Bovine milk provides essential nutrients, including immunologically important molecules, as the primary source of nutrition to newborns. Recent studies showed that RNAs from bovine milk contain immune-related microRNAs (miRNA) that regulate various immune systems. To evaluate the biological and immunological activity of miRNAs from milk products, isolation methods need to be established. Six methods for extracting total RNAs from bovine colostrums were adopted to evaluate the isolating efficiency and expression of miRNAs. Total RNA from milk was presented in formulation of small RNAs, rather than ribosomal RNAs. Column-combined phenol isolating methods showed high recovery of total RNAs, especially the commercial columns for biofluid samples, which demonstrated outstanding efficiency for recovering miRNAs. We also evaluated the quantity of five immune-related miRNAs (miR-93, miR-106a, miR-155, miR-181a, miR-451) in milk processed by temperature treatments including low temperature for long time (LTLT, 63℃ for 30 min)-, high temperature for short time (HTST, 75℃ for 15 s)-, and ultra heat treatment (UHT, 120-130℃ for 0.5-4 s). All targeted miRNAs had significantly reduced levels in processed milks compared to colostrum and raw mature milk. Interestingly, the amount of immune-related miRNAs from HTST milk was more resistant than those of LTLT and UHT milks. Our present study examined defined methods of RNA isolation and quantification of immune-specific miRNAs from small volumes of milk for use in further analysis.

급성 기 반응중인 육계에서 사료 중 크릴 밀의 생산성과 SOD 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 크릴 밀 A와 B를 이용한 실험 1과 크릴 밀 A를 이용한 확인 실험 2가 실시 되었다. 실험사료는 옥수수 대두박 위주의 기초 사료 와 기초 사료 중 대두박과 2.0%의 크릴 밀 A(수입) 또는 크릴 밀 B(수입)를 대치한 사료이다. 실험 사료를 1 일령 육계 병아리에 급여하여 Salmonella typhymurium lipopolysaccharide (LPS)를 복강 내 주입하여 급성 기 반응을 발생시킨 2 주령 육계의 생산성과 Superoxide dismu- tase(SOD) 활성에 미치는 영향을 Saline을 주입한 대조와 비교하였다. 증체량, 사료 섭취량 및 사료효율은 크릴 밀 A와 크릴 밀 B 사료를 급여한 육계사이에 차이가 있었다. 크릴 밀 사료를 급여한 육계에서 급성기 반응은 간장과 비장 무계를 높였다. 그리고 급성기 반응은 크릴 밀 사료를 급여한 육계 병아리의 간장과 적혈구 세포액의 MnSOD와 Cu/ZnSOD 활성을 높였다. PHA-p 반응에 미치는 크릴 밀 사료의 영향은 없었다. 크릴 밀 B는 면역반응 후 회복중인 육계의 생산성을 향상시켰으나 크릴 밀 A에서는 이러한 영향이 없었다. 이상과 같이 크릴 밀의 종류에 따라 급성기반응시 와 회복시의 생산성은 SOD 활성의 변화로부터 산화 스트레스의 영향을 받고 있다는 것을 시사하고 있다.

Exposure to cold may affect growth performance in accordance with the metabolic and immunological activities of animals. We evaluated whether ambient temperature affects growth performance, blood metabolites, and immune cell populations in Korean cattle. Eighteen Korean cattle steers with a mean age of 10 months and a mean weight of 277 kg were used. All steers were fed a growing stage-concentrate diet at a rate of 1.5% of body weight and Timothy hay ad libitum for 8 weeks. Experimental period 1 (P1) was for four weeks from March 7 to April 3 and period 2 (P2) was four weeks from April 4 to May 1. Mean ($8.7^{\circ}C$) and minimum ($1.0^{\circ}C$) indoor ambient temperatures during P1 were lower (p<0.001) than those ($13.0^{\circ}C$ and $6.2^{\circ}C$, respectively) during P2. Daily dry matter feed intake in both the concentrate diet and forage groups was higher (p<0.001) during P2 than P1. Average daily weight gain was higher (p<0.001) during P2 (1.38 kg/d) than P1 (1.13 kg/d). Feed efficiency during P2 was higher (p = 0.015) than P1. Blood was collected three times; on March 7, April 4, and May 2. Nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) were higher on March 7 than April 4 and May 2. Blood cortisol, glucose, and triglyceride concentrations did not differ among months. Blood CD4+, CD8+, and CD4+CD25+ T cell percentages were higher, while CD8+CD25+ T cell percentage was lower, during the colder month of March than during May, suggesting that ambient temperature affects blood T cell populations. In conclusion, colder ambient temperature decreased growth and feed efficiency in Korean cattle steers. The higher circulating NEFA concentrations observed in March compared to April suggest that lipolysis may occur at colder ambient temperatures to generate heat and maintain body temperature, resulting in lower feed efficiency in March.

