The influence of ultraviolet(UV)-ray in sun light on human skin has been noted. Textiles can provide protection against harmful UV-radiation. Normally UV-absorbing finishes are used to get better protection. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the UV-cut properties of cotton fabrics treated with UV-absorber. 2,2-dihydroxy-4,4-dimethoxbenzophenone, as UV-absorber was applied to 100% cotton fabric. Reagents added in finishing solution were Triton X-100, polyethylene glycol 400, and $MgCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$, and C.I. Direct Red 81. Both untreated and treated cotton fabrics were exposed to a xenon arc lamp for 20 and 80 hours. UV absorption spectra of finishing solutions and UV transmission spectra of fabrics were measured by the UV/VIS spectrophotometer. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. Absorption and the related transmission spectra were modified in a controlled way with UV-absorber. Absorption effect of UV-absorber was improved by adding Triton X-100, PEG 400, and $MgCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ in finishing solution. The UV absorption of finishing solution was in the following order: U/D/T/P/M>D/T/P/M> D/T> D/P, D>U/T/P/M>U/T>T/P/M>T. The UV transmittance of cotton fabrics was remarkably decreased by the application of UV-absorber and additives. The UV-cut properties were most improved by the application of U/D/T/P/M.

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) has been associated with various disease in pigs worldwide including postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) and porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS). In this study, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against PCV were produced, characterized and applications of MAbs as diagnostic reagents were described. Spleen or lymph node cells from BALB/c mouse immunized respectively with PCV-1, PCV-2 or expressed PCV-2/ORF2 proteins in baculovirus were fused with SP2/0 myeloma cells using polyethylene glycol (PEG) and hybridoma cells producing PCV-1 or PCV-2-specific antibody were screened by an indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) test. A total of fifteen MAbs were produced against PCV. Six MAbs were PCV-1-specific and nine were PCV-2-specific. All PCV-1-specific MAbs reacted with only PCV-1 and all PCV-2-specific MAbs were reactive with only PCV-2 by IIF test. None of the MAbs was reactive with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), porcine parvovirus (PPV), porcine rotavirus (PRV), and transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV). Some PCV-2-specific MAbs recognized the PCV-2 infected porcine tissues by IIF or immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay. From this experiment, it was confirmed that MAbs produced in this study were PCV-specific and could be used as reliable diagnostic reagents for PCV-1/PCV-2 detection and differentiation.

An experiment was carried out to find out the priming effects of rice seeds, Oryza sativa L. (cv. Ilpumbyeo) on. the seedling establishment and early emergence under excess soil moisture conditions. Seeds were primed by soaking in -0.6 MPa polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution at $25^{\circ}C$ for 4 days. The primed seeds were sown in soils with various soil moistures (60, 80, 100, 120, and 140% field capacity) at 17 and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. Germination and emergence rates, plumule height, and radicle length of primed seeds were higher than those of untreated seeds at any soil moisture and temperature examined. The time from planting to 50% germination ($T_{50}$) of primed seeds was less than that of untreated seeds by 0.9～3.7 days. Germination rate, emergence rate, plumule height, and radicle length were highest at the soil moisture of 80% field capacity among the soil moistures. Priming effects of rice seeds on germination and emergence rates were more prominent under the unfavorable soil moistures (60, 100, 120, and 140% field capacity) than those under the optimum soil moisture condition (80% field capacity). However, priming effects on seedling growth were greater at near optimum soil moisture compared with too lower or higher soil moistures. Therefore, these findings suggest that priming of rice seeds may be a useful way for better seedling establishment under the adverse soil conditions.

Although liposomes have been applied as drug delivery systems in various fields, the usage was limited due to the low encapsulation efficiency compared to other carrier systems. Here, cationic liposomes were prepared by mixing 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammoniopropane (DOTAP) as a cationic lipid, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycerol-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) and cholesterol (CH), and the liposomes were hydrated by varying the aqueous phases such as phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), 5% dextrose, and 10% sucrose in order to improve the encapsulation efficiency of bovine serum albumin (BSA). The particle size and zeta potential were determined by dynamic light scattering method and in vitro release patterns were investigated by spectrophotometry. Particle size and zeta potential of liposomes were varied depending on the ratio of DOTAP/DOPE/CH in range of 270-350 nm and 0.8-9.7 mV, respectively. Moreover, the addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) improved the encapsulation efficiency from 37% to 43% as well as reduced particle sizes of liposomes while the liposomes were hydrated in PBS. When the liposomes were hydrated with 10% sucrose, the encapsulation efficiency of BSA was higher than any other groups. Whereas PBS was used as hydration solution, lower encapsulation efficiency was obtained compared with other groups. More than 60% of BSA was released from the liposomes hydrated with 10% sucrose; thereafter another 20% of BSA was released. Therefore, release pattern of BSA from cationic liposomes was extended release in this study. From the results, cationic liposomes dispersed in 10% sucrose would be potential carrier with high encapsulation efficiency.

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.
