  • 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.

  • 난백에 NaOH, 열, 및 효소를 처리하였을 때, 난백 중의 ovomucoid(OM) 및 ovalbumin(OA)의 항원성 변화를 항OM 및 항OA 항체를 이용하여 간접경합 ELISA로 조사하였다. 효소처리는 OM의 항원성을 효과적으로 감소시키지 못한 반면 OA의 항원성은 식물성, 미생물성 protease를 사용하였을 때 약 1/5,000-1/100,000로 감소되었다. 열처리를 한 난백 중 OM은 $100^{\circ}C$까지 거의 변화하지 않으나 $121^{\circ}C$ 처리에서는 난백의 항원성이 OM은 1/250으로 감소되었다. OA의 항원성은 열처리에 의해 오히려 증가되었으며 최고 100배까지 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. NaOH를 농도별로 처리한 난백 중 OM의 항원성 변화는 0.3%부터 감소하기 시작하여 1%이상에서 항원성이 거의 제거되었다. 반면 OA의 경우는 모든 NaOH 처리농도에서 항원성이 증가하였다. NaOH 처리에 추가적인 열처리($70^{\circ}C$, 15분)를 실시한 것은 난백중 OM과 OA의 항원성 감소에 다소 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate growth response and toxigenicity under various temperature and nutritional conditions, in order to understand the physioecological characteristics of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, which is a bloom-forming cyanobacterium in the Nakdong River. The strain was inoculated into media under combinations of four temperatures (4, 12, 21, $30^{\circ}C$) and three nutrients (modified CB medium, P-depleted CB medium, N-depleted CB medium) for 28 days. The algae-inhibition tests were performed to assess the potential allelopathic effects of the strains' filtrates on the growth of four algae strains (Microcystis aeruginosa, Aulacoseria ambigua f. spiralis, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, Scenedesmus obliquus). Toxin production of a strain was measured by Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSolbent Assay (ELISA). The optimal growth temperature (Topt) of strains was $19.9^{\circ}C$ ($18.3-21.2^{\circ}C$), and the temperature range for growth was from $-0.3^{\circ}C$ to $34.3^{\circ}C$. Specific growth rate (${\mu}$) in modified CB medium varied from 0.10 to $0.16day^{-1}$, and the maximum growth rate (${\mu}_{max}$) was $0.17day^{-1}$. Although growth curves under N-existed and N-depleted conditions were almost the same, growth under N-depleted condition was relatively slowed (${\mu}=0.09$ to $0.14day^{-1}$), with a decreased maximum cell density. However, growth under the P-depleted condition was restricted for all temperatures, Two stains of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae were confirmed as not producing toxins, because saxitoxin and cylindrospermopsin were not detected by ELISA. The exudates or filtrates from the Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (DGUC003) resulted in significant inhibition of algal growth on the Aulacoseira ambigua f. spiralis (DGUD001) and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (DGUC001) (p < 0.01).

  • In order to establish and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to ILTV, field virus strain of ILTV was propagated in chorioallantoic membrane of the embryonated eggs. purified and used as antigen. The antisera selected from the field samples and immunized chickens based on serum neutralization test were used as the standard positive and negative sera in all tests. It was found that optimal antigen concentration was $2{\mu}g$ of protein per well and a 1 : 100 dilution of standard serum showed low background optical density with negative serum and high P/N values of positive sera. A 1 : 500 dilution of the rabbit anti-chicken IgG peroxidase conjugate produced a high P/N values and thirty minutes was chosen as suitable time to read the optical density of the enzyme substrate reaction and optical density was consistent during the 16 hours after stopper was treated. When coated antigen was kept on microplate for varying time up to 16 hours at $4^{\circ}C$ or $37^{\circ}C,$ no significant difference was observed between the treatment. The coated antigen could be kept without change of antigenicity for at least one month at $-70^{\circ}C,\; -20^{\circ}C,\; 4^{\circ}C$ and room temperature. When blocking buffer contanining bovine serum albumin was mixed directly with conjugate and serum at 10% level induced higher P/N values compared to blocking antigen coated microplate with the same blocking buffer. The coefficience of correlation between ELISA and SN test was 0.577. When antibody response of chickens, vaccinated with ILTV, was examined by ELISA and SN test, antibody rising and decay pattern between the two test was similar until 11 weeks of age. However 12 weeks onward antibody titer checked on by SN test was slightly lower than that tested by ELISA.

  • We prepared antibodies from insect glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and assayed the titer. Nine polyclonal antibodies against insect GAGs were raised for development of an ELISA in biological fluids (mice serum). The 3th booster collection of antiserum of BALB/c mice as a primarily antibody was assayed for titer determination by ELISA method. In sandwich ELISA of GAGs derived from Isaria sinclairii or other insects, antiserum from insect GAGs gave satisfactory results for so potent antibody(100: 1~1000:1) raising (manufacturing) agent in range of 10 ng/ml.

