면역활성을 증진시키기 위하여 수삼의 상황버섯 균사체 고체 배양을 통하여 발효물을 조제하고 조다당획분(WG-PL-CP)을 분획한 후 DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography를 이용하여 3개의 활성 다당획분(WG-PL-CP-II, III와 IV)을 분리하였다. WG-PL-CP-III($100\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도, saline 대조군의 1.98배)는 시료대조군인 WG-CP-III 또는 PL-CP-III(1.60배 또는 1.65배)보다 효과적인 마크로파지 활성을 나타내었고, Peyer's patch를 경유한 장관면역 활성은 WG-PL-CP-IV(1.56배)에서 관찰되었다. 한편, WG-PL-CP-II와 III(2.01배와 1.94배)는 시료대조군인 WG-CP-II와 III(1.73배와 1.66배) 또는 PL-CP-II와 III(1.79배와 1.72배)의 동일획분과 비교하여 유의적으로 증가된 마크로파지 활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 활성 획분 중 다양한 활성을 갖는 다당획분인 WG-PL-III와 IV는 주로 중성당(73.5%와 67.3%)과 산성당(23.2%와 24.6%)을 포함하는 다당류임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 구성당 분석결과, WG-PL-CP-III는 주로 산성당과 Glc, Ara, Gal, Rha와 Xyl의 구성당이 0.81:1.00:0.49:0.42:0.28:0.20의 molar ratio을 보이고 있는 반면, WG-PL-CP-IV는 산성당과 Ara, Rha, Gal, Xyl와 Glc가 1.00:0.75:0.69:0.63:0.42:0.34의 비율로 구성되었음을 나타내었다. 따라서 이러한 활성 다당획분이 수삼의 상황버섯 균사체 고체배양 발효물의 면역활성 증진에 중요하게 관여하고 있는 것으로 생각된다.

Despite wide therapeutic use of CpG ODN against infection, allergy and cancer, the safety and toxicity of CpG ODNs were poorly delineated. Thus, we investigated whether optimal dosing of CpG ODN would affect immunotoxicological parameters in NZB/NZW F1 mice. Comparisons were made among control, non-CpG ODN and mouse CpG ODN ($10{\mu}g$)-treated groups for 4 weeks. To gauge the immunotoxicity of CpG ODNs, we measured nonspecific parameters, degree of lupus nephritis, proteinuria, or autoantibody, and cytokine expression in mRNA level of lymphocytes. We found that there were no significant differences among groups in nonspecific immunotoxicological profiles and in evaluation profiles of glomerulonephritis. However, titer of anti-dsDNA and anti-cardiolipin antibodies in mouse CpG ODN group rose three or eight-fold higher than in control group. Collectively, CpG ODN might be clinically less immunotoxic in terms of clinical profiles in lupus-prone NZB/NZW F1 mice, in spite of high autoantibody titer in CpG ODN treated groups.

Let $RRat_k$ ($CP^n$) denote the space of basepoint-preserving conjugation-equivariant holomorphic maps of degree k from $S^2$ to $CP^n$. A map f ; $S^2 {\to}CP^n$ is said to be full if its image does not lie in any proper projective subspace of $CP^n$. Let $RF_k(CP^n)$ denote the subspace of $RRat_k(CP^n)$ consisting offull maps. In this paper we determine $H{\ast}(RF_k(CP^2); Z/p)$ for all primes p.

As a provirus, polydnavirus has a segmented DNA genome on chromosome(s) of host wasp. It contains several genes in each segment that presumably play critical roles in regulating physiological processes of target insect parasitized by the wasp. A cysteine-rich protein 1 (CRP1) is present in the polydnavirus Cotesia plutellae bracovirus (CpBV) genome, but its expression and physiological function in Plutella xylostella parasitized by the viral host C. plutellae is not known. This CpBV-CRP1 encoding 189 amino acids with a putative signal peptide (20 residues) was persistently expressed in parasitized P. xylostella with gradual decrease at the late parasitization period. Expression of CpBV-CRP1 was tissue-specific in the fat body/epidermis and hemocyte, but not in the gut. Its physiological function was analyzed by inducing transient expression of a CpBV segment containing CpBV-CRP1 and its promoter, which caused significant reduction in hemocyte -spreading and delayed larval development. When the treated larvae were co-injected with double-stranded RNA of CpBV-CRP1, the expression of CpBV-CRP1 disappeared, whereas other genes encoded in the CpBV segment was expressed. These co-injected larvae significantly recovered the hemocyte-spreading capacity and larval development rate. This study reports that CpBV-CRP1 is expressed in P. xylostella parasitized by C. plutellae and its physiological function is to alter the host immune and developmental processes.

