자동흐름분석법으로 lucigenin을 발광시약으로 이용하여 화학발광의 세기를 측정함으로써 수용액 중의 Cr(III)을 정량하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. pH, 시료의 주입 양과 속도, lucigenin의 농도 및 방출파장이 방출세기에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Lucigenin과 과산화수소의 화학발광 반응에서 Cr(III)를 첨가하였을 때 방출세기가 현저히 증가함을 관찰하였다. Cr(III) 이온 검정곡선의 직선감응범위와 검출한계는 들뜸 파장, pH 및 lucigenin과 과산화수소의 농도가 각각 473 nm, 12.8 및 1.0${\times}10^{-6}$M과 2.0M였을 때, 1.0${\times}10^{-6}$M∼1.0${\times}10^{-3}$M 및 5.2${\times}10^{-8}$M이었다.

A method to determine chromium(III) ion in aqueous solution by chemiluminescence method using a lucigenin entrapped silica sol-gel film has been studied. An optical probe for chromium(III) ion has been prepared by entrapping lucigenin into silica sol-gel film coated on a glass support by dip coating. The chromium(III) optical sensor is based on the catalytic effect of chromium(IIII) ion on the reaction between lucigenin and hydrogen peroxide in basic solutions. The effects of Nafion, DMF and Triton X-100 were investigated to find the optimum condition to minimize cracking and leaching from the probe. The effects of pH and concentrations of lucigenin and hydrogen peroxide on the chemiluminescence intensity were investigated. The chemiluminescence intensity was increased linearly with increasing chromium(III) concentration from $2.5{\times}10^{-4}$M to $8.0{\times}10^{-7}$M and the detection limit was $4.0{\times}10^{-7}$M.

The phagocytic activity of murine peritoneal macrophages was determined by lucigenin chemiluminescence with luminometer and engulfment of fluorescein-conjugated E. coli particles. 70% MeOH extract of Lithospermi Radix was fractionated successively with hexane, methylene chloride, n-BuOH and water. The water fraction (m.w. 500 to 1,000) enhanced the lucigenin chemiluminescence and the engulfment of fluorescein-conjugated E. coli particles in murine peritoneal macrophages. The water fraction suppressed the production of nitric oxide in the macrophages. These results suggest that an active fraction of phagocytosis in Lithos-permi Radix is the water fraction and the molecular weight is 500 to 1,000.

The detection with lucigenin under physiological conditions is selective for ${\cdot} O_{2}^{-}$, for it can be accepted that lucigenin indicates actual intramembranal $\cdot O_{2}^{-}- formation$. Lucigenin chemiluminescence (CL) was elicited from the plasma membrane (PM) only by addition of reduced pyridine nucleotide. NADPH was preferred to NADH in PM and hepatocytes. This specificity was masked by $NAD(P)^+$ inhibition. The half maximum rate of CL increase was obtained with 1.5 ${\mu}m$ NADH or 55 ${\mu}m$ NADPH in hepatocytes and 6 ${\mu}m$ NADH or 30 ${\mu}m$ NADPH in plasma membranes. Measurement of these NADPH values required the presence of a NADPH-regenerating system. With NADPH the maximal rate obtained was 10 fold higher than with NADH. NADPH and NADH could produce CL when having access from either side of the membrane. They seemed to react with the identical acceptor because NADH-induced CL was also inhibited by $NADP^+$. The characteristics of ${\cdot}O_{2}^{-}-formation$ produced by pyridine nucleotide will be discussed.

A method to determine As(V) ions in aqueous solution by chemiluminescence method has been studied using a stopped flow system. The method is based on the increased chemiluminescence intensity with the addition of As(V) ion to a solution of lucigenin and hydrogen peroxide. The effects of KOH concentration, $H_2O_2$ concentration and flow rate of reagents on the chemiluminescence intensity have been investigated. The calibration curve for As(V) was linear over the range from $1.0{\times}l0^{-6}$M to $1.0{\times}l0^{-4}$M, the coefficient of correlation was 0.997 and the detection limit was $3.3{\times}l0^{-7}$M under the optimal experimental conditions.

The phagocytic activity of murine peritoneal macrophage, was determined by lucigenin chemiluminescence and engulfment of fluorescein-conjugated E. coli particle. The acti vity-guided fractionation upon the methylenechloride fraction of Aurantii immaturi pericarpium led to the isolation of a flavonoid, isosinensetin, as a suppressive component of phagocytosis. Isosinensetin suppressed the lucigenin chemiluminescence and the engulfment of fluorescein-conjugated E. coli particles and enhanced the production of nitric oxide in murine peritoneal macrophage.

