In this study, we determined the content of chitooligosaccharides (COS) in Korean commercial salt-fermented shrimps by competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (cdELISAs), using anti-COS mixture (COSM) antibody and COSM horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugate. When COS6 was spiked into salt-fermented shrimps at the level of $10-300\mu{g/g,}$ the average recovery was $120\pm19%$ ($mean\pmS.D.$). The COS contents of the 92 samples of Korean commercial salt-fermented shrimps collected during February 2000 and August 2002 were $36.3\pm20.7\mug$ COS6 equivalent/g (expressed as "$\mug/g$" hereafter). Among the samples, the COS contents of yuk-jeot ( $40.3 \pm 22.5 \mug/g, n=27$) and buksaewoojeot ($40.2 \pm 21.6 \mug/g, n=5$) were higher than the others. The COS contents of salt-fermented shrimps produced at Gwangcheon ($47.1 \pm 20.7 \mug/g, n=18$) and Gomso ($44.1 \pm 21.8 \mug/g, n=6$) areas were higher than those produced at the other areas. This is the first report to determine COS of salt-fermented shrimps by cdELISA.

The study was performed to investigate the distributions of swine pleuropneumonia in Kyongbuk western area by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Sera collected from 400 slaughtered pigs in 3 slaughter houses during the period from May 1999 to october 1999 were tested to detect antibodies against A pleuropneumonie serotype 2 and 5. The optimal dilution of CBE antigen, conjugate and serum for this ELISA were determined 1 : 400, 1 : 20,000, 1 100, respectively. The optimal dilution of OW antigen, conjugate and serum for this ELISA were determined 1 : In, 1 : 20,000, 1 : 200, respectively. Cut-off value in this ELISA was determined by mean absorbance (at 492 nm) of negative control sera added with the triple value of the standard deviation. Cut-off value in ELISA by CBE and OMP antigen were 1.134 and 1.217, respectively. By the ELISA, positive reaction rates to A pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 and 5 for CBE antigen were 38.8% and 18.8%, and for OMP antigen were 42.8% and 23.5% of the 400 samples, respectively.

This study was carried out to detect cymbidium mosaic potexvirus (CymMV) and odontoglossum ringspot tobamovirus (ORSV) in cultivated orchid plants in Korea. The standard double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were carried out for detection of the viruses in the collected orchid samples. ELISA was suitable for massive-scale diagnostic method for virus detection in orchids. RT-PCR was rapid, time-saving and reliable detective method, and detection limit data showed that RT-PCR was 103 times more sensitive than ELISA. Of the 321 individual orchids representing 5 orchids genera tested by the ELISA, CymMV and ORSV were detected in 15.6% and 22.4%, and mixed infection of the both viruses with 4.9%, respectively. Of the Cymbidium plants tested, cultivated plants showed 52.5% virus infection rate with either CymMV or ORSV and both viruses.

For a biosensor development, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of the fungicide iprovalicarb was developed by minimizing the processing time. The time for whole incubation process was reduced from 135 minutes to 15 minutes. The concentration of antibody was varied to improve sensitivity. The total processing time was reduced from 2.5 hours to 20 minutes, the final sensitivity ($IC_{50}$ value) of 7.93 ng/mL and the lowest detection limit of 0.045 ng/mL were obtained. This ELISA was applied to potatoes and onions, and the recoveries were in the range of 98.85 $\sim$ 101.20% and 87.97 $\sim$ 102.70%, respectively. Accordingly, this method can be used as basis for a biosensor for rapid monitoring of iprovalicarb residues in crops.

In Korea, due to its broad efficacy as a systemic insecticide, imidacloprid has been widely used in rice paddies to control sucking insects, soil insects, and some chewing insects and in apple orchards to control various insects pests. To quantify the imidacloprid residue concentrations, samples are assayed in vitro using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays(ELISA). These assays generally require several hours to perform. As a biosensor, a competitive imidacloprid ELISA was modified to measure insecticide concentrations. It was found that a total assay time of 15 min(10-min antibody-antigen binding, and 5-min substrate development) is sufficient for monitoring imidacloprid concentrations. Further work is needed to improve the sensitivity of the measurement protocol.

Satsuma dwarf virus (SDV) seriously damages citrus production by reducing the quality and yield of fruit. To avoid contamination with SDV, mother trees are checked to be SDV-free in advance of nursery tree distribution. In this study, we compared an immunochromatographic assay (ICA) kit with double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) for large-scale diagnosis of SDV in orchardgrown trees in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The two methods gave conflicting results for 11 of 1,705 samples, all of which were negative by DAS-ELISA but positive by ICA. The samples scored as positive by either DAS-ELISA or ICA were analyzed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and all were confirmed to be positive. These results validate the use of ICA as a screening method for large-scale diagnosis. Strain discrimination revealed that 16 of 22 isolates belonged to SDV, while citrus mosaic virus (CiMV) infection only and co-infection (SDV and CiMV) were in a minority.

3,3',4,4'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl (IUPAC PCB77) is one of seven indicative polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the surface sediments. The current study presents a novel polyclonal antibody for the determination of the PCB77 using indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Under optimum conditions, PCB77 was determined within the concentration range of 0.01-100 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, with a detection limit of 0.057 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$. The assays were tested for their cross-reactivity profiles using 3 selected congeners and 4 Aroclor products. The assays were highly specific for coplanar PCB congeners, but less specific for Aroclor1248. The spiked recoveries from five sediment samples were 86%-114% for PCB77 from ELISA, which were satisfactory. The current study demonstrated that the developed antiserum and immunoassay procedure can be used to detect PCB77 in environmental samples. The results of the sediment analysis were confirmed by conventional GC/ECD.

This study assessed the seroprevalence of Babesia gibsoni in companion dogs in Korea by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay using recombinant BgTRAP antigen. Dogs were randomly selected from those admitted for various reasons to local private veterinary hospitals and the Animal Medical Center of Chonbuk National University. With the owners' permission, extra blood was drawn from each dog for serological assays. Of the 188 selected dogs, seven (3.72%) were positive for B. gibsoni, including six of 167 (3.59%) indoor and one of 12 (8.33%) outdoor dogs. Of the seven dogs positive for B. gibsoni, four were aged > 10 years, two were < 1 year, and one was between 1 and 10 years; and two were Yorkshires and one each was Shih-tzu, Maltese, Pekinese, beagle and mixed. Concurrent diseases or chief complaints were anemia in two dogs, both of which had a history of confirmed babesiosis by polymerase chain reaction, and non-anemic diseases in five. Geographically, four dogs were from Jeonbuk/Jeonju, and one each from Seoul, Gyounggi-do, and Jeonnam/Gwangju. To our knowledge, this is the first report of companion dogs in Korea being seropositive for B. gibsoni. Serologic screening of subclinical or carrier dogs can detect this potentially dangerous disease and assess its epidemiology.