Atopy is a highly prevalent and serious health problem. The prevalence and severity of asthma and allergic diseases have increased over recent decades, particularly in industrialized nations. Early life infections may protect against the development of atopy and allergic diseases like asthma. The inverse relationship between the incidence of atopy and childhood infections has led to the 'hygiene hypothesis', which suggests that diminished exposure to childhood infections in modern society has led to decreased Th1-type responses. Th1 and Th2 responses are counter-regulatory. Reduced Th1 may lead to enhanced Th2-type inflammation, which is important in promoting asthma and allergic disease via up-regulation of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13. It is now widely accepted that altered regulation of Th2 responses(and possibly the balance between Th1 and Th2 responses) is an important factor in the development of atopy. CpG DNA represent a novel class of drugs with substantial immunomodulatory properties. CpG DNA contain unmethylated motifs centered on the CpG dinucleotides, like bacterial DNA. These CpG DNA promote Th1 and regulatory type immune responses and suppress Th2 responses. In murine studies, CpG DNA are effective in prevention and treatment of asthma and allergic diseases. CpG DNA are just beginning to be tested in human asthma. While its precise mechanisms continue to be fully studied, CpG DNA offers considerable promise as a novel treatment for atopic inflammation. It may prove to be an important disease modifying therapy, or even curative therapeutic agent for asthma and allergic diseases.

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different dietary crude protein (CP) levels on growth performance, nutrient utilization, small intestine protease activity and immunity index of weaner to 2 month-old New Zealand rabbits. Eighty weaner rabbits were allocated in individual cages to five treatments in which they were fed diets with CP at 14%, 16%, 18%, 20% and 22%, respectively. The growth performance and nutrient digestibility of rabbits increased firstly when dietary CP increased, then decreased. The average daily gain was the highest and feed conversion rate was the lowest when dietary CP reached 20%, namely 34.9 g/d and 2.74:1, respectively. Maximum CP digestibility was 72.1% in the 18% CP group, maximum crude fiber digestibility of 28.4% occurred in the 16% CP group and was significantly different from other treatments (p<0.01), apparent digestibility of Lys and Val followed the same trend as CP digestibility, and reached their maximum when dietary CP was 18%. Apparent digestibility of Cys, Tyr, Leu and Thr also had a similar trend to CP digestibility. Nitrogen retention (RN) increased with CP level (p>0.05), and was highest for 20% CP treatment (1.5 g/d). The effect of CP level on the rate of digestible nitrogen (DN) converted RN was small. The spleen index, thymus index, chymotrypsin and trypsin activities in small intestine were highest when dietary CP was 16%, which were 1.0, 2.8, 15.7 U/g and 125.7 U/g, respectively. There was no significant difference among treatments (p>0.05). According to the above results, the appropriate dietary CP level from weaner to 2 month-old meat rabbits was 18-20%.

Immune cells express toll-like receptors (TLRs) and respond to molecular patterns of various pathogens. CpG motif in bacterial DNA activates innate and acquired immune systems through binding to TLR9 of immune cells. Several studies reported that CpG can directly regulate B cell activation, differentiation, and Ig production. However, the role of CpG in B cell growth and Ig production is not fully understood. In this study, we analyzed the effect of CpG on the kinetics of mouse B cell viability, proliferation, and Igs production. Overall, CpG enhanced mouse B cell growth and production of Igs in a dose-dependent manner. Unlike LPS, 100 nM CpG (high dose) did not support TGF-${\beta}1$-induced IgA and IgG2b production. Moreover, 100 nM CpG treatment abrogated either LPS-induced IgM or LPS/TGF-${\beta}1$-induced IgA and IgG2b production, although B cell growth was enhanced by CpG under the same culture conditions. We subsequently found that 10 nM CpG (low dose) is sufficient for B cell growth. Again, 10 nM CpG did not support TGF-${\beta}1$-induced IgA production but, interestingly enough, supported RA-induced IgA production. Further, 10 nM CpG, unlike 100 nM, neither abrogated the LPS/TGF-${\beta}1$- nor the LPS/RA-induced IgA production. Taken together, these results suggest that dose of CpG is critical in B cell growth and Igs production and the optimal dose of CpG cooperates with LPS in B cell activation and differentiation toward Igs production.

In the course of novel TLR (Toll like receptor) 9 ligand, we found novel CpG ODN (Oligodeoxynucleotide) was active in augmenting antibody in mice. However, immune mechanism of new CpG ODNs is unclear. To clarify this, we examined immunoadjuvanticity by employing in vitro and in vivo immune profiles. In brief, in vitro treatment of novel CpG ODN upregulated the expression of TNF-$\alpha$, IL-6, and IL-12 mRNA in macrophages as well as that of IFN-$gamma$ mPNA in mouse splenocytes. In parallel, in vivo injection of novel CpG ODN directly activates macrophages and splenocytess, consequently upregulating MHC class II and CD86. Finally, we demonstrated anti-HBs antibody augmentation of novel CpG ODN. Collectively, this data indicates that novel CpG ODN is immunoadjuvant armed with Th1 typed immune machinery.
