A total of 170 litters (575 samples) of aborted and stillbirth fetuses submitted to the Gyeongsangbuk-Do Veterinary Service Laboratory (GVSL) between January 2006 and December 2010 from pig farms in Gyeongbuk province were studied to identify porcine abortion- and stillbirth-associated viruses such as Porcine parvovirus (PPV), Encephalomyocarditis Virus (EMCV), Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV), Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV), and Aujeszky's Disease Virus (ADV). Virus was not detected by PCR in 36 litters, but viral antibody was detected by HI and ELISA in 93 litters. The majority of etiological viruses were PPV (67 litters, 39.4%), EMCV (50 litters, 29.4%), PRRSV (15 litters, 8.8%), and JEV (11 litters, 6.5%); ADV was not detected by either PCR or ELISA. Single infection occurred in 52 litters (30.6%), co-infection occurred in 41 litters (24.1%), and unknown cases with no detection of any of the five viruses occurred in 77 litters (45.3%).

장티푸스 협막 다당체와 일본 뇌염 바이러스로 구성되어있는 혼합백신을 제조하여 마우스에서 면역성을 측정하였다. 혼합 항원 백신은 단일 항원을 투여한 경우보다 장티푸스와 일본 뇌염에 대해서 더 높은 IgG 항체 형성을 나타내었다. Aluminium hydroxide를 adjuvant로 첨가한 경우에도 첨가하지 않은 대조군에 비하며 모두 IgG 항체 형성이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 일본뇌염의 경우 중화항체 값 측정 시험에서도 혼합 항원백신은 일본뇌염 단독 항원 시에 비교해서 더 많은 중화항체 값을 형성하는 결과를 나타내었다. 본 실험에서 장티푸스 협막 다당체와 일본뇌염 바이러스의 혼합백신은 서로 다른 성분의 항원간에 나타날 수 있는 항체 형성에 대한 masking effect가 발생하지 않으며 오히려 synergic effect를 나타낸다는 사실을 보여주었다. 본 연구에서는 접종시기가 유사한 두 항원의 혼합 백신으로의 사용가능성을 높여주고 최근에 백신 산업에서 종류가 다른 여러 백신들을 혼합하여 다가백신을 제조 생산하는 추세의 산업화에 큰 기대효과를 제공할 수 있으리라 사려된다.

Influenza is a common disease that causes epidemics yearly due to the influenza virus. If patients with influenza present with rare symptoms, the diagnosis may be delayed and the condition is difficult to treat. A 5-year-old boy presented to the emergency room with fever and cramps. Brain computed tomography showed low attenuation in the thalamus and brain stem, which was suggestive of encephalopathy caused by influenza virus. Another 5-year-old girl visited the emergency room with mild fever and painful calf edema. She was diagnosed with myositis caused by influenza and treated accordingly.

Rabies virus which belongs to the genus Lyssavirus of the family Rhabdoviridae is known as a highly neurotropic virus and causes fatal encephalitis accompanied by severe neurological symptoms in almost all mammals, including humans. In this study, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against rabies virus were produced, characterized and applications of MAbs as diagnostic reagents were assessed Spleen and inguinal lymph node cells from Balb/c mouse immunized with purified rabies virus were fused with SP2/O myeloma cells using polyethylene glycol (PEG) and hybridoma cells producing rabies virus-specific MAbs were screened by an indirect fluorescent antibody test. A total of ten MAbs were produced against rabies virus. The protein specificity and neutralizing activity of MAbs were determined by Western blot analysis and fluorescent antibody virus neutralization test, respectively. As a result, two MAbs, 5G3 and 6H4 had specificity for nucleoprotein (N protein) and two other MAbs, 5B1 and 5C1 had neutralizing activity for rabies virus. Some MAbs recognized the rabies virus-infected bovine brain stem cells by immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay. In conclusion, it was confirmed that MAbs produced in this study were rabies virusspecific and could be used as reliable diagnostic reagents for the detection of rabies virus.

This survey is performed for the vector mosquitoes including of Japanese encephalitis, Malaria and West niles virus. Black light traps were installed in 5 sites (Sejong lake, Janggun-myeon, Jeonui-myeon, Yeongi-myeon, Bukang-myeon). Mosquitoes were collected twice every week from five collection sites using a black light trap from May to September. A total of 10 species belonging to 4 genera, 14,234 female mosquitoes were collected and identified as vector mosquitoes. Among ten mosquito species, Culex pipiens complex was the most commonly mosquitoes (6,163 individuals, 43.3%). The greatest number of Culex pipiens pallens was trapped in the first week of July. A total of 115 pools from 14,234 mosquitoes were prepared according to their species, collection date and site. We have screened infection of virus in mosquitoes. All of virus were not detected in mosquitoes. Our findings confirm that population and first appearance time of vectors mosquitoes and virus infection in Sejong city.

