본 연구는 면역화된 산란계로부터 생산된 계란 난황중에 들어있는 S. mutans균주의 specific IgY를 분리하여 면역화 여부, Specific IgY 농도별 및 균수별에 따른 항균력을 현미경적 및 탁도측정에 의한 IgY의 항균력 효과를 검토하고자 실시하였다. 면역화 여부에 따른 탁도시험 결과 면역처리된 처리구에 crude IgY를 10%와 20% 첨가에 의해 항균 효과가 있었다. 면역을 하지 않은 닭에서 생산된 계란으로부터 추출한 IgY를 10% 첨가구와 대조구에서는 응집반응을 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 S. mutans로 면역화된 닭에서 생산된 계란에서 추출한 IgY의 10%첨가구는 상등액과 침전물에서는 균들이 응집되는 현상을 보였다. 면역화된 조난황 specific IgY를 첨가한 처리구가 대조구 보다 S. mutans균들이 응집되는 정도에 있어서 확실한 효과를 나타내었다. 조 난황 specific IgY의 농도별 시험에서는 5%이상 첨가구 들에서는 전반적으로 균체들의 응집현상이 나타났으며 IgY를 2.5% 이하로 첨가한 처리구와는 확연한 차이를 보였다. 탁도에 있어서도 조 난황 specific IgY 농도별 시험에서는 첨가농도에 따라 차이가 있었지만 10% 이상 첨가구에서는 탁월한 효과를 나타내었다. 응집된 균괴의 크기는 IgY첨가량이 증가할수록 점점 더 커져가는 현상을 나타내었다. 균수별에서는 $10^5\;cfu/mL$ 이상 접종구에서는 균체들이 응집되는 현상을 보였으며 균수가 많을수록 더욱 응집되는 현상을 나타내었다. Plaque 형성력은 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 IgY 농도 15%에서는 plaque 형성이 약 75%가 저해되었다. 따라서 면역화된 닭으로 부터 생산된 계란에서 추출된 crude IgY를 사용하여 S. mutans균으로부터 발생된 충치를 예방할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

Many previous studies have proved that human allergic disease resulted from the formation of antibodies belonging to a unique immunoglobulin isotype termed immunoglobulin E (IgE). Most of IgE-producing plasma cells are found in the lymphoid tissue associated with the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. IgE may be found free in the mucosal secretions of these tissues, bound to local mast cells, or distributed by the systemic circulation to mast cells and basophils throughout the body. Total serum IgE concentrations tend to be higher in allergic adults and children compared with non-allergic individuals, but the value of total serum IgE as a screening test for allergic disease is limited. Total serum IgE levels are related to the probability of an individual having detectable allergen-specific IgE. Allergen-specific IgE concentrations vary with a person's age, the degree and duration of the recent allergen or cross-reactive allergen exposure. The value of quantitative assays for allergen-specific IgE has been suggested in recent studies. Serum IgE increases in many non-allergic diseases, including infectious and parasitic diseases. The IgE changes appear to be specific to the infectious agents, whereas non-specific in other diseases. The increased serum IgE in some of these conditions probably results from alterations in immune function. This review summarizes the clinical significance of total and allergen-specific IgE examinations in allergic diseases.

