소 설사병 바이러스 구조단백에 대한 단크론항체를 작성하여 혈청중화시험, 전기영동, 면역침전반응을 이용하여 분석하였던 바 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 중화능력이 있는 항체의 경우 56K내지 54K의 구조단백에 대응하였다. 그외 중화력을 나타내지 않는 항체는 45K와 36K의 바이러스 항원과 대응하였다. 순수정제된 바이러스의 전기영동 분석결과 12종 이상의 바이러스 단백성분이 구조단백질로서 검출되었으며 중화능력을 나타내는 항체를 이용한 면역침전 결과는 이들의 존재를 뒷받침하였다. 중화단백성분의 세포내 전구물질의 검출은 불가능하였으나 방사선동위원소 부착즉시 세포배지에서 바이러스의 존재를 확인할 수 있었다. Staphylococcus aureus $V_8$효소를 이용한 항원의 부분소화 분석결과 45K와 36K의 바이러스 항원은 서로 상관이 있는 것으로서 입증되었다.

조류 인플루엔자 바이러스는 다양한 숙주 단백질을 이용해야만 증식이 가능하다. 포유류 (사람, 쥐) Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP)는 최근 인플루엔자 A 바이러스 viral RNP (vRNP)의 조립을 돕고, 이를 핵에서 세포질로 운반시켜 바이러스 증식에 도움을 준다. 하지만, 조류 인플루엔자 바이러스의 주요 숙주인 닭에서는 FMRP translational regulator 1 (FMR1) 유전자의 기능이 규명되지 않았다. 본 연구는 CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9) 유전자 가위를 이용해 정확히 닭 FMR1 유전자를 제거하여 닭 FMR1 유전자가 조류 인플루엔자 바이러스 증식에 어떤 영향을 끼치는지 연구하였다. 닭 FMR1 유전자는 닭 배아섬유아세포 (DF1세포)에서 초기 조류 인플루엔자 바이러스의 유전자 발현을 촉진하나, 감염 후 24시간 뒤에는 바이러스 생산 및 바이러스 중합효소 (Polymerase)의 활성에 영향을 끼치지 않았다. 또한, 야생형 닭 FMR1 유전자를 과발현 함에도 불구하고, 조류 인플루엔자 바이러스의 생산량에는 변화가 없었다. 위 결과들은 닭 FMR1은 포유류 FMR1 유전자에 비해 조류 인플루엔자 바이러스의 증식에 큰 영향을 주지 못하는 숙주인자임을 시사한다. 또한, 닭 FMR1처럼 기존에 포유류에서 알려진 숙주 인자를 목표로 하는 조류 인플루엔자 바이러스 저항성 치료제 및 형질전환 동물을 생산할 때, 조류 시스템에서 위 숙주 인자의 기능이 보존돼 있는지 고찰할 필요가 있다고 사료된다.

Viral safety is a prerequisite for manufacturing clinical antihemophilic factor VIII concentrates from human plasma. With particular regard to the hepatitis A virus (HAV), a terminal dry-heat treatment ($100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min) process, following lyophilization, was developed to improve the virus safety of a solvent/detergent-treated antihemophilic factor VIII concentrate. The loss of factor VIII activity during dry-heat treatment was of about 5%. No substantial changes were observed in the physical and biochemical characteristics of the dry-heat-treated factor VIII compared with those of the factor VIII before dry-heat treatment. The dry-heat-treated factor VIII was stable for up to 24 months at $4^{\circ}C$. The dry-heat treatment after lyophilization was an effective process for inactivating viruses. The HAV, murine encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were completely inactivated to below detectable levels within 10 min of the dry-heat treatment. Bovine herpes virus (BHV) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) were potentially sensitive to the treatment. However porcine parvovirus (PPV) was slightly resistant to the treatment. The log reduction factors achieved during lyophilization and dry-heat treatment were ${\geq}5.55$ for HAV, ${\geq}5.87$ for EMCV, ${\geq}5.15$ for HIV, 6.13 for BHV, 4.46 for BVDV, and 1.90 for PPV. These results indicate that dry-heat treatment improves the virus safety of factor VIII concentrates, without destroying the activity. Moreover, the treatment represents an effective measure for the inactivation of non-lipid-enveloped viruses, in particular HAV, which is resistant to solvent/detergent treatment.

Since viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) was first reported in European rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in the 1930s, it has caused high prices in freshwater and saltwater fish around the world, causing enormous economic damage to the aquaculture industry. We have been seeking required countermeasures against viruses because of economic damage to the aquaculture industry. However, commercial vaccines have the limitations of being costly to use in farms and being effective to only one pathogen. The aquaculture industry these days is taking on new alternatives to vaccines, antibiotics and chemicals. In this study, the suitability of antiviral effects against VHSV was evaluated in vitro for various plant extracts to judge their effectiveness. Atriplex gmelinii, Ixeris repens, Arctium lappa, and Sargassum coreanum were tested to know the correlation between the amount of virus and the concentration of extract investigates if these extracts have antiviral effects. Virus and extracts at various concentrations were inoculated simultaneously as 1:1 ratio into EPC cell lines. There are no antiviral effects with Atriplex gmelinii, Ixeris repens and Arctium lappa. Extract of Sargassum coreanum only has the antiviral activity in a dose-dependent manner. These results show that extract of Sargassum coreanum can be used in aquaculture industry as an antiviral materials.