Through the previous studies(I,II), it was observed that human follicular fluid(HFF) was more effective than human fetal cord serum(HFCS) on promoting meiotic resumption of oocytes and improving embryonic development of mouse in vitro. On the basis of these results, we have gradually exchanged HFCS with HFF as protein supplement in human ART. This study was performed to investigate the efficiency of HFF on improving the pregnancy rate in ART. Oocytes were retrieved transvaginally from patients treated with pituitary suppression with GnRH-agonist and ovarian stimulation with human menopausal gonadotro-pin(HMG) and pure follicle stimulating hormone(FSH). Aspirated oocytes were rinsed and cultured in TCM-199 containing HFF, and the concentrations of HFF were adjusted to 10, 20, and 30% according to the use for insemination, embryo growth and embryo transfer, respectively. As possible as, we tried to do embryo transfer into fallopian tube to mimic the coincidence of the cell stage with the place of sojourn in vivo, so we performed various ART programs(IVF & ET; in vitro fertilization, ZIFT; zygote intra fallopian-tube transfer, ZIFT & ET) according to the tubal conditions of patients. On the while, intra cytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI) was used to assist IVF of the patients who had shown poor standard IVF results by immunological or severe male factor. Of the 255 cycles of ART programs using HFF as protein supplement, 118 cycles were turn out to be succeeded in pregnancy(46.2%, per cycle, p<0.05), while 21 pregnancies were achieved in the 69 cycles using HFCS(30.4%). The 255 cycles using HFF were subdivided into cycles with the type of ART programs, and each pregnancy rate of the ART programs were 44.7% (IVF & ET, 76/170 cycles), 53.4%(ZIFT, 31/58 cycles) and 40.7% (ZIFT & ET, 11/27 cycles), respectively. In the 61 ICSI cycles using HFF, 28 cycles succeed in pregnancy(45.9%), while 7 pregnancies were obtained in the 17 ICSI cycles using HFCS. Also the ongoing pregnancy rate in the group using HFF(78.8%, 93/118 cycles) was higher than that in the group using HFCS(61.9%). Therefore, we found that the use of HFF as protein supplement was more suitable and effective than the use of HFCS to improve the pregnancy rate in ART.

This study was designed to evaluate a direct method of $^{99m}Tc$ labeling using $\beta-mercaptoethanol$ as a reducing agent, and to investigate whether $^{99m}Tc$ labeled specific monoclonal antibody against carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA-92) can be used for the scintigraphic localization of human colon cancer xenograft. Purified CEA-92 IgG was fragmented into F $(ab')_2$ and then labeled with $^{99m}Tc$ by transchelation method using glucarate as a chelator. Labeling efficiency, immunological reactivity and in vitro stability of $^{99m}Tc$ CEA-92 F $(ab')_2$ were measured and then injected intravenously into nude mice bearing human colon cancer (SNU-C4). Scintigrams were obtained at 24 hour after injection. Then nude mice were sacrificed and the radioactivity was measured Labeling efficiency of injected $^{99m}Tc$ CEA-92 F $(ab')_2$, immunoreative fraction and in vitro stability at 24 hour of injected $^{99m}Tc$ CEA-92 F $(ab')_2$ was 45.2%, 32.8% and 57.4%, respectively. At 24 hour after injection, % ID/g in kidney (46.77) showed high uptake, but %ID/g in tumor (1.65) was significantly higher than spleen (0.69), muscle (0.16), intestine (0.45), stomach (0.75), heart (0.48) and blood (0.45). There was no significant difference between tumor and liver (1.81). Tumor contrast as quantitated by tumor to blood ratio of $^{99m}Tc$ CEA-92 F $(ab')_2$ was increased significantly (p<0.005) until 24 hours (3.70), and there was no statistical differece from tumor to blood ratio of I-131 CEA-92 F $(ab')_2$. The scintigram demonstrated localization of radioactivity over transplanted tumor, but significant background radioactivity was also noted over kidney and abdomen. It is concluded that CEA-92 F $(ab')_2$ can be labeled with $^{99m}Tc$ by a direct transchelation method using $\beta-mercaptoethanol$ as a reducing agent and $^{99m}Tc$ labeled CEA-92 F $(ab')_2$ can be used for the scintigraphic localization of human colon cancer xenograft in nude mice model.