  • An ELISA was established to measure bovine IgG directed against the recombinant antigenic determinant of Nc-p43, a major surface antigen of Neospora caninum. In a previous study, two thirds of the C-terminal of the molecule was expressed as a $6{\;}{\times}{\;}His$ tagged protein (Ncp43p) for ELISA using 2/3 of the N-terminal of SAG1 from Toxoplasma gondii as a control (TgSAG1A). Among 852 cattle sera collected from stock farms scattered nation-wide, 103 sera (12.1%) were found to react with Ncp43p positively, but no positive reaction was observed with TgSAG1A. This study shows that Ncp43p could be available as an efficient antigen for the diagnosis of neosporosis in cattle. Furthermore, it together with TgSAG1A, could be useful for the differential diagnosis of N. caninum and T.gondii infections in other mammals.

  • 본 연구는 흰쥐에게 $AFB_1$을 투여하거나 방사선과 $AFB_1$을 병합처리함으로 유발된 흰쥐의 간세포에서의 $AFB_1$-DNA 부가체의 형성과 세포의 산화적 손상에 대한 vitamin C의 효과를 조사하기 위하여 수행되었다. X-ray 조사는 실험기간 내 단 1회로 실험사육기간 1일에 조사 하였고 X-ray 조사 후 vitamin C를 투여하였으며 vitamin C 투여 1시간 후 $AFB_1$을 투여하였다. Vitamin C와 $AFB_1$은 모두 복강투여로 실험 사육 첫 일부터 1회 시작하여 3일에 한번씩, 5회 반복 투였으며 실험동물 사육기간은 총 15일로 하였다. ELISA에 의한 흰쥐의 혈청 내 $AFB_1$ 잔여 농도는 $AFB_1$ 단독 투여군에서 $5.17{\pm}0.34ng/mL$이었으나 여기에 vitamin C 혼합 투여군에서는 $3.23{\pm}0.76ng/ml$가 검출되었다. 간세포의 $AFB_1$-DNA adduct 농도는 $AFB_1$ 단독 투여군에서는 $9.38{\pm}0.41ng/mL$이었으며 2군에 vitamin C를 함께 투여한 3군에서는 $5.28{\pm}0.32ng/ml$로 나타나 2군에 비해 유의적으로(p<0.001) 44% 감소한 양상을 나타내었다. 한편 X선 조사와 $AFB_1$ 병합처리한 4군에 비해 4군에 vitamin C를 투여한 5군에서 혈청 내 $AFB_1$ 함량과 간세포의 $AFB_1$-DNA adduct 함량이 다소 감소하였으나 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 또한 면역조직화학적 관찰에서 $AFB_1$ 단독 투여군에서는 중심정맥과 혈관주변에서 $AFB_1$ 축적이 관찰되었는데 이러한 현상은 vitamin C를 혼합 투여함으로써 중심정맥과 혈관 주변의 갈색 침전이 현저하게 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 X선 조사와 $AFB_1$ 병합 처리한 군에서는 그 정도가 약했다.

  • Hepatitis C is an ailment of liver caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. About 3% of the world population is infected by this virus. HCV infection is a leading reason for liver cirrhosis and therefore a major source of hepatocellular carcinoma. The study focused on the incidence of active HCV infection in blood donors of Mardan district of KPK, Pakistan. A total of 5318 blood donors were inspected for the presence of anti-HCV antibodies and HCV-RNA using ICT (immune-chromatographic test), ELISA and RT-PCR at Mardan Medical Complex (MMC), Mardan. Out of these, 157 (2.95%) were positive by ICT, 60 (1.12%) by ELISA and 56 (1.05%) for HCV-RNA. The frequency of active HCV infectivity amongst the blood donors from district Mardan, KPK Pakistan was 1.05 %. Application of strict measures during blood donor selection and use of proper screening assays such as ELISA in place of ICT devices can give a more accurate picture so that the incidence of this viral infection in HCV negative blood recipients can be reduced.

  • 계란의 방사선 조사 여부를 효소면역 측정법에 의해 판별 가능한지를 검토하기 위해, 방사선에 대해 가장 민감한 것으로 알려진 오브알부민의 항 오브알부민 19G에 대한 반응성을 경합효소면역측정법 (cELISA)에 의해 검토하였다. 계란은 난각이 있는 상태에서 조사선량은 0~7 kGy로 조사하였다. 항 오브알부민 IgG에 대한 오브알부민의 반응성은 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였는데, 감소 정도는 조사선량 의존적으로 변화되어 7 kGy에서 가장 크게 감소하였다. 방사선 조사에 의한 반응성감소 정도는 1.5배 (0.5 kGy)~3.7배 (7 kGy)이었다. 가장 조사선량이 낮은 0.5 kGy에서도 반응성의 감소가 측정 가능했기 때문에 cELISA는 저선량 조사된 계란의 검출에 유용한 방법으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 방사선 조사에 의한 오브알부민의 반응성 감소는 오브알부민의 부분적 분해에 의해 구조적 변화가 일어났기 때문으로 사료된다.
