Objective : An allergy to peanuts is a major cause of fatal food-induced anaphylaxis, with food allergies becoming an increasingly important health research issue. Food allergy as clinical entity has been recongnized for many years, although there is yet no general concord as to the incidence of this symptom.1) Methods : This study was undertaken to verify the effect of seeds of Canavalia gladiata (Jacq.) DC. extract (CGE) on the inhibition of allergic reactions using a cholera toxin and peanut extract-immunized food allergy mouse model. We determine whether the changes in rectal temperature were related to energy consumption owing to heat production in the body. Mast cell distribution and degranulation in the dermis and epidermis were observed with an optical microscope. Subsequently, Ara h1 levels in serum and interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, and $IFN-{\gamma}$ levels in cultured supernatants of splenocytes were measured. Results : CGE treatment significantly attenuated the secretion of the Ara h1 antibody in serum and splenocytes. Ara h 1 was undetected in the cholera toxin and peanut extract-immunized food allergy mouse model. Improvement in ear tissue inflammation symptoms was the CGE experimental group. In the control group and peanut extract control group, the expression of mast cells was higher, whereas that in the CGE experimental group was significantly lower. Conclusion : CGE causes suppression in a food allergy mouse model via the inhibition of Ara h1 secretion, and might be useful for developing functional health foods.

The expression of two major virulence factors of Vibrio cholerae, cholera toxin (CT) and toxin co-regulated pilus (TCP), is induced by environmental stimuli through a cascade of interactions among regulatory proteins known as the ToxR regulon when the bacteria reach the human small intestine. ToxT is produced via the ToxR regulon and acts as the direct transcriptional activator of CT (ctxAB), TCP (tcp gene cluster), and other virulence genes. Unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) and several small-molecule inhibitors of ToxT have been developed as antivirulence agents against V. cholerae. This study reports the inhibitory effects of fatty acids and virstatin (a small-molecule inhibitor of ToxT) on the transcriptional activation functions of ToxT in isogenic derivatives of V. cholerae strains containing various toxT alleles. The fatty acids and virstatin had discrete effects depending on the ToxT allele (different by 2 amino acids), V. cholerae strain, and culture conditions, indicating that V. cholerae strains could overcome the effects of UFAs and small-molecule inhibitors by acquiring point mutations in toxT. Our results suggest that small-molecule inhibitors should be examined thoroughly against various V. cholerae strains and toxT alleles during development.

k-Casein을 정제한 후 여기에 chymosin을 반응시켜 얻어진 k-Casein macropeptide에 대한 trichloroacetic acid 처리에 대한 영향을 조사하고자 ion exchange column으로 분별하여 chromatogram을 비교하였다. P-I의 경우 $3\%$ TCA에서는 전체 peak면적 대비 $46.64\%$이었으나, $6\%$와 $12\%$ TCA로 영향을 크게 받아 많이 침전되었으며, 상대적으로 당 함량이 높은 peak들은 TCA의 영향을 비교적 적게 받는 것으로 나타났다. Cholera 독소와 결합하는 것으로 보고된 P-III는 $3\%$ TCA에서는 $10.2\%$이었으나 $6\%$ TCA 경우에는 $26.3\%$로 상대적 면적이 증가하였으나 $12\%$ TCA로 처리한 경우에는 $13.2\%$로 감소하였다. $0.2\~0.3M$의 NaCl에서 용출되는 peak는 $12\%$ TCA에서도 상당한 안정성을 보였다. 0.18M의 NaCl gradient에서 용출되는 P-III는 $6\%$및 $12\%$ TCA처리시에도 cholera 독소와 반응하는 것으로 나타났다.

Vibrio cholerae 는 사람에게 설사를 일으키는 병원성 세규닝며 본 연구에 이용된 V.cholerae KNIH002 는 국내의 설사질환 환자로부터 분리하였다. 콜레라 독소 검출용 프라이머를 이용하여 PCR 로 증폭한 산물을 탐침자로 이용하여 Southern hybridization을 실시한 결과 PstI 및 BglII로 이중절단된 4.5-kb 절편내에서 ctx 유전자가 존재함을 확인하였다. 따라서 염색체 DNA를 PstI 및 BglII로 절단 후 V. cholerae KNIH002 의 유전자 mini-libraries를 제조하였다. 그리고 동일 탐침자를 이용하여 colony hybridization을 실시한 결과 제조된 유전자 mini-libraries 로부터 신호를 나타내는 한 개의 클론을 선발하였다. 선발된 클로닝 지니는 플라스미드를 pCTX75 라 명명하였으며, 이 클론은 CHO 세포에 대한 세포 독력이 나타남을 확인하였다. 염기서열을 결정한 결과 클로닝된 플라스미드에는 ace 와 zot 유전자들은 각각 ATG 개시코돈과 TGA 종결코돈을 포함하여 291 bp와 1,200 bp 로 구성되어져 있었다. ace 유전자의 염기서열은 V.cholerae E7946 EI Tor Ogawa strain 이 것과 100% 일치하였다. 그러나 zot 유전자의 염기서열 및 아미노산 서열은 V. cholerae 395 Classical Ogawa strain 의 것과 각각 99% 및 98.8% 의 상동성을 보였다. 특히, V.cholerae 395 Classicale Ogawa strain 의 Zot 폴리펩타이드에서 100번, 272번, 281번째 alanine 은 V.cholerae KNIH002에서 모두 valine 으로 치환되어져 있었다.

