  • A competitive type immunoassay method for 17$\beta$-estradiol(E2) based on the idiotypic anti-idiotypic antibody and time-resolved fluorescence is described. The anti-idiotypic antibody(Ab2) produced to E2 binding site of the primary idiotype antibody (Ab1) was labelled with europium and was allowed to compete with E2 standards or serum sample for the binding sites of Ab1 which was bound to 2nd antibody captured ontothe surface of microtitre plates. Fluorescence measured by time-resolved fluorometer was inversely proportional to the concentration of E2 over the range 5~500pg/well. The sensitivity of the assay was 5pg per well which was compatible with that ofradioimmunoassay using the same Ab1 and 3H-E2 as a tracer. One great advantage of this method described here was to enable antibodies to be labelled instead of haptens, and thus makes it easier to develop sensitive and robust immunoassay systems specially for haptens.

  • When preparing for a blood transfusion, the presence and types of unexpected antibodies should be identified through screening tests. Using the DiaMed-ID system, antibody identification among unexpected antibody screening tests performed at a university hospital in Daejeon area for two years from January 2016 to December 2017 were limited to 55 patients and were predominantly women. A total of 36 patients (65.5%) belonged to the Rh group, 7 (12.7%) patients to the Lewis group, 4 (7.3%) patients to the Kidd and Duffy groups, 3 patients (5.5%) to the MNS group, and 1 (1.8%) to the Rh+Kidd combined group. In the Rh group, 19 (34.5%) patients had Anti-E single antibody, 5 (9.1%) patients had Anti-D single antibody, 4 (7.3%) patients had Anti-E/-c, 4 (7.3%) patients had Anti-C/-e, and 1 (1.8%) patient had $Anti-E/-c/-Jk^b$. In the Lewis group, three (5.5%) patients had both $Anti-Le^a$ and $Anti-Le^b$. In the Kidd group, one (1.8%) patient had $Anti-Jk^a$ and three (5.5%) patients had $Anti-Jk^b$. In the Duffy and MNS groups, only single antibody was found: one (1.8%) patient with $Anti-Fy^a$, three (5.5%) patients with $Anti-Fy^b$, two (3.6%) patients with Anti-M, and one (1.8%) patient with Anti-S. This study reflects the recent frequencies and distributions of unexpected antibodies in Daejeon, which would be helpful for the efficient preparation for transfusions.

  • Cholelithiasis is rarely recognized in children, especially in infants. Hemolytic disorders, long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN), congenital anomalies of the biliary tree leading to stasis of bile flow, congenital IgA-deficiency, furosemide treatment, and prolonged fasting have been reported as predisposing factors for cholelithiasis in childhood. Hemolytic disease of the newborn due to anti-E has rarely been reported as a risk factor for cholelithiasis. We report a case of gallbladder stones in a neonate associated with anti-E antibody hemolytic disease.

  • Achyranthes japonica Nakai (AJN) water extract has a variety of physiological properties, including anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-oxidative activities. In the present study, the inhibitory effects of AJN extract were investigated in high affinity immunoglobulin E receptor ($Fc{\varepsilon}RI$)-mediated KU812F cells activation. AJN extract showed suppressive effects on histamine release and intracellular calcium [$Ca^{2+}$]i elevation from anti$Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ antibody (CRA-1)-stimulated cells in a dose-dependent manner. Flow cytometric analysis showed that AJN extract treatment caused a dose-dependent decrease in the cell surface $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ expression and the binding between the cell surface $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ and the IgE antibody. Moreover, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that levels of the mRNA for the $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ ${\alpha}$ chain was decreased by treatment with AJN extract. These results indicate that AJN extract may exert anti-allergic effects via the inhibition of calcium influx and histamine release, which occurs as a result from the downregulation of the binding of IgE antibody to cell surface $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$. This mechanism may occur through $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ expression inhibition.

  • The effect of aqueous extract of Salvia plebeia R. Br. (Labiatae) (AESP) on immunoglobulin (lgE) antibody mediated allergic reactions in rats was investigated. AESP inhibited passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) when intravenously, intraperitoneally, and orally administered. AESP dose-dependently inhibited histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells activated by anti-DNP IgE antibody. Moreover, AESP had an inhibitory effect on anti-DNP IgE antibody induced $TNF-{\alpha}$ production from RPMC. These results suggest that AESP inhibit the IgE-mediated allergic reaction in rats.

  • Unexpected antibody screening and identification tests are highly important in the prevention of hemolytic transfusion reactions. Therefore, it is highly recommended to perform unexpected antibody screening test in all transfusion candidates. Here, the frequency and distribution of unexpected antibodies identified in Jeju for the past 3 years were evaluated. Between Jan 2014 and Dec 2016, unexpected antibody screening test was performed for 10,360 sera of transfusion candidates in Jeju general hospital using a column agglutination method with the Ortho BioVue system (Ortho-clinical Diagnostics, Raritan, NJ, USA). Eighty-seven (0.84%) of 10,360 cases that underwent unexpected antibiotics screening showed positive results. Among them, unexpected antibodies were identified in 41 cases (0.40%). Unidentified antibodies were detected in 8 cases (19.51%) and autoantibodies were detected in 3 cases (7.32%). The anti-E antibody included in warm antibodies were detected most frequently in 8 cases (19.51%); 6 cases (14.63%) of anti-E + anti-c antibody and 3 cases (7.32%) of $anti-Le^a+anti-Le^b$. $Anti-Le^a$ and $anti-Le^b$ antibodies were detected in 2 cases (4.88%), respectively. The anti-D, $anti-Di^a$, $anti-Fy^b$, $anti-Jk^a$, $anti-Jk^b$, anti-M and anti-P1 were detected in 1 case (2.44%). Complex antibodies were detected in 1 case (2.44%) in anti-C+anti-D and anti-E+anti-c+$anti-Jk^b$, respectively. In this study, we analyzed the frequency and distribution of unexpected antibodies in one general hospital for the past 3 years. However, there has been a general increase in multicultural families and foreign workers in Jeju, and it would be a meaningful study to compare the frequency and distribution of unexpected antibodies.

