The present study evaluated the potential use of immunoglobulin prepared from egg yolk of chickens immunized with Escherichia coli K88 (IgY-Ec) in the control of E. coli K88 infection in RAW 264.7 murine macrophage. The binding activity of IgY-Ec against E. coli K88 surface protein was more specific and increased than control IgY. In infection assay of E. coli in macrophage, the specific IgY-Ec to E. coli K88 remarkably inhibited the phagocytic activity comparing to nonspecific IgY (p<0.001). In adherence assay, bacterial adhesion on macrophage cells was definitely reduced by preincubation of IgY-Ec compared with nonspecific IgY (p<0.05). These findings suggested that IgY-Ec have the protective effects against pathogens and IgY-based diets may have potential benefits for preventing or treating various infections in domestic animals.

본 연구는 가금에서 호흡기 질환, 심낭수종, 봉입체 간염, 산란저하증 등을 유발하는 가금 아데노바이러스의 fiber 2 유전자에 대한 특이 난황 항체를 개발하고자 실험을 실시하였다. Fiber 2 유전자를 클로닝한 뒤, 대장균 발현 시스템을 이용하여 약 22 kDa의 재조합 fiber 2 단백질을 생산하였다. 이를 산란계에 3주 간격으로 총 4회 면역하여 혈청 및 난황 내 항체가를 측정한 결과, 면역 후 12주경에 항체가가 최고치에 달하였으며, 산란계로부터 획득한 난황 항체를 이용한 Western blot analysis 결과, 가금 아데노바이러스 내 fiber 2 단백과 특이적으로 반응한다는 것을 규명하였다. 결론적으로, 가금 아데노바이러스 fiber 2에 특이적인 난황 항체 생산에 성공하였으며, 이러한 특이적인 난황 항체는 가금 아데노바이러스로 인한 질병의 예방 및 치료에 활용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Swine respiratory diseases have induced severe economic losses in swine industry worldwide. Several methods have been developed and applied to prevent and control the disease. However, those are still problematic in swine industry. Recently, the use of egg yolk antibodies with several advantages was introduced and applied to control diseases in animal as well as human. As the first step of the use of egg yolk antibodies in the control of the swine respiratory diseases, we investigated the immunogens of the causative agensts of the diseases and immune response in egg yolk of hens immunized with them. Bacterial antigens prepared from Bordetella bronchiseptica, Pasteurella multocida 3A and 4D, and Actinobacillus pleuropneumaniae serotype 2 and 5 were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Western blot and toxicity test in mice. The antigens were injected into laying hens in order to produce antibodies against them in egg yolk. After chickens were immunized three times in 2 weeks interval, the profile of antibody production was examined by ELISA. The production of antibody in egg yolk was started in 2 weeks after the first injection, reached peak in 6-8 weeks and maintained until 12 weeks. Of two adjuvants used in this study, ISA70 was more effective than aluminum hydroxide gel in enhancing immunogenecity, laying rates and safety in hens. These results suggested that egg yolk antibodies could be a good source for production of antibodies specific to pathogenic bacteria inducing respiratory diseases of swine.

Polyclonal antibodies labeled with a tracer have been commonly used as secondary antibodies in immunochemical assays to quantify the concentration of antibody-antigen complexes. The majority of these antibodies conjugated with a tracer are commercially available, with the exception of few untouched targets. This study focused on the production and application of mouse anti-quail IgY as an intermediate antibody to link between quail egg yolk IgY and goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP as primary and secondary antibodies, respectively. Subsequently, the produced mouse anti-quail IgY was labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and its efficiency on enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was compared with that of commercial rabbit anti-chicken IgY-HRP. As an intermediate antibody, mouse anti-quail IgY was successfully produced with good affinity and sensitivity (1:10,000) to the primary and secondary antibodies. Subsequently, mouse anti-quail IgY was effectively conjugated with HRP enzyme, resulting in a secondary antibody with good sensitivity (1:10,000) to quail anti-V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus IgY. The detection limit was $10^5$ CFU/ml for both V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus. The efficiency of the produced conjugate to detect quail IgY on ELISA was comparable to that of the commercial rabbit anti-chicken IgY-HRP, and hence the produced and labeled mouse anti-quail IgY-HRP can be used as a secondary antibody to detect any antibody produced in quail.