In order to find antiviral effect against Human immunodeficiency virus(HIV), Herpes simplex virus type I(HSV-1) and II(HSV-2) from herb medicines, publicated 29 paters on anti-viral effect of herbal medicines and a convenient virus-induced cytopathic effect (CEP) inhibition assay was introduced. The major virus on experiment are HIV, Hepatitis B virus and HSV-1,2. Those of other studies showed inhibition of infected virus DNA replication and screening test of herbal medicines. More than 15 extractions were prepared by pure water boiling from herbal medicines, and their toxicity of infected cell and anti-viral activities were evaluated. Among them, the major part of herbal medicines showed cell stability compared with the contrast. Cytotoxic concentration (CC) of the $H_2O$ extracts of Padoo against HIV was <4.0, Hyungbangpaedoksan against HIV was 9.3, Whangyonhaedoktang against HIV-1 and HSV-2 was 15.3. These are high level cytotoxic concentration compared with the contrast. But antiviral effect was unable to figure out for selective $index(SI)=CC_{50}/EC_{50}$. The other herbal medicines were unable to showed potent anti-HIV and anti-HSV activity. The antiviral activation using herbs in this thesis have unlimited objects, to select research object will help to show the direction of antiviral drug development that have less side effect and more excellent efficiency.

Human foamy virus (HFV) integrase mediates integration of viral c-DNA into cellular DNA. In this process, HFV prointegration complex (PIC) in which integrase is a key component moves to nuclei of the infected cells and leads to integration of viral DNA to the cellular genome, which is essential in viral life cycle. In general nuclear localization signals (NLS) have been suggested to be involved in localizing retroviral PIC to nuclei, but the mechanisms for nuclear localization of the HFV PIC remains unclear. To functionally identify the NLS of HFV integrase, various subdomains of the protein were expressed as GFP fusions and their subcellular locations were analyzed with confocal laser scanning microscopy. Wild type HFV integrase was karyophilic by targeting the fusion protein to nuclei of the COS-1 and 293T cells. Our results showed that strong NLS of HFV integrase was mapped to the C-terminal regions. In addition the karyophilic properties of N-terminal and central regions are not individually strong enough to direct localization of the fusion proteins to nuclei, but their cooperative activity for nuclear import was confirmed.

Amphotericin B (AmB), an amphipathic polyene macrolide, is an antifungal drug produced by Streptomyces nodosus. Recently, AmB has been shown to exert antiviral activity against rubella virus and human immunodeficiency virus by different mechanisms. In this study, we evaluated the antiviral effect of AmB against Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and investigated which step of the viral life cycle was inhibited by AmB to understand the mechanism of antiviral action of AmB. AmB reduced both plaque size and number in the infected cells in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, a 200-fold reduction of infectious virus titer was observed by treatment of infected cells with $5\mug/ml$ of AmB. AmB acted at the post virus-infection step, but not during adsorption of virus to host cells. Western blot analysis revealed that the accumulated level of JEV envelope protein dramatically decreased in the infected cells by treatment with $5-10\mug/ml$ of AmB. Our results indicate that AmB inhibits the replication of JEV at the postinfection step by interfering with viral replication and/or by inhibiting the synthesis of viral proteins.

Bovine viral diarrhea viruses (BVDVs) were isolated from cattle with respiratory and diarrhea signs as well as persistently infected cattle. These isolates were analysed serologically to characterize serogroups and to compare serological relationship with reference viruses of type I and II. Most isolates from calf diarrheal cases and persistently infected individuals showed a significant difference in cross-neutralization test with the viruses isolated from nasal discharges showing severe respiratory signs. Serologically most of the commercial vaccine strains could be classified into classical BVDV (type I) such as NADL strain. This serological difference among BVDV isolates suggested the need for new vaccines to protect cattle from both respiratory and enteric BVDV infections in field. The immunogenicity of BVDVs which showed a good propagation capability in MDBK cells and high rates of neutralizing activity (isolate : KD26-1, PHG, B5 and 95002) against all viruses used in this study, was confirmed in guinea pig when treated as single or combined groups.

Natural killer (NK) cells are a heteroguneous subpopulation of lymphocytes that spontaneously exhibit cytotoxic activity against various virus-Infected and neoplastic target cells without prior exposure to a specific antigen. It was thought that NK calls play an important role in immunosurvrillanre against viral agents and tumors, and in prevention of metastasis. Recently, several reports have indicated evidence that ginseng extracts show a significant stimulatory effect on the humoral and cellular immune responses. This evidence gives support to the suggestion that the anticarcinogenic effect of ginseng may be due to the effect of ginseng on the immunological system. Treatment with total, diol, and triol saponin resulted in an increase in NK cytotoxic activity, but no enhancement of the lytic activity due to the natural killer cytotoxic factor (NKCF). Therefore, these results suggest that the augmentation of NK activity by ginseng saponin fractions may not be due to the activation of NKCF lytic activity.

Transcription of hepatitis B viral pregenomic promoter is known to be regulated mainly by the combined interaction of enhancers I, II and the intervening regulatory sequences between the two enhancers. A positive regulatory element was identified by serial deletion and measuring the linked chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) activities, which overlapped with the 5' region of the X open reading frame. When the positive regulatory element was inserted upstream of the SV40 early promoter, it elevated SV40 promoter activity in HepG2 cells. Two cellular proteins of 110 (p110) and 33 (p33) kDa interacted with the positive element and both of them were present in the nucleus, but p110 also existed in the cytoplasm in phosphorylated form. Dephosphorylation of p110 by acid phosphatase enhanced the DNA-binding activity of p110. The p33 could bind to single-strand DNA specifically as well as to double-strand DNA.