  • Certain pre-transfusion tests are not commonly performed during emergency blood transfusion. In this study, we reviewed and analyzed the data of post-blood transfusion antibody screening tests to establish the effects of unexpected antibodies causing hemolytic transfusion reactions. We reviewed information published domestically and internationally, and selected the data of 68,602 antibody screening tests and 528 antibody identification tests conducted at P hospital. We found that unexpected antibody positive (1198,1.74%), Rh type (161, 30.49%), Lewis type (67, 12.69%), others (Di (a), 28, 5.30%). The anti-E type positive was 93 (17.61%), and that of the cases with anti-C (13, 2.46%). Only data of domestic cases were included for analysis that were published before 2007, which established the presence of antibodies of the following types and numbers of cases: anti-E (196, 22.45%), anti-Le a (82, 9.39%), and anti-E+C (60, 6.87%). In 2018, anti-E (107, 17.12%), anti-E+Canti-E+C (56, 8.96%), and anti-Di a (28, 4.48%) were detected. In other domestic cases, S hospital was detect to anti-E, anti-Le a, anti-E+C. The Anti-E, anti-D, anti-E+C, and anti-C+E were detected in D hospital. In Saudi Arabia, Anti-D, anti-E, and anti-Jka was detected. The Anti-M, Anti-N, Anti-Le (a), and Anti-D were detected in India. Requests for emergency blood transfusion increased 1.8 times after the opening of the trauma center. This study has the disadvantage of being a cross-sectional study. additional studies are needed to provide basic information on alternative treatments that can increase the safety and reduce the side effects of hemolytic transfusion in emergency transfusion situations.

  • This study was purposed to produce blood typing reagents for classifing Cheju horse's blood group factors. The blood typing reagents were prepared by immunization of sixteen pairs out of fourty eight heads of Cheju horses, and seventeen different blood typing reagents (anti-$A_1$, A', H, Z, $ZZ_2$, C, J, K, $P_1$, Q, R, S, $T_1$, $N_1$, $U_2$, X and $E_2$) were prepared from equine isoimmunization. The result for the reagent production and the variation of agglutinin and hemolysin titer are as follows: 1. Anti-K, R, S, $N_1$, $U_2$ and X acted exclusively as hemolysins whereas anti-J, $P_1$, $T_1$ and $E_2$ acted exclusively as agglutinins, however, Anti-$A_1$, A', H, Z, $ZZ_2$, C and Q reacted both as hemolysins and agglutinins. 2. Among the antibodies in most of the reagents reacted both as hemolysins and agglutinins, But anti-$A_1$, H, Z, $ZZ_2$ and Q elevated higher agglutin titers than hemolysin titers, Anti-A' and anti-C elevated higher hemolysin titers than agglutinin titers. 3. Complex antibody $A_1U_2$ was adsorbed $U_2$ and unified to $A_1$, while complex antibody X $N_1$ went through an adsorption process and produced simple antibody X and $N_1$, respectively. 4. In the hemolytic reaction, anti-K and anti-R showed the highest titer, In the agglutination reaction, anti-Z and anti-$ZZ_2$ showed the highest titer. 5. In the case of No.138~No.140 horse immunization combination and No.133~No.146 horse immunization combination, Although production of complex antibody $CE_2$ and $JP_1$ were expected, only anti-$E_2$ and anti-J were produced respectively. 6. The degree of elevation of antibody titer was varied by the blood types and by the types of donor and recipient combination. The fast elevating types, slow elevating types and types that never elevate the antibody titer were identified.

  • Analysis of protein is often frustrated by the inability to isolate large amounts of purified protein from a native source. To overcome this problem, fusion protein expression systems such as pGEX system have been widely used. Using pGEX system, the desired protein could be easily obtained in a large amount in E. coli, and then the fusion protein could be used for the study of the function of the given protein. To analyze and purify the GST fusion protein, anti-GST antibody could be used as one of the system of choice. However, the production and characterization of monoclonal anti-GST antibody has not been studied extensively yet. To produce monoclonal anti-GST antibody, GST was purified from E. coli transformed with pGEX-cs, one of the pGEX system and was used as an antigen. The monoclonal antibody was produced by fusion of the immunized spleen cells with SP2-0 myeloma cells. The antibody was characterized by ELISA, western blotting, etc. The monoclonal antibody produced in this study (mAb-GSTA) showed strong and specific immunoreactivity against not only GST but also GST-fusion proteins. Also, mAb-GSTA was successfully used for the immunoaffinity purification of the GST ${\beta}$-Rc.-third intracellular-loop fusion protein. The results of the present study suggest that mAb-GSTA may be used for the identification and purification of GST fusion proteins.

  • Anti-lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antibody administration has the potential benefits of neutralizing and consequently controlling rumen-derived LPS during subacute ruminal acidosis. Four Holstein bulls were used in this crossover study with a 2-week wash-out period. Anti-LPS antibody (0 or 4 g) was administered once daily for 14 days. Significantly lower ruminal LPS and higher 1-h mean ruminal pH were identified in the 4 g group. However, blood metabolites, acute-phase proteins, cytokines, and hepatic transcriptomes were not different between the two groups. Therefore, anti-LPS antibody administration mitigated ruminal LPS release and pH depression without accompanying responses in acute-phase inflammation or hepatic transcriptomic expression.