Lily symptomless virus (LSV), Lily mottle virus (LMoV), and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) are the most prevalent viruses infecting lilies in Korea. Leaf and bulb samples showing characteristic symptoms of virus infection were collected in 2012, and 80 field samples were analyzed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The infection frequencies were 79% for LMoV, 5% for LSV, and 3% for CMV. The LMoV coat protein gene was amplified and cloned into the pET21d(+) expression vector to develop serological diagnostic tools to detect LMoV. The resulting carboxy-terminal His-tagged coat proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3) by induction with IPTG. The recombinant proteins were purified using Ni-NTA agarose beads and used as an antigen to produce polyclonal antibodies in laying hens. The resulting egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) specifically recognized LMoV from infected plant tissues in immunoblotting assays and had comparable sensitivity to that of a mammalian antibody. In addition, method of immunocapture RT-PCR using this IgY was developed for sensitive, efficient, and rapid detection of LMoV. Based on these results, large-scale bulb tests and detection of LMoV in epidemiological studies can be performed routinely using this IgY. This is the first report of production of a polyclonal IgY against a plant virus and its use for diagnosis.

Although several methods have been developed and applied to control swine respiratory diseases, the disease induces severe economic impact to swine industry worldwide. As one of the new trials, application of egg yolk antibody(IgY) was attempted for the purposes and immune response in sera and egg yolk was analysed with ELISA in previous study. In this study, immunological specificity of the IgY was analysed by Western blot analysis. In the analysis of causative agents of atrophic rhinits, B bronchiseptica and P multocida 4D, proteins of 33, 40, 43, 67 and 141 kDa were specifically reacted with IgY Also, 40 and 110 kDa proteins were identified as the major immunogens in P multocida 3A. In A pleuropneumoniae serotypes 2 and 5, 40 kDa and 47 kDa proteins were found to be the major reactive ones. These results suggested that egg yolk antibodies from immunized hens was specific with antigens injected into hens and partially purified antigens, outer membrane proteins and dermonecrotic toxin, were more effective than bacterin for the production of specific antibody.

난황에 포함된 IgY는 포유동물에 있는 바이러스나 항원에 반응하는 항체와 같은 역할을 한다. 난황을 전처리한 후 3-zone와 4-zone SMB를 이용하여 지질단백질들로 부터 IgY를 분리하는 전산모사연구를 수행하였다. 회분식 크로마토그래피에서 전산모사 매개변수와 흡착 등온식 SMB 전산모사 변수를 얻었다. Aspen simulator를 이용하여 전산모사를 수행하여 IgY를 분리할 수 있는 3-zone과 4-zone SMB 운전조건을 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. IgY와 다른 단백질의 농도와 순도를 모두 고려할 때, 꼭지점인 좌표($m_2$, $m_3$=0.1, 1.1)에서 3-zone SMB가 최적의 조건으로 생각된다. IgY 만을 고려하면 4-zone SMB가 좌표($m_2$, $m_3$=0.06, 0.5)에서 가장 높게 IgY를 분리할 수 있었다. recycle이 없는 3-zone SMB는 꼭지점 좌표에서 좌표이동이 extract의 지질 단백질 농도에 큰 영향을 주었다.

사람 췌장 리파아제는 췌장에서 합성되어 소장으로 분비된 후, 음식물속의 지방을 가수분해하는 소화효소이다. 췌장 리파아제 단백질은 촉매활성도메인과 코리파아제 결합도메인의 2개의 도메인으로 구성되어 있다 본 연구에서는 리파아제 전체단백질과 촉매활성도메인 및 코리파아제 결함도메인 유전자를 PCR 방법으로 증폭하여 발현벡터에 넣은 후, 대장균에서 발현시켜 얻은 3가지 재조합 단백질을 산란계에 3차례 주사하여 면역반응을 유도하였다. 난황단백질을 분리하여 항체가를 측정한 결과, 코리파아제 결합도메인의 항원성이 가장 높은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한, 돼지 췌장 리파아제의 활성저해 실험에서도 코리파아제 결합도메인에 의해 만들어진 난황항체가 지방분해활성 저해작용이 가장 큰 것으로 밝혀졌다. 코리파아제 결합도메인 난황항체가 첨가된 지방을 실험동물에게 급여하고 혈중 주요 성분을 분석한 결과, 코리파아제 결합도메인에 의한 난황항체를 섭취한 경우에 혈중 중성지방의 수치가 대조군에 비해서 유의적으로 감소했음을 화인하였다. 결론적으로 코리파아제 결합도메인을 항원단백질로 사용하여 얻은 난황항체가 생체 내에서 췌장 리파아제의 활성을 억제할 수 있으며 비만억제제로의 개발 가능성이 있음을 보여주었다.