Salmonella gallinarum로 면역화된 산란계로부터 생산된 계란 난황 중에 들어 있는 anti-S, gallinarum specific IgY를 분리하여 IgY의 효능을 살펴보았다. 또한 면역화 여부, specific IgY 농도별 및 균수별에 따른 항균력을 현미경적 관찰 및 탁도 측정, pH 변화로 검토하였다. 전체 IgY 중 anti-S. gallinarum IgY의 특이항체의 비율은 23%로 나타났다. 또한 anti-S, gallinarum IgY와 Salmonella유사 균주의 항원에 대한 IgY의 선택성을 조사한 결과 생산된 IgY는 S, gallinarum 에만 선택성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. S, gallinarum 배양액에 anti-S. gallinarum specific IgY 0.3%를 첨가한 처리구는 상등액과 침전물에서 S, gallinarum가 응집되는 현상을 보였다. 그러나 면역을 하지 않은 닭에서 생산된 계란으로부터 추출한 IgY와 대조구에서는 응집 반응이 일어나지 않았다. Anti-S, gallinarum IgY를 첨가한 처리구가 대조구보다 S. gallinarum균들이 응집되는 정도에 있어서 확실한 효과를 나타내었다. 현미경 관찰시 균체들의 응집현상은 IgY 0.2% 이상 첨가시에 나타났으며, pH와 탁도에 있어서는 IgY 0.1% 이상 첨가구에서 S. gallinarum 성장 억제의 탁월한 효과를 볼 수 있었다. $10^5CFU/mL$에 Anti-S, gallinarum IgY 0.3%를 첨가한 처리구는 $10^3CFU/mL$와 거의 동일한 탁도를 나타내어 IgY에 의한 성장 억제를 확인할 수 있었다. 현미경적 관찰에서 IgY 첨가량이 증가할수록 더 큰 균괴를 형성하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 위의 결과들을 통해 S. gallinarum로 면역화된 닭으로부터 생산된 계란에서 추출된 IgY를 사용하면 가금티푸스를 예방하는데 이용될 수 있을 가능성을 보여주었다.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) has become a serious epidemic in Korean children. We aimed to investigate the association between vitamin C, E and other nutrients, and serum total IgE/specific IgE levels in children with AD. A total of 119 children (0-24 mo) diagnosed with AD were recruited for this cross-sectional study from a medical center in Seoul. A 24 h recall was used to assess dietary intakes. Serum total and six food-allergen specific IgE levels were measured by CAP-FEIA. Serum vitamin E was also measured but only in 25 out of the total 119 participants. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to estimate the coefficients between serum IgE levels and dietary intake as well as serum vitamin E. Serum vitamin E levels showed a significantly inverse association with serum total IgE and all specific IgE levels (P < 0.05). Fat intake was inversely related with specific-IgEs for egg whites, milk, buck wheat, soy, and peanuts (P < 0.05). Positive associations were found between carbohydrate (CHO) intake and total IgE and specific IgEs to egg whites, milk, soy, and peanuts (P < 0.05). Vitamin C, E and n-3/n-6 fatty acids were not related with serum total IgE and specific IgE levels except for the association between buck wheat and vitamin E. In addition, there were no significant differences between males and females in dietary intake and serum IgE levels by student's t-test. Although dietary vitamin E showed no association with serum IgE levels, serum vitamin E drew a significant inverse relationship with serum IgE levels. The evidence seems to suggest that vitamin E may possibly lower total and specific-IgEs in children with AD, and that it is important to maintain a relatively high serum vitamin E level in children with AD.

Enhancement of antigen-specific IgE is a hallmark of allergic hyperresponsiveness, therefore it is necessary to adopt or develop a highly sensitive and specific assay for determination of allergen-specific IgE levels in vivo. In this presentation, we introduce an ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) system developed to measure the levels of chicken egg ovalbumin (OVA)-specific IgE in serum. The ELISA method uses a commercially available purified rat anti-mouse IgE as a capture Ab and biotinylated OVA as a detection reagent. Avidin-peroxidase with its substrate is used for color development resulting in optical density measurement at 405 nm. The ELISA system produces a highly sensitive dose-response relation-ship between optical density levels and the dilution titer of the OVA-IgE standard serum but no cross-reaction with unrelated IgE or IgG. It is believed that the system is an Efficient tool to delineate an adjuvant effect of environmental pollutants on development of asthmatic and atopic responses.

Cortex Mori, the root bark of mulbery tree has been used as an antiphlogistic, diuretic, and expectorant in herbal medicine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate chicken gamma globulin (CGG)-specific IgE-induced morphologic and functional changes in rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMC), and to determine whether Cortex Mori could inhibit the CGG-specific IgE-depeildent mast cell degranulation and histamine release from RPMC. Results are 1) the degranuration and histamine release from RPMC were not induced within 1 hour after addition of Cortex Mori alone, 2) the CGG and CGG-specific IgE-Induced degranulation from RPMC was observed within 10 minutes, 3) the histamine release from RPMC sensitised with CGG-specific IgE was induced by tile addition of CGG, 4) CGG-specific IgE-dependent degranulation rate in RPMC pretreated with Cortex Mori was significantly Inhibited, compared to that of control group without Cortex Mori pretreatment, and 5) the CGG-specific IgE-dependent histamine release from RPMC was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with Cortex Mori. These data suggest that Cortex Mori contains some substances with capabilities to inhibit CGG-specific IgE-dependent degranulation and histamine release from RPMC.

