The hemagglutinin-esterase glycoprotein (HE) gene of bovine coronavirus, coupled with a simian virus 40 early promoter and polyadenylation signal, was inserted into a human adenovirus transfer vector. The transfer vector was used to co-transfect 293 cells along with adenovirus genomic DNA. The hemagglutinin-esterase transcription unit was rescued into the adenovirus genome by homologous in vivo DNA recombination between the vector plasmid DNA and the adenovirus genomic DNA, and a recombinant adenovirus was isolated by several rounds of plaque assays. Thus the recombinant adenovirus carries the hemagglutinin-esterase gene in the early transcription region 3 (E3) of the adenovirus genome in the parallel orientation to the E3 transcription. The recombinant adenovirus synthesized the HE polypeptide in HeLa cells as demonstrated by immunoprecipitation with anti-coronavirus rabbit antisera. The recombinant HE polypeptide could be labelled by $[^3H]$glucosamine, demonstrating that the recombinant HE was glycosylated. Cells expressing the HE polypeptide exhibited hemadsorption activity when incubated with mouse erythrocytes. The HE was transported to the plasma membrane as shown by the cell surface immunofluorescence, indicating that the recombinant HE polypeptide retained its biological activities. Potential for the use of infectious recombinant adenovirus as a live virus-vectored vaccine candidate for bovine coronavirus disease is discussed.

We have recently reported the development of a high efficiency expression vector, pCK, which can drive a high level of gene expression in mouse skeletal muscle. In this study, we tested the therapeutic potential of pCK expressing human VEGF165, pCK-VEGF in the rabbit ischemic hind limb model. To determine the optimal dose of plasmid DNA, various concentrations of pCK-CAT were injected into the muscle of a rabbit hind limb and the levels of CAT activity were determined. It was found that the expression level of the exogenously added gene became stable between 250 and 1,000 $\mu$g. Based on this result, we tested whether intramuscular transfer of 500$\mu$g of pCK-VEGF could actually modulate collateral vessel development in a rabbit ischemic hind limb model. It was found that relative to the control group injected with the pCK lacking the VEGF sequence, single intramuscular doses (500$\mu$g) of pCK-VEGF produced statistically significant augmentation of collateral vessels as determined by the angiographic vessel count, maximal blood flow by Doppler flowmeter and the number of capillaries by histology. These results suggest that a single 500$\mu$g-delivery of pCK-VEGF is potent enough to induce sufficient angiogenic activity and achieve therapeutic benefit on this rabbit model.

우리나라 자연환경으로부터 분리한 Rhizob ium 32권주로부터 카나마이신, 세트라싸이클린 등에는 예민하고, 클로람페니콜, 젠타마이신 등에는 강한 내성을 나타내는 5 균주를 선별하고, 이를 수용세포로하여 RP4::Mu cts를 접함에 의해 E. coli로부터 Rhizobium leguminosarum으로 전달 시켰다. 그 전달빈도는 $5.8{\times}10^{-7}$의 빈도를 나타내었다. 접합체에서의 RP4::Mu cts플라스미드의 존재는 암피실린과 카나마이신, 테트라싸이클린에 대한 내정과 $42^{\circ}C$에서의 플라크 형성으로 확인하였다. 접합체들은 $10^2~10^3$단위로 플라크를 형성하였고, 안정성를 조사한 신파 4주 후에도 대부분이 RP4: :Mu cts의 성질을 유지하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

