가금 사육 프로그램에서 경제적으로 중요한 형질에 잠재적인 후보 유전자의 식별 및 활용은 점점 더 중요해지고 있다. Ovocalyxin-32(OCX-32) 유전자는 닭의 9번 염색체에 위치하며, 난각을 형성하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 한국 재래닭의 OCX-32 유전자 내 SNP의 유전자형 결정과 산란 형질과의 연관성을 분석하기 위해 수행하였다. PCR-RFLP 방법을 통해 한국 오골계 46수, 백색 46수, 회색 43수, 흑색 46수를 포함한 총 181수의 한국 재래닭 암컷 4종의 SNP을 분석하였다. 산란 형질은 시산일령, 시산난중, 산란율, 난중의 4가지 항목을 포함하여 측정하였다. OCX-32 유전자 내 c.494A>C SNP은 오골계의 산란율과 유의적인 차이를 나타냈으며(p<0.001), 백색 재래닭에서는 난중과 유의적인 상관관계가 있었다(p<0.05). c.267T>G SNP은 오골계의 난중과 유의적인 연관성이 나타났다(p<0.05). 하지만 회색과 흑색 재래닭에서는 유의적인 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구 결과, 한국 재래닭의 사육 프로그램에서 산란형질을 선발하는 마커로 사용되기까지 추후 더 많은 개체군을 통한 연구가 요구되나, OCX-32 유전자 내 c.494A>C와 c.267T>G의 단일염기변이가 한국 재래닭 중 오골계와 백색 재래닭에서 산란 특성에 따른 DNA 선발 마커로서 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Phenotypic characteristics and genetic markers in livestock have been utilized for improvement of the economic traits including egg productivity. Korean Native Ogol Chicken (KNOC) has low egg productivity compared to White Leghorn. Therefore, in this study, serum IGF-I concentration and number of egg production were used as selection markers to improve egg productivity. KNOCs were divided into three groups showing high IGF-I concentration (IGF-I high), high egg production (EP high), and IGF-I/EP high groups. Blood was collected every 10 weeks, and serum concentrations of IGF-I, estradiol (E2), and progesterone (P4) were measured by radioimmunoassay. In comparison of three groups in each generation, the highest increment of egg production was detected in the IGF-I/EP high group from 20 weeks till 40 weeks, and the IGF-I high group also showed the significant increment of egg production after 50 weeks. Interestingly, there were the increase of egg production and decrease of periods in sexual maturity in the second and third generation selected by serum IGF-I concentration, while egg weight and body weight decreased during experimental period. In conclusion, the present study suggest the possibility of IGF-I as a selection marker to improve the egg productivity of KNOC.

Lysozyme was trapped from $2{\times}$ diluted egg white using Amberlite FPC 3500 ion exchange resin (1 g/10mL of egg white). The lysozyme bound to the resin was recovered using 0.1 N glycine-NaOH buffers, pH 9.0, containing 0.5 M NaCl. After separating lysozyme, the pH of the egg white solution was adjusted to 4.75 and centrifuged to remove interfering proteins. The supernatant was collected, added with 2.5% citric acid and 5.0% ammonium sulfate combination to precipitate egg white proteins, except for ovalbumin. After centrifugation, both supernatant (S1) and precipitant were collected. The precipitant was dissolved with 4 volumes of distilled water, and then 2.0% ammonium sulfate and 1.5% citric acid combinations added, stirred overnight in a cold room, and centrifuged. The resulting supernatant (S2) was pooled with the first supernatant (S1), desalted using an ultrafiltration unit, heat-treated at $70^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, and then centrifuged. The supernatant was collected as an ovalbumin fraction and lyophilized. The separated proteins were confirmed using Western blotting. The yield of lysozyme and ovalbumin was > 88.9% and > 97.7%, respectively, and the purity of lysozyme and ovalbumin was > 97% and 87%, respectively. The results indicated that the protocol was simple, and separated lysozyme and ovalbumin effectively.

As a bioreactor, bird has proved to be most efficient system for producing useful therapeutic proteins. More than half of the egg white protein content derives from the ovalbumin gene with four other proteins(lysozyme, ovomucoid, ovomucin and conalbumin) present at levels of 50 milligrams or greater. And the naturally sterile egg also contains egg white protein at high concentration allowing for a long shelf life of recombinant protein without loss in activity. In spite of these advantages, transgenic procedures for the bird have lagged far behind because of its complex process of fertilized egg and developmental differences. Recently, a system to transplant mouse testis cells from a fertile donor male to the seminiferous tubules of an infertile recipient male has been developed. Spermatogenesis is generated from transplanted cells, and recipients are capable of transmitting the donor haplotype to progeny. After transplantation, primitive donor spermatogonia migrate to the basement membrane of recipient seminiferous tubules and begin proliferating. Eventually, these cells establish stable colonies with a characteristic appearance, which expands and produces differentiating germ cells, including mature spermatozoa. Thus, the transplanted cells self-renew and produce progeny that differentiate into fully functional spermatozoa. In this study, to develop an alternative system of germline chimera production that operates via the testes rather than through developing embryos, the spermatogonial stem cell techniques were applied. This system consisted of isolation and in vitro-culture of chicken testicular cells, transfer of in vitro-maintained cells into heterologous testes, production of germline chimeras and confirmation of germline transmission for evaluating production of heterologous, functional spermatozoa.