This research was practiced to comparative investigate the distribution of sensory and motor neuron linkaged with Yangji(TE4) by using neural-tracer technology. A total 16 S-D rats were used in the present research. After anesthesia, the rats received micro-injection of $6{\mu}{\ell}$ of cholera toxin B subunit(CTB) into the relation positions of the Yangji(TE4), in the human body for observing the distribution of the linkaged sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia(DRGs) and motor neurons in the spinal cord(C3~T4) and sympathetic ganglia. 3 days after the micro injection, the rats were anesthetized and transcardially perfused saline and 4% paraformaldehyde, followed by routine section of the DRGs, sympathetic chain ganglia(SCGs) and spinal cord. Marked neurons and nerve fibers were detected by immunohistochemical method and observed by light microscope. The marked neurons were recorded and counted. From this study the distribution of primary sensory and motor neurons linkaged with Yangji(TE4) were concluded as follows. Yangji(TE4) dominated by spinal segments of C5~T1, C6~T4, individually.

The FimH subunit of type 1-fimbriated Escherichia coli has been determined as a major cause for urinary tract infections. In our previous study, the Adhesin/CTXA2B was expressed as soluble recombinant chimaeric protein derived from the uropathogenic Escherichia coli adhesin genetically coupled to cholera toxin A2B (CTXA2B) subunit in Escherichia coli. Since it is very important to optimize IPTG concentration and culture temperature to maximize cell growth and productivity, These optimal culture factors were determined to increase the productivity of the expressed Adhesin/CTXA2B chimaeric protein in Escherichia coli TB1 carrying pMALfimH/ctxa2b. Our data demonstrate that optimal concentration of IPTG for increased production of chimaeric protein was 0.5 mM. Additionally, culture time was 10 hours and temperature, 37${\circ}C$.

Hatching occurred in the time dependent manners and strictly controlled. Although, the hatching processes are under the control of muti-embryotrophic factors and the expressed G proteins of cell generate integrated activation, the knowledge which GPCRs are expressed during hatching stage embryos are very limited. In the present study, which G proteins are involved was examined during blastocyst development to the hatching stage. The early-, expanded-, and lobe-stage blastocysts were treated with various $G_{\alpha}$ activators and H series inhibitors, and examined developmental patterns. Pertusis toxin (PTX) improved the hatching rate of the early-stage blastocyst and lobe-formed embryos. Cholera toxin (CTX) suppressed the hatching of the early-stage blastocyst and expanded embryos. The effects of toxins on hatching and embryo development were changed by the H7 and H8. These results mean that PTX mediated GPCRs activation is signaling generator in the nick or pore formation in the ZP. In addition, PTX mediated GPCR activation induces the locomotion of trophectoderm for the escaping. CTX mediate GPCRs activation is the cause of suppression of hatching processes. Based on these data, it is suggested that various GPCRs are expressed in the periimplantation stage embryos and the integration of the multiple signals decoding of various signals in a spatial and temporal manner regulate the hatching process.

The bovine serum factor influencing the growth of swine testicle (ST) cell and the END effect of hog cholera SN test was studied. Throughout the experimental studies. following results were obtained and summarized. 1. Bovine whole serum of 16(76.2%) and 4(19.0%) samples out of 21 have shown a positive ST cell growth and the END effect, respectively. However, all of 21(100%) and 8(38.1%) samples out of 21 serum supernatant fractions, prepared from the bovine whole serum, have shown positive ST cell growth and END effect, respectively. 2. In the SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis of the bovine whole serum and the supernatant fractions, ST cell growth inhibiting factor was proved present in globulin fraction and in whole gel plate as a diffusible component. 3. The END ineffective component present in the whole serum and its supernatant fraction was proved to be BVDV neutralizing antibody. 4. The difference of osmolarity, optical density, pH, degree of precipitant formation following heat cold treatment, A/G ratio as we11 as electrophoretic pattern and NDV SN index of the samples were not correlated to the degree of 57 cell growth and to the END effectiveness.
