This study has been undertaken to examine the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of electric organ from korean electtric ray(Narke japonica). Korean electric ray was caughted at Chungmu sea and transported to the laboratory, where electric organs were removed and stored at $-70^{\circ}C$ until used. Acelycholinesterase(AChE) of electric organ was purified by affinity column that was prepared with dicaproyl-methylpyridinium linked to Sepharose 4B. Upon purification, the specific activities in Ellman unit were increased by 52 and 39 times for high salt soluble AChE (HSSE, 870.86 $\DeltaOD/min/geam$ of tissue) and detergent soluble AChE(DSE, 105.42 .$\DeltaOD/min/geam$ of tissue), respectively. Each subunit of AChE separated by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE)was transferred to immonilon P by western boltting and detected by mAbs raised against each subunit of AChE from electric organ og Torpedo califomica. Collagenic tails of AChE from Torpedo califomica, likewise 103Kd protein of AChE from Narke japonica was detected by monoclonal antibody specific to 103Kd of AChE from Torpedo califomica. However, molar ratio of three subunits of AChE from Narke japonica is different from that of Torpedo calicormica. Furthermore, catalytic subunit of AChE from Narke japonica was not identified by monoclnal antibody specific to catalytic subunit of AChE from Torpedo californica. These results showed differences in molecular structure of AChE from Narke japonica and AChE from Torpedo califormica eventhough they showed same enzymatic activities.

인간을 비롯하여 여러 동물의 생식기와 구강. 안구 점막에 수포성, 괴양성 병변을 일으키는 Herpes simplex 2형 바이러스(HSV-2)에 대한 단클론항체를 하이브리도마 기술을 이용해 생사하였다. 생산된 단클론항체 C-2는 western blotting에서 134, 86 그리고 43 kDa의 분자량을 갖는 항원을 인식하였다. C-2의 isotype은 IgM이었다. SDS-PAGE를 이용하여 HSV-2에 감염되어 원형의 다핵 거세포를 형성한 vero 세포주를 인식하였으며, 이는 HSV-2 항원이 숙주세포에서 발현되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이 결과는 HSV-2 백신개발의 목표항원이 되는 항원검출과 HSV-2 감염 진단법 개발에 기초가 될 수 있을 것이다.

Pig organ is thought to be the most suitable nonhuman organ for xenotransplanstation. However, one of the major constraints to using pig organs for xenotransplantation is human natural antibody-mediated hyperacute rejection (HAR). Elimination of a(1,3) galactosyltransferase (GGTA1) from the pig is expected to be a solution to the problem of hyperacute rejection. Many efforts have made characterization of GGTA1 in structure and function, improvement in the technique of DNA transfection of somatic cells and advancement of the pig NT, a specific modification has been made to one copy of the GGTAl gene by Missouri group in 2002 To date because homozygousity of the genetic modification has been achieved in this gene, the role of gala(1,3) gal specific natural antibody in HAR and the efficacy of xenotransplantation in a nonhuman primate model will be addressed. Of other genes are found to be involved in rejection of pig donors by primates, the technology will be available to modify those genes so that rejection can be overcome.

Thyroglobulin과 반응하는 monoclonal antibody를 3클론(TN-1, TN-2 및 TN-3)을 확립하였다. 이들 중 1클론 (TN-2)은 thyroglobulin의 3차원적인 구조를 인식하면서 음전하를 띠는 자가항원의 일종인 phosphatidylserine과도 교차반응성을 나타내었다. 따라서 TN-2를 이용한 자가면역성 갑상선염의 진단 및 치료에의 적용효과가 기대된다.

We have developed four chicken hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies to induce a protective immune response against the chicken disease avian coccidiosis, caused by the intestinal parasite Eimeria acervulina. Huwever, since the amount of antibodies secreted from these hybridomas is too low or sometimes they lost their ability to produce antibodies, the hybridoma method is not satisfactory in the production of large amounts of chicken monoclonal antibodies. To bypass these problems, we applied the antibody engineering technology using polymerase chain reaction. We cloned and determined the sequences of variable domains of the four chicken monoclonal antibodies, namely, 2-1, 5D11, 13C8 and 8C3. The sequences comparison to germline sequences skewed that the gene con version mechanism might contribute to developing diversification of heavy and λ-light chains in chicken antibodies. Several pseudogene families regarded as donors in gene conversion were identified at each framework region and the complementarily determining region of λ-light chains. In addition, as expected, numerous changes of nucleotide sequences such as nucleotide substitution, insertion and deletion were found predominantly in complementarity determining regions, which are likely to be somatic hypermutations as a result of affinity maturation in antibody-producing cells.