In order to understand the molecular basis of chicken heterosis in reproduction traits, mRNA differential display (DDRT-PCR) methods were used to analyze the differential gene expression of ovary tissue between hybrids and their parental lines in a 4${\times}$4 diallel cross, involving 4 chicken breeds, which were White Plymouth Rock (E), CAU Brown (D), Silkies (C) and White Leghorn (A). Total of 331 differential displayed cDNA bands from 1,161 were displayed in the 4${\times}$4 diallel cross combinations with 30 pairs of primers, which shows the differences of gene expression between hybrids and their parental lines were very obvious in quantity and quality. Seven types of differential expression patterns were found: Co-dominance expressed pattern (T1), under-expression of parental fragments in hybrids (T2), over-expression of parental fragments in hybrids (T3), hybrid-absence expressed pattern (T4), single parentspecific expressed pattern (T5), dominant expression fragments of single parent in hybrids (T6), hybrid-specific expressed pattern (T7). Correlation analysis indicated that there were significant correlations between the pattern of T3 and the heterosis percentage of egg number of 32-week and 42-week old chickens(p<0.01), while there were negative significant correlations between the pattern of T7 and the heterosis percentage of egg number of 32-week and 42 week-old birds (p<0.01).

Objective: The better understanding of laying pattern of birds is crucial for developing breed-specific proper breeding scheme and management. Methods: Daily egg production until 50 wk of age of six chicken breeds including one layer (White Leghorn, WL), three dual-purpose (Rhode Island Red, RIR; Columbian Plymouth Rock, CR; and Barred Plymouth Rock, BR), one synthetic dwarf (DY), and one indigenous (Beijing-You Chicken, BYC) were used to characterize their clutch traits and egg production. The age at first egg, egg number, average and maximum clutch length, pause length, and number of clutches and pauses were calculated accordingly. Results: The egg number and average clutch length in WL, RIR, CR, and BR were higher than those in DY and BYC (p<0.01). The numbers of clutches and pauses, and pause length in WL, RIR, CR, and BR were lower than those in DY and BYC (p<0.01). The coefficient variations of clutch length in WL, RIR, CR, and BR (57.66%, 66.49%, 64.22%, and 55.35%, respectively) were higher than DY (41.84%) and BYC (36.29%), while the coefficient variations of egg number in WL, RIR, CR, and BR (9.10%, 9.97%, 10.82%, and 9.92%) were lower than DY (15.84%) and BYC (16.85%). The clutch length was positively correlated with egg number (r = 0.51 to 0.66; p<0.01), but not correlated with age at first egg in all breeds. Conclusion: The six breeds showed significant different clutch and egg production traits. Due to the selection history, the high and median productive layer breeds had higher clutch length than those of the less productive indigenous BYC. The clutch length is a proper selection criterion for further progress in egg production. The age at first egg, which is independent of clutch traits, is especially encouraged to be improved by selection in the BYC breed.

여러 가지 처리가 난백의 항원성을 감소시키는데 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 토끼 항난백항체로 난백 처리물들의 간접 경합 ELISA(ciELISA)를 실시하였다. 식물성, 동물성, 미생물성의 9가지 효소를 이용한 가수분해처리는 난백의 항원성에 영향을 주지 못했다. 보다 효율적인 효소 가수분해를 위해 방사선 조사 후, 효소처리를 실시했는데, 이것 역시 항원성을 감소시키지 못했다. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid 처리는 난백의 항원성을 거의 제거시키는 것으로 나타났다. 열처리는 $121^{\circ}C$ 고온처리의 경우에서만 반응성이 1/10,000이하로 감소하여 항원성이 거의 사라졌다. NaOH 단독 처리는 0.3%(w/v) 이상의 농도에서 반응성이 감소되기 시작하여, 1%(w/v) 이상에서는 반응성이 1/10,000이하로 감소하였다. NaOH 처리에 $70^{\circ}C$, 15분간의 열처리를 더해 주면, NaOH 단독 처리시보다 효과적으로 항원성이 감소되는 것으로 나타났다.