임상 검체에서 분리 동정한 E.faecalis 균주에 대하여 gentamicin및 타 항균제에 대한 감수성을 조사했고, R-플라스미드 DNA패턴 및 제한효소에 의한 DNA단편분석,filter-mating에 의한 gentamicin 플라스미드 DNA 전이, R-플라스미드 DNA 제거, tetracycline 내성 유전자확인, 항원분석을 실시하였다. 분리된 40주 E. faecalis 모두가 gentamicin에는 내성이었고, 25주는 요 검체에서 분리되었으며, 이 40균주들 중 95%가 입원환자에서 분리되어 중요한 원내감염균임을 알 수 있었다. Gentamicin 고도내성 E. faecalis는 24주(60%)이었고, 최소억제농도의 범위는 ampicillin이 1~64$\mu$g/ml, Chroramphenicol 이 8~128$\mu$g/ml 과 erythromycin 128 $\mu$g/ml, vancomycinol 1~2 $\mu$g이었다. 분리한 Gentamicin 고도내성 E. faecalis HL-1은 4가지 항균제에 모두 내성이었고, 7종류의 플라스미드가 있었다. HL-2와 HL-3은 모두 6종류, HL-4는 7종류, HL-5는 4종류 그리고 HL-6은 5종류의 플라스미드가 있었다. E. faecalis HL-1 과 HL-6의 내성전달 빈도는 6.3$\times10^{-4}$ 과 3.7$\times10^{-5}$이 었으며, E faecalis HL-1의 내성전달 빈도가 높았다 접합에 의해 E.faecalir HL-1과 HL-6의 플라스미드 중 51.7 Kb크기의 전이된 DNA가 확인되어 gentamicin 내성이 플라스미드 전이에 의한 것임을 알 수 있었다. Tetracycline 유전자는 E.faecalis transconjugants R-1의 2.15 Kb 플라스미드에 있었다. 공여균주 및 transconjugants균주의 항원성을 Immunoblotting으로 분석한 결과 E. faecalis HL-1과 E. faecalis transconjugants R-1균주는 97.8, 46.8 Kd의 분자량을 갖는 단백질과 공통적으로 반응하였고, E. faecalis HL-6와 E. faecalis transconjugants R-6균주는 46.8 Kd의 분자량을 갖는 단백질과 공통적으로 반응하였다. 그 반응의 강도는 85.8, 97.8, 46.8, 33.7, 63.5 와 74.8 Kd 순이었다. 공여균주 E. faecalis HL-6에서는 반응하지 않았던 97.8, 95.8, 74.8와 63.5 Kd의 단백질이 E. faecalis transconjugants R-6균 주에서 반응하였다. 이들 종 특이성 단백질을 Invitro에서는 배양되지 않는 E. faecalis에 대한 혈청학적 진단의 항원으로 이용한다면 유용할 것이다.

Cationic lipid emulsion system consisting of 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-slycero-3-trimethyl-ammonium-propane(DOTAP) and plasmin DNA with various counterions in the lipid headgroups were prepared. The transfection activity of the cationic lipid emulsion systems was then investigated in vitro and in vivo. The complex formation of plasmid DNA lipid emulsion was affected by the counterions through charged headgroup repulsion and also by the salt concen-tration in the media. As such , the transfection activity of the DOTAP emulsion system can be controlled by changing the counterions.

Cationic liposomes complexed with DNA have been extensively utilized for the delivery of reporter or therapeutic genes both in culture and in vivo. We investigated and determined the optimum conditions of a cationic liposome, composed of dimethyldioctadecy-lammonium bromide (DDAB) and dioleoyl phosphati-dylethanolamine UOPE), mediated a reporter plasmid expressing luciferase into insect cell lines (Sf-21 and Bm-N) and silkworm larvae. Together the data demonstrated that Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) genomic DNA (128 kb) was successfully transfected into Bm-5 cells using this liposome. These results suggest that DDAB/DOPE liposome will be useful as delivery agents for gene transfer to insect cells both in vitro and in vivo.

For a continuous expression of human cytochrome p450 3A5 (CYP3A5) and NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CYPR) proteins, bicistronic construct (CYP3A5BC-LNCX2) was made using internal ribosome entry site (IRES). As for mammalian cell expression, we used pLNCX2 retroviral vector; and using calcium phosphate, plasmid transfer was achieved in 293GPG cell and transduced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell.(omitted)

A modified E. coli trp operon, $trpL({\Delta}att)\;trpE^{FBR}$, was conjugally transfered into Klebsiella pneumoniae $KC_{100}\;(Phe^-,\;Tyr^-,\;Trp^-,\;Rif^r,\;Kam^r)$ by in vivo cloning using the hybrid plasmid $R_{6}K::$ Mucts 61 with a transfer frequency of $5.2{\times}10^{-7}$. Two K. pneumoniae transconjugants, $KUA_{701}\;and\;KUA_{702}$, were isolated. The characters of attenuation control-free and resistance to feedback-inhibition which are characteristics of donor C. coli trp operon were normally expressed in the $KUA_{701}.\;However,\;KUA_{702}$ retained only the feedback-inhibition resistant character. $Trp^+$ phenotype and ampicillin resistant character were completely stable in the transconjugants, but streptomycin resistant character was lost in the transconjugants.

식물근부병의 방제균으로 선발된 Bacillus subtilis YBL-7의 식물부균 Fusarium solani에 대한 길항력을 유전공학적 조작에 의해 다목적으로 증강시킬 수 있는지를 타진하기 위해 외부유전자인 Bacillus pasteurii의 urease 유전자를 생물방제균 B.subtilis YBL-7내 도입자하고자 시도하였다. 외부 urease 유전자는 B.pasteurii의 urease gene을 shuttle vector인 pGR71의 HindII site에 삽입하여 E.coli내에서 발현시킨 pGU66을 사용하여 형질전환시켰으며 이때의 최적 형질전환조건과 도입된 urease 유전자의 발현을 조사해 보았다.
