Crude 3 M KCI extracts of ovine foetal skin (FLS) were shown to induce serum inhibition of lymphocyte blastogenesis when injected to normal sheep. When fractionated through Sephadex C-150 columns, four protein peaks were obtained, immunosuppressive activity in vitro and in vivo being associated with Peak IV. In discussion, the immunosuppressive activity of FLS is compared with that obtained with extracts of ovine squamous cell carcinoma, and possible identity of the immunosuppressors is suggested.

The antigenic potential of M3S tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$(M3S TNF), which is a mutated form of TNF(TNF mutein) designed to reduce adverse effects of wild type human TNF, was investigated in the present study. The antigenicity of M3S TNF was examined by conducting active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) test in guinea pigs, heterologous(mouse-rat) passive cutaneous anaphylaxis(PCA) test and passive hemagglutination(PHA) test. The experimental animals were divided into low, medium, high and the highest dose groups and the groups with or without immunoadjuvant, sensitized according to the appropriate schedule and challenged. In ASA test, when challenged with 120 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /animal, moderate to severe positive anaphylactic responses were observed in groups sensitized with 12 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /animal, 120 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /animal and 120 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /animal+Freund's complete adjuvant. In PCA test, positive responses were observed in the group sensitized with the highest dose emulsified with an alum(12 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /animal+alum). In PHA test, positive responses were observed in the group sensitized with 3 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /animal emulsified with an alum. All the other groups in each experiment showed negative responses. Based on these results, M3S TNF is considered to have some antigenic potential.

Antigenic potential of genetically engineered human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (CJ-50001) was assessed in guinea pigs and mice. In active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) test, although CJ-50001 at 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /head induced anaphylactic responses, CJ-50001 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /head alone or 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$ / head with adjuvant did not induce anaphylactic responses. In passive systemic anaphylaxis test (PCA) or passive hemagglutination test (PHA), CJ-50001 did not induce positive responses. It is concluded that, in light of the fact that CJ-50001 was antigenic only in ASA but not in PCA or PHA and also that CJ-50001 is a foreign human recombinant protein to guinea pigs, CJ-50001 may not induce systemic allergic react-ion in its clinical use in human.

This experiment shows cellular and humoral immune responses induced by soluble egg antigen of Schistosoma manscni, that is, change of the number of peripheral blood eosinophil, delayed hypersensitivity measured by the degree of ear swelling, granulomatous change of liver tissue and elevation of serum antibody titer by ELISA. SEA was given continuously by the insertion of a minipump into peritoneal cavity of mouse. In control group, same pump with HGG was inserted. New pump was eachansed once In two weeks and followed the result until 9 weeks after mini-pump insertion. 1. Highest peripheral blood eosinophil level was recorded at 2∼3 weeks after SEA punp insertion, 2. MaRirnum ear swelling was observed at 2 weeks arid then decreased gradually. 3. In liver tissue, several granulomas without egg were formed at 4 weeks. 4. Serum antibody titer was eleyated from 4 weeks after SEA pump insertion.

The gene encoding the 33 kDa piroplasm surface protein of Theileria sergenti isolated in Korea was cloned and the nucleotide sequence was determined by dideoxy chaill termination method. The cloned gene corresponds to 869 bps encoding an open reading frame of 283 amino acids. Comparison of the sequence between Korean and .Tapanese isolates showed 99.4% homology rate in the nucleotide sequence and 98.9% homology rate in the amino acid sequence.

The characterization of the MHC of domestic animals may constitute a first step towards increasing the efficiency of food production through improved disease resistance. In order to study the role of the MHC in regulating immune response it is first necessary to identify the different MHC alleles. In this research we try to investigate the possible associations between BoLA of Korean native cattles and infectious cattle disease. For this purpose we used one approach, serology. The results were summarized as follows : 1. Korean native cattle's lymphocyte reacted with alloantisera which recognized seven official BoLA allele. Korean native cattle's lymphocytes were reacted same as European breeds(especially with 673/3(W20)). 2. Korean native cattle's lymphocytes reacted with alloantisera 773/2, 673/3, 638/3, 773/3, 602/2, 639/2 and 639/3 at high reaction frequency. But alloantisera 642/1 was not expressed on Korean native cattle. If this allele, recognized by alloantisera(642/1), officially certificate In BoLA workshop it will be characterization factor of Korean native cattle. 3. According to cellular similarity index, we can presume on genetic relativity which has no family relationship.

미세수술을 이용한 재건외과 분야에서 빈번히 혈관이식이 요구된다. 이러한 경우 자가정맥이 가장 널리 사용되고 있으며 그의 신뢰성도 인정되어 있다. 그러나 정맥 채취에 따르는 부가적인 수술이 요구되며 혈관 공여부에 또다른 결손을 초래한다. 동결건조동종정맥은 이러한 점을 보완하고 자가정맥을 대체할 수 있는 잠재성이 있다. 이에 동결건조동종정맥의 효율성을 알아보고자 2.5cm 길이의 가토대퇴정맥을 $-65^{\circ}C$, 200 mtorr의 음압으로 동결건조시킨 다음 대퇴동맥 결손부에 동종이식하고(n=24), 신선한 가토대퇴정맥 동종이식군(n=24)과 자가정맥이식군(n=24)을 1주 간격으로 4주간 비교 관찰하였다. 2주 개존율은 동결건조동종정맥 이식군, 100%;동종정맥이식군, 50%; 자가정맥이식군, 100%이었으며 4주 개존율은 동결건조동종정맥이식군, 83.3%;동종정맥이식군, 50%;자가정맥이식군, 100%로서 동결건조처치만으로 동종정맥이식의 생존율을 증가시켰다. 미세임파구세포독성검사에서는 동결건조정맥의 항원성이 상당히 낮아져있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 동결건조정맥의 내막세포화가 주사전자현미경 및 광학현미경 소견상 자가정맥보다 지연됨이 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과를 종합해 볼 때 동결건조동종정맥은 아무런 처치를 하지않은 신선 동종정맥보다 현저한 장점이 있었지만, 자가정맥이식을 대신할 수 있는 보다 더 좋은 대체방법이라는 견지에서는 임상 적용이 어려울 것으로 사료되었다.

In this paper addresses the low-level behavior of fuzzy control and the high-level behavior selector for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) based on a Fuzzy Artificial Immune Network. The sensing information that comes from ultrasonic sensors is the antigen it, and stimulates antibodies. There are many possible combinations of actions between action-patterns and external situations. The question is how to handle the situations to decide the proper action. We propose a fuzzy artificial immune network to solve the above problem. and the computer simulation for an AMR action selector shows the usefulness of the proposed action selector.

Bacterial heat shock protein has been one of the components that are responsible to induce autoimmune disease mechanisms in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis due to high level of homology in sequence with human counterpart. This mechanism may explain how bacterial infectious disease, such as periodontal disease, might contribute to the acceleration of the disease process of atherosclerosis. Porphyromonas gingivalis which is a major periodontal pathogenic bacterial species, has been implicated as one of the pathogenic bacteria playing the role in this context. The present study has been performed to evaluate the anti-atherosclerotic effect of adoptive transfer of Porphyromonas gingivalis heat shock protein epitope-specific T cell lines into severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice. Peptide no. 15 with amino acid sequence VKEVASKTND-specific T cell line was selected for the transfer. When experimental atherosclerosis was induced in SCID mice adoptively transferred either by the T cell lines (experimental group) or by non-specific mouse T cells (control group), there was no significant difference in the severity and extent of the atherosclerosis induced by hypercholesterol diet.