The objective of this research was to provide the characterization and method for producing anti-E. coli O157:H7 antibodies in egg-laying hens and to determine if the antibody can restrain the proliferation of E. coli O157:H7 in-vitro. Selected antigenic fractions (whole cell, outer membrane protein and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)) from E. coli O157:H7 were injected to hens in order to produce anti-E. coli O157:H7 antibodies. The immune response and the egg yolk antibodies of laying hens against the whole cell, outer membrane protein and LPS antigens were monitored by ELISA. The level of antibodies against whole cell antigen monitored through ELISA sharply increased after the initial immunization, and it was found to be maximum on day 49 however, the level was maintained up to day 70. Antibodies (5 mg/ml) directed against the whole cell inhibited E. coli proliferation 10-13 times more than outer membrane protein or LPS. The antibody response against the whole cell antigens appeared to have higher activity in restraining the proliferation of E. coli O157:H7 than antibody against outer membrane protein or LPS. Results reflected that increasing the IgY's in the egg yolk could prevent greater economic losses due to human and animal health from pathogenic bacteria i.e. E. coli O157:H7.

Recently, specific antibodies have been used extensively to diagnose and treat various diseases. It is essential to assess the efficacy and specificity of antibodies, especially the in vivo environment. Anti-HER-2/neu mAb was evaluated as a possible transporting agent for radioimmunotherapy. The monoclonal antibody was successfully radio-labeled with $^{131}I$. In vitro binding assays were performed to confirm its targeting ability using another radio-iodine, $^{125}I$. Binding percentage of $^{125}I$ labeled anti-HER-2/neu mAb in HER-2/neu expressing CT-26 cells was found to be 4.5%, whereas the binding percentage of $^{125}I$ labeled anti-HER-2/neu mAb in wild-type CT-26 was only 0.45%. In vivo images were obtained and analyzed through $\gamma$-camera and an optical fluorescent modality, IVIS-200. $\gamma$-camera images showed that $^{131}I$ labeled anti-HER-2/neu mAb accumulated in HER-2/neu CT-26 tumors. Optical imaging based on near infrared fluorescence labeled anti-HER-2/neu mAb showed higher fluorescence intensities in HER-2/neu CT-26 tumors than in wild-type CT-26 tumors. Anti-HER-2/neu mAb was found to specifically bind to its receptor expressing tumor. Our study demonstrates that in vivo imaging technique is a useful method for the evaluation of an antibody's therapeutic and diagnostic potentials.

사람 선유아세포 인터페론의 정제에 사용되는 단 clone성 항체생산 세포주를 조작하기 위하여 BA-LB/C mouse의 복강과 꼬리정맥을 통하여 HuIFN-$\beta$를 면역화시키고 그 비장세포(spleen cells) 와 NS-O 세포주를 세포융합 시켰다. 융합된 1300 hybrids를 ELISA방법으로 선별하고 soft agarose 방법과 limiting dilution방법으로 subcloning하여 높은 항체를 생성하는 것으로 판명된 11 hybrids를 재선별 하였다. 재선별된 11 hybrids 각각의 항체형 (Ig type)을 조사하고 최종 Protein A-sepharose와 친화성이 높은 IgG 2a/형의 clone # 4-1-19와 clone # 551-4-1을 선별하여 배양된 세포를 각각 nude(nu/nu) mouse 및 BALB/c mouse 복강에 접종배양 하였다. 이들 mouse복강액으로 부터 얻은 ascites fluid를 protein A-sepharose를 이용한 affinity column분획으로 항체를 정제하였으며 ascites fluid $m{\ell}$당 약 4mg의 정제된 항체를 얻을 수 있었고 SDS-polyacrylamide gel상에서 전기영동 시킨 결과 분자량 14-16만 dalton으로 추정되는 항체를 확인할 수 있었다.

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) uses the spike (S) glycoprotein to recognize and enter target cells. In this study, we selected two epitope peptide sequences within the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the MERS-CoV S protein. We used a complex consisting of the epitope peptide of the MERS-CoV S protein and CpG-DNA encapsulated in liposome complex to immunize mice, and produced the monoclonal antibodies 506-2G10G5 and 492-1G10E4E2. The western blotting data showed that both monoclonal antibodies detected the S protein and immunoprecipitated the native form of the S protein. Indirect immunofluorescence and confocal analysis suggested strong reactivity of the antibodies towards the S protein of MERS-CoV virus infected Vero cells. Furthermore, the 506-2G10G5 monoclonal antibody significantly reduced plaque formation in MERS-CoV infected Vero cells compared to normal mouse IgG and 492-1G10E4E2. Thus, we successfully produced a monoclonal antibody directed against the RBD domain of the S protein which could be used in the development of diagnostics and therapeutic applications in the future.