필자는 서울대학교 의과대학 병리학 교실에서 만든 항 백혈병 항체(항 CALLA 항체, 항 JL-1 항체)에 대해 $^{99m}Tc$과 $^{125}I$의 표지 방법 및 면역학적 성상을 연구하여 임상 응용의 토대를 만들고자 하였다. $^{99m}Tc$은 pretargeting transchelation법으로 $^{125}I$는 lodogen법으로 표지하였다. 각 항체에 대해 결합 반응검사, Scatchard 분석, 변조 현상 검사를 시행하였다. $^{125}I$는 두 항체 모두에서 90%전후의 높은 표지율을 보인 반면, $^{99m}Tc$ 경우 70%이하의 표지율을 보여 개선점이 요구되었다. 결합반응검사에서도 $^{99m}Tc$을 표지한 항체는 30%정도의 낮은 면역 반응성을 보였다. Scatchard 분석 결과 결합상수 모두가 $10^9$으로 좋은 친화력을 보였고, 세포당 항체 결합 수는 $10^4$으로 비교적 높은 농도로 나타났다. 변조 현상은 모든 경우에서 나타나지 않았다. 항 CALLA 항체, 항 JL-1 항체는 향후 림프종과 백혈병의 진단 및 치료에 도움이 될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

A 8-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of Kugija (Lycium chinense) on the growth and immunological response in juvenile Korean rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli). Six experimental diets were supplemented with Kugija at 0, 0.1, 0.5 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0% ($K_0,\;K_{0.1},\;Ko_{0.5},\;K_{1.0},\;K_{3.0},\;K_{5.0}$) on a dry-matter basis. After 2 weeks, triplicate groups of 30 fish initially averaging 3.36$\pm$0.2 g (mean$\pm$SD) were randomly distributed into the aquarium and were fed one of the experimental diets for 8 weeks. By the end of the 8-week feeding trial, fish fed the $K_{0.5}$ and $K_{1.0}$ diets exhibited a higher weight gain and specific growth rate than fish fed $K_0$ and $K_{0.1}$ diets (P<0.05). Feed efficiency of fish fed the $K_{0.5}$ diet showed significant higher value than that of fish fed the $K_0$, $K_{3.0}$ and $K_{5.0}$ diets (P<0.05). Hepatosomatic index of fish fed the $K_{0.5}$ diet was significantly higher than that of fish fed the $K_{0.1}$ and $K_{5.0}$ diets (P<0.05). Hematocrit of fish fed the $K_{0.5},\;K_{1.0}$ and $K_{5.0}$ diets was significantly higher than that of fish fed the $K_0$ diet (P<0.05). Glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase of fish fed the $K_{0.5},\;K_{1.0},\;K_{3.0}$ and $K_{5.0}$ diets was significantly lower than in fish fed the other diets (P<0.05). Glutamic pyruvic transaminase activity of fish fed the $K_{3.0}$ diet was significantly lower than those of fish fed the $K_0$ and $K_{0.1}$ diets (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the activity of the transaminase in fish fed the $K_{0.5}\;K_{1.0},\;K_{3.0}$ and $K_{5.0}$ diets. Lysozyme activity of fish fed the $K_{0.5}$ and $K_{1.0}$ diets was significantly higher than that in fish fed the $K_0$ and $K_{0.1}$ diets (P<0.05). Respiratory burst activity of fish fed the $K_{3.0}$ diet was significantly higher than those of fish fed the $K_0$ and $K_{0.1}$ diets (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in respiratory burst activity of fish fed the $K_{0.5}\;K_{1.0},\;K_{3.0}$ and $K_{5.0}$ diets. Fish fed Kugija showed lower early mortality than fish fed a Kugija-free diet upon challenge with Vibrio ordalii. The results suggest that feeding of Kugija (Lycium chinense) enhances growth, non-specific immunity and disease resistance in juvenile Korean rockfish.