플라비바이러스(Flavivirus)는 모기와 같은 곤충을 매개로 하여 인체에 감염된다고 잘 알려져 있다. 그 대표적인 예로 지카 바이러스(Zika virus), 뎅기 바이러스(Dengue virus), 황열 바이러스(Yellow fever virus), 일본 뇌염 바이러스(Japanese encephalitis virus) 등을 들 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 생물정보학을 기반으로 인체 감염 주요 플라비바이러스인 지카 바이러스, 뎅기 바이러스. 황열 바이러스, 일본 뇌염 바이러스의 총 4종류 플라비바이러스에 공통적으로 적용 가능한 펩타이드 백신 후보를 제시하고자 한다. 먼저 UniProt (The Universal Protein Resource)의 유전자 서열정보를 이용하여 4종류의 바이러스가 가진 단백질 중 백신으로써 적합한 단백질을 선정하였다. 선정된 단백질의 아미노산 서열정보를 바탕으로 IEDB (Immune Epitope Database And Analysis Resource)를 활용한 에피토프(epitope) 분석을 통해 에피토프로 작용하는 4 종류 바이러스의 공통적인 서열을 도출하였다.

인간을 비롯하여 여러 동물의 생식기와 구강. 안구 점막에 수포성, 괴양성 병변을 일으키는 Herpes simplex 2형 바이러스(HSV-2)에 대한 단클론항체를 하이브리도마 기술을 이용해 생사하였다. 생산된 단클론항체 C-2는 western blotting에서 134, 86 그리고 43 kDa의 분자량을 갖는 항원을 인식하였다. C-2의 isotype은 IgM이었다. SDS-PAGE를 이용하여 HSV-2에 감염되어 원형의 다핵 거세포를 형성한 vero 세포주를 인식하였으며, 이는 HSV-2 항원이 숙주세포에서 발현되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이 결과는 HSV-2 백신개발의 목표항원이 되는 항원검출과 HSV-2 감염 진단법 개발에 기초가 될 수 있을 것이다.

Background: The genus Flavivirus consists of many emerging arboviruses, including Dengue virus (DV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and West Nile virus (WNV). Effective preventive vaccines remain elusive for these diseases. Mice are being increasingly used as the animal model for vaccine studies. However, the pathogenic mechanisms of these viruses are not clearly understood. Here, we investigated the interaction of DV and JEV with murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (bmDC). Methods: ELISA and FACS analysis were employed to investigate cytokine production and phenotypic changes of DCs obtained from bone marrow following flavivirus infection. Results: We observed that these viruses altered the cytokine profile and phenotypic markers. Although both viruses belong to the same family, JEV-infected bmDC produced anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) along with pro-inflammatory cytokines, whereas DV infection induced production of large amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$) and no IL-10 from murine bmDCs. Both flaviviruses also up-regulated the expression of co-stimulatory molecules such as CD40, CD80 and CD86. JEV infection led to down-regulation of MHC II expression on infected bmDCs. We also found that cytokine production induced by JEV and DV is MyD88-dependent. This dependence was complete for DV, as cytokine production was completely abolished in the absence of MyD88. With regard to JEV, the absence of MyD88 led to a partial reduction in cytokine levels. Conclusion: Here, we demonstrate that MyD88 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of flaviviruses. Our study provides insight into the pathogenesis of JEV and DV in the murine model.

Herpes simplex virus [HSV] esophagitis is a rare disease and most of cases are reported in the immunocompromised patients. We report a case of fatal HSV infection started from herpes labialis and esophagitis. She had initially suffered from perioral ulcer, esophagitis, and interstitial pneumonitis later and eventually died of respiratory insufficiency one month later after the aneurysmal surgery. She did not have any immunocompromised medical history and also had no evidence of herpes encephalitis in laboratory study and magnetic resonance image [MRI]. With the availability of effective agents for the treatment of HSV infection, early recognition of HSV esophagitis is important because it may be clinically confused with Cushing ulcer and may be complicated with a fatal pneumonitis.
