Phytase(myo-inositol-hexakis phosphate 3-phosphohydrolase, E C 3.1.3.8) sequentially hydrolyzes phytate to myo-inositol and inorganic phosphate. Phytase of Aspergillus ficuum was purified to homogeneity using ultrafiltration, cation exchange column and anion exchange column. It's molecular weight is estimated as around 90,000 by SDS-PAGE. Antibody against the phytase was produced by immunizing mice with the purified phytase. The titer of the antibody was determined to be 1/25,000.

A 12-year-old, castrated male Yorkshire terrier dog presented with frequent regurgitations that had begun 45 days earlier and become more progressive. Radiographs revealed an air-trap region behind the cranial esophageal sphincter muscle in the esophagus and esophagographies with barium contrast showed mild esophageal dilation with decreased motility. Esophageal motility increased within 5 min of neostigmine methylsulfate administration and acetylcholine receptor antibodies titer increased to beyond the normal range. Based on these findings, acquired myasthenia gravis with focal form was diagnosed, making this the first such case diagnosed by an acetylcholine receptor antibody test in Korea.

In order to investigate the seroprevalence of Salmonella Pullorum in boilers reared in Daejeon area, 509 samples were collected from 10 boiler farms randomly selected from 38. The survey was carried out during 6 months from April to October in 2007. Out of 509 chickens, 35 (6.9%) were seropositive and average titer was $2^{4.8}$. The seroprevalence by district was 5.5% (5/90) in Dong-gu, 4.1 % (4/96) in Seo-gu, 7.9% (24/303) in Yuseong-gu, 10.0% (2/20) in Daedeok-gu.

In order to investigate the effect of Mori Folium on immunologic control function, the various immune responses were studied. The results were obtained as follows : 1. The transformation of lymphocyte was increased significantly in all concentration of Mori Folium treated group as compared with negative and positive control. 2. In FACS analysis, the population of helper T cell and T cell were increased significantly in Mori Folium treated group as compared with control. 3. IL-12(p35) and INF-${\gamma}$ were upregulated in Mori Folium treated group 4. NO and carbon clearance were significantly increased in Mori Folium treated group as compared with control. 5. The hemagglutinin titer and hemolysin titer were increased but insignificantly in Mori Folium treated group as compared with control.

We prepared antibodies from insect glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and assayed the titer. Nine polyclonal antibodies against insect GAGs were raised for development of an ELISA in biological fluids (mice serum). The 3th booster collection of antiserum of BALB/c mice as a primarily antibody was assayed for titer determination by ELISA method. In sandwich ELISA of GAGs derived from Isaria sinclairii or other insects, antiserum from insect GAGs gave satisfactory results for so potent antibody(100: 1~1000:1) raising (manufacturing) agent in range of 10 ng/ml.

This study was performed to verify the effect of modified live virus vaccine against canine parvovirus (CPV) infection. Serum hemagglutination inhibition (Hl) test, histopathological and immunohistochemical techniques and polymerase chain reaction were used. The results were as follows: 1. During the experimental terms after vaccination, serum Hl titer was stable. Geometric mean titer (GMT) after the 1st vaccination was 280. After virulent CPV was challenged, GMT was 1,306. 2. After challenge by virulent CPV, the vaccinated group was not shown clinical signs and gross and histopathological findings. 3. After challenge by virulent CPV, the vaccinated group was not detected viral antigens in the small intestine immunohistochemically. 4. After challenge by violent CPV, the vaccinated group was not shown virus shedding in feces. In conclusions the overall results confirmed that modified live virus vaccine was effective on prevention of canine parvovirus infection.

Kimura's disease is an idiopathic chronic condition, associated with a high-titer of IgE and peripheral eosinophilia. It frequently presents as a solitary or multiple lesions in the head and neck area. During the perioperative period, anesthesiologists should understand the anatomical structures of the patient who has Kimura's disease involvement of the head and neck, especially the airway. It is important to pay attention to the occurrence of signs and symptoms of acute allergic reactions related to a high-titer of IgE and eosinophilia. We report our experience with anesthetic management in an 18-year-old patient with multiple neck masses due to Kimura's disease.

Cinnamic acid derivatives(CAD) originating from vegetable kingdom have some biological activity. Effect of CAD on reversed cutaneous anaphylaxis (RCA) and hemolysin (HY) titer were studied in rats. Experiments were carried out to determine RCA as the skin edema induced at 2 hours after injection of 0.05 $m\ell$/site of anti-rat serum rabbit serum. Drugs were orally administered at one hour before antigen challenge. (omitted)

In this study, we evaluated the stability and potency of live attenuated rinderpest vaccines of lapinized-avianized tissue culture strain origin, which had been produced annually from 2005 to 2008. When immune responses to the vaccines were evaluated using two Holstein calves weighing 100~150 kg, neutralizing antibody titer of 1 : 16 was induced at 21 days post vaccination. When calves were also inoculated with vaccines lots that had been stored for 39 months at ${4^{\circ}C}$, same level of antibody titer was observed. Using the virus titer test, we found that all batches of the vaccine that had been kept for 3, 10, 15, 22, 27, 34, 39, and 45 months showed no significant loss of titers, and fulfilled the requirement necessary ($\geq$ 3 $logTCID_50$) to be used as the national rinderpest vaccine reserve in Korea. In this study, we demonstrated that stability and potency of the rinderpest vaccines were maintained over three years when kept at ${4^{\circ}C}$ storage. This indicates that it maybe feasible to extend the expiration period of this vaccine from one year to three years.