본 연구는 종모우의 정자수정능력 평가방법의 개발과 정자 기능 및 성상 변화에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보기 위하여 시행하였다. 동결-융해된 종모우 정액을 대상으로 정자의 운동성과 정자의 형태를 분석하였고, 정자의 기능 검 사 항목으로서 체외수정(IVF), HOST, Ca-ionophore에 의한 첨체반응율, 정자의 ROS 측정을 위한 luminol, lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence, LPO 분석을 위한 malondialdehyde의 측정 및 TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase(TdT) dUTP nick end labelling) 기법을 이용한 정자의 DNA fragmentation를 측정하였으며 이들 각각의 조사 항목들의 분석치들과 체외수정율 및 배발생율과의 상관관계를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 고수정군과 저수정군의 체외수정율과 배반포 발생율의 평균은 각각 64.4%와 34.3%, 18.50%와 6.2%였으며 두 군간에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 고수정군과 저수정군의 정자운동성과 첨체반응률은 각각 평균79.0 %와 66.2%, 40.7%와 22.9%로 두 군간에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으나(P<0.05), 정상형태 정자의 비율과 HOST는 각각 평균 94.6%와 92.7%, 69.4%와 59.8%로 두 군간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 2. Luminol dependent chemiluminescence, LPO 및 DNA fragmentation의 평균은 고수정군과 저수정군에 있어서 각각 6.4와 6.5, 2.Onmol와 3.Inmol 및 2.6%와 7.4%로 두 군간 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으나(P<0.05), lucigenin dependent chemiluminescence는 4.7와 4.6로 두 군간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 3. 체외 수정율은 정자의 운동성 및 첨체반응율과 통계학적으로 유의한 정(positive)의 상관관계(r=0.87, p<0.01; r=0.81, p<0.05)를 나타내었으며, luminol dependent chemiluminescence, lipid peroxldation 및 DNA fragmentation과는 통계학적으로 유의한 부(negative)의 상관관계 (r= -0.81, p<0.05; r: -0.74, p<0.05; r : 0.81, p<0.05)를 나타내었다. 그러나 체외수정율은 정상형태 정자의 비율, HOST 및 lucigenin dependent chemiluminescence와는 유의한 상관 관계를 나타내지 않았다. 4. 배반포 발생율은 첨체반응율과 통계학적으로 유의한 정의 상관관계(r=0.71, p<0.05)를 나타내었으며, luminol dependent chemiluminescence, lipid peroxidation 및 DNA fragmentation과는 통계학적으로 유의한 부의 상관관계(r= -0.71, p<0.05; r= -0.89, p<0.01; r= -0.71, P<0.05)를 나타내었다. 배반포 발생율은 정자의 운동성, 정상형태 정자의 비율 및 HOST, lucigenin dependent chemilumihescence와는 유의한 상관관계를 나타내지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 정액질의 저하에 ROS의 영향이 밀접히 연관되어 있음을 알 수 있으며, 또한 본 연구에서 적용된 기법들은 정액질의 평가 및 정자 수정능력 향상을 위한 기술개발에 있어서 유용한 평가 방법으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Lucigenin (Lg)- and luminol (Lm)-dependent chemiluminescence (CL) was used to compare the respiratory burst of rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) phagocytes after stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). To establish which reactive oxygen species (ROS) contributes to the observed CL, the modulators of ROS metabolism, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and sodium azide $(NaN_3)$ were used. Although LgCL responses were inhibited significantly by the addition of either SOD or catalase, in comparison to the control, significantly lower LgCL responses were recorded by SOD than catalase. LmCL also showed significantly decreased responses by the addition of SOD and catalase. However, there were no statistical differences in CL responses between SOD and catalase additions. More profound and significant decrease of LmCL responses were recorded by simultaneous addition of SOD and catalase. Sodium azide markedly enhanced LgCL responses, while it significantly inhibited LmCL responses. These results indicate that LgCL and LmCL can be used to measure extracellular $O_2$ production and myeloperoxidase (MPO)-mediated ROS production in fish phagocytes, respectively. Furthermore, LmCL can be used for analyzing intracellular ROS production by simultaneous addition of both SOD and catalase.

Herba Xanthii(HX), Radix Xantluii(RX) and Fructus Xanthii(FX) is one of the oriental medicine that has been used for the treatment of such infectious diseases and tumors. However, the mechanism of the drug is not investigated much. This study was done to know the effects of HX, RX and FX extract on the such innate immunities as phagocytic function and reactive radical formtions from phagocytes and the such acquired immunities as humoral and cell-mediated immunities. The followings are the results obtained from this study: 1. HX2 and FX1 groups increases the in vivo phagocytic activity of mononuclear phagocytes. 2. HXB, RXB, RXC, FXB and FXC groups increase the in vitro phagocytic activities. 3. RXB group stimulated the macrophages to produce nitric oxide in the presence of $interferon-{\gamma}$ $(IFN-{\gamma})$. 4. HX and RX whole groups increased the luminol-amplified reactive oxygen intermediate production in vivo. 5. HX whole and RX1, FX2 groups increased the lucigenin-amplified reactive oxygen intennediate production in vivo. 6. HXC group only increased the luminol-amplified reactive oxygen intermediate production in vitro. 7. HXB, FXB and FXC groups increased the lucigenin-amplified reactive oxygen intermediate production in vitro. 8. HX2, RX1 and FX whole groups increased the hemolysin formations from B cells. 9. HX, RX and FX whole groups significantly increased the rosette forming cells from the spleen. 10. HX, RX and FX whole groups significantly decreased the delayed-type hypersensitivity measured by footpad swelling. The above results demonstrate that HX, RX and FX has enhancing effects on innate immunity selectively and decreasing effects on delayed-type hypersensitivity of cell-mediated immunity according to medicinal part and diluted condition. This immunomodulating effects of HX, RX and FX might be responsible for the treatment of immune-mediated disorders.
