayer of bovine cumulus cell for 8 days. Also NT embryo of 4~8 cell stage was analysed chromosome number to confirm the origin of nuclear transferred somatic cell. The rates of fusion between bovine recipient oocytes and bovine, porcine, mouse and human somatic cells were 70.2%, 70.2%, 72.4% and 63.0%, respectively. Also, their cleavage rates were 60.6%, 63.7%, 54.1% and 62.7%, respectively, there were no differences among them. in vitro development rates into morula and blastocyst were 17.5% and 4.3% in NT embryos from bovine and human fibroblasts, respectively. But NT embryos from porcine and mouse fibroblasts were blocked at 16~32-cell stage. The chromosome number in NT embryos from individual fibroblast was the same as chromosome number of individual species. These results show that bovine MII oocytes cytoplasm has the ability to support several mitotic cell cycles directed by newly introduced nuclear DNA.

1. The concentrations of Ang. Ⅱ were 7.2±0.91 × 10³, 3.8±0.34 × 10³, 3.5±0.30 × 10³, 2.8±0.22 × 10³ pg/㎖ in bovine follicular fluids from 1∼3 ㎜, 3∼5 ㎜, 5∼7 ㎜ and 8∼10 ㎜ follicles, respectively. However, the concentrations of Ang. Ⅱ decreased in follicular fluids from large follicles. (omitted)

Pancreatic endocrine cells of the native Korean goat were investigated immunocytochemically at electron microscopic level. All glucagon-, insulin-, somatostatin- and pancreatic polypeptide(PP)-immunoreactive cells were showed chromogranin(CG) immunoreactivity in the secretory granules of each cells. In addition, bovine pancreatic polypeptide immunoreactivity was found to be colocalized in the secretory granules of the glucagon and insulin cells. These observations support that chromogranin is available as the marker of pancreatic endocrine cells on the native Korean goat and BPP colocalized in the secretory granules of glucagon and insulin cells.

Binding of nalidixic acid which is used primarily in the treatment of urinary infection and probenecid which is used as a uricosuric agent to bovine serum albumin were studied using difference spectrophotomeric method. 2-(4'-Hydroxybenzeneazo) bcnzoic acid as a spectrophotometric probe was used for measuring the binding of nalidixic acid and probenecid to bovine serum albumin. The association constants of nalidixic acid and probenecid were $1.58{\times}10^{4}M^{-1}$ and $1.70{\times}10^{4}M^{-1}$, respectively.

Thirteen monoterpenes were examined for their effects on the bovine lens aldose reductase activity. the monoterpenes tested in this study showed mild inhibitory effects except 3-carene which did not show any significant effect. At the concentration of $10^{-3}$ M(+) Pulegon showed 42% inhibition on lens aldose reductase activity, which is the most otent effect among the tested substance.

Based on the static and dynamic adsorption of Streamline DEAE, a modified tank-in-series model including particle size distribution was used to describe the adsorption performance of bovine serum albumin in an expanded bed. The calculated results indicated that the suggested model was able to simulate breakthrough curves under various conditions.

Authors observed an outbreak of bovine coccidiosis at a farm stock in Gyeongnam, Korea, which were diagnosed on the ground of clinical and fecal examination with the following results. Twenty one of thirty four Korean native cattles evacuate feces containing blood and mucus or evacuate entirely of clots of fresh and red blood. On fecal examination showed eimeria zuernii. The patients were recovered with sulfamethazine and amprolium for 5 days. From these results the outbreak was considered to be typical bovine coccidiosis.

We examined the minimal amino acid sequence of bovine lactoferricin (Lfcin-B), a cationic peptide corresponding to residues 17-41 near the N-terminus of bovine lactoferrin, to induce apoptosis in THP-l human monocytic leukemic cells using synthetic peptides. A synthetic peptide (Lfc-17/29, amino acid sequence; FKCRRWQWRMKKL) which is consist of 13 amino acids near the N-terminus of Lfcin-B induced cell death in THP-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner, showing apparent apoptotic changes such as hypodiploid forms of genomic DNA and apoptotic DNA fragmentation.