The present study analyzed serum IgG subclass antibody reaction to major antigenic bands of Clonorchis sinensis to investigate improvement of its serodiagnosis. Of the four subclass antibodies, IgG1 and IgG2 antibodies were produced but not specific, IgG3 antibody was least produced, and IgG4 antibody was prominent and specific. The serum IgG antibody reaction to any of 43-50, 34-37, 26-28, and 8 kDa bands was found in 65.5％ of 168 egg positive cases while IgG4 antibody reaction was found in 22.0％ of them. The positive rates of IgG and IgG4 antibodies were directly correlated with the intensity of infection. All of the sera from heavily infected cases over EPG 5,000 showed positive reaction for specific IgG and IgG4 antibodies. The specific serum IgG4 antibody disappeared within 6 months after treatment. The bands of 35 kDa and 67 kDa cross-reacted with IgG antibodies but not with IgG4 antibodies in sera of other trematode infections. The present findings suggest that serum IgG4 antibody reaction to 8 kDa band is specific but not sensitive. Any method to increase its sensitivity is required for improved serodiagnosis.

The inhibitory effect of IgY against Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus responsible for seafood-borne diseases was investigated in this study. Water-soluble fractions (WSF) of protein containing IgYs were isolated from the egg yolk of hens initially immunized with formalin-inactivated V. parahaemolyticus or V. vulnificus. Protein, total and specific IgY contents of the WSF were determined. The inhibitory and protective effects of IgYs on the growth of V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus were assayed in liquid medium and in mice. IgYs showed high affinity to their corresponding antigens with high titer from day 28 onwards. Protein contents and total IgY concentrations remained stable throughout the immunization period, whereas specific IgY concentrations increased steadily and reached a plateau at day 49. Specific IgY powder (150 mg/ml) significantly inhibited further multiplication of both V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus in liquid medium as compared with the control IgY. The bacteria count in mice feces was lower in mice pretreated with specific IgYs than in those pretreated with PBS or control IgY. Higher survival of mice was observed in the experimental groups pretreated with either anti-V. parahaemolyticus (75% survival) or anti-V. vulnificus (87% survival) IgYs, compared with those in the control groups pretreated with PBS or nonspecific IgY. All mice in the control groups died within three days after bacteria inoculation; hence, the protective effect of specific IgYs against infection caused by V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus was demonstrated.

This study was performed to determine the effect of maternal protein intake on 1) the concentration of immune substances in milk 2) degree of passive immunity to pups via lactation, and 3) specific antibody production to a specific antigen, $\beta$-lactoglobulin(BLG). 4) the effect of passive immunity that pups received from mother during lactation on the production of antibodies when the pups were challenged to the same antigen. Part of the female rats were immunized with BLG before and during pregnancy. The pregnant rats were placed into either 25% or 10% isolated soy protein diet throughout gestation and lactation. After weaning, pups from each group continued to be fed the same diet. At 18 weeks of age, all the pups were challenged with BLG. Total IgA and IgG, lysozyme, BLG-specific IgA and IgG were measured in dam's serum, dam's milk, and pup's serum. Total IgG, and lysozyme in dam's serum and milk were higher in high protein group. Total IgA and IgG in pup's serum remained higher in high protein group from 5 to 18 weeks of age. BLG-specific antibodies were found in the milk and serum of immunized dams, and in serum of pups born to immunized dams but not in the non-immunized group. BLG-specific IgA and IgG were again higher in high protein group and declined with time. The concentration decreased faster in the low proetein group than in the high protein groups. After immunization the pups with LBG, serum BLG-specific antibodies were not differ between rats born to immunized dams and those born to non-immunized dams. Therefore passive immunity rats received via milk as a pup had no effect on the BLG-specific antibody production later in life. This study shows the importance of protein status of mother and strongly support to the endorsement of breast feeding.
