IgY (egg yolk immunoglobulin) against Helicobacter pylori was produced by immunizing hen with some Helicobacter pylori antigens. H. pylori whole cell, whole cell lysates, partially purified urease and p54 protein, which showed high antigenicity in mice, were used as immunogens. Four hens were immunized with these immunogens three times. IgY was purified from immunized egg yolk with polyethylene glycol (M.W. 8000) and its anti-H. pylori titer was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The anti-H. pylori titer reached peak at 8 weeks and was maintained over 20 weeks. H. pylori cells were agglutinated with these purified IgY and the specificity of these purified IgY was detected with immunoblotting.

To prevent appearance of resistant mosquitoes against $\delta$-endotoxin of bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) in field, a mosquitocidal Bacillus thuringiensis strain 21-2(Bt21-2) producing a new type of $\delta$-endotoxin was isolated. The strain Bt 21-2 belongs to H serotype 43, B. thuringiensis subsp. guiyangiensis (Btg). The $\delta$-endotoxins from the strain Bt 21-2 and the strain Bti were a cuboid shape morphologically, but the $\delta$-endotoxin of the strain Bt 21-2 was composed of 150, 90 and 70kDa proteins on SDS-PAGE, and the antigenicity of $\delta$-endotoxin of the strain Bt 21-2 was different from that of the strain Bti on immunoblot. The $\delta$-endotoxin gene of the strain Bt 21-2 was not amplified with specific primers of $\delta$-endotoxin gene (cry4A and cry4B) of the strain Bti on PCR.

To assess a polential relationship of Korean ginseng to allergic reactions, the effect of Korean ginseng on the total IgE in serum as an allergologic parameter was investigated in humans. Serum total IgE levels were measured in 8 subjects who have been taking ginseng for more than 5 years, 4 subjects of weak constitution, 10 newly hired workers in the ginseng processing industry and 7 normal subjects unexposed to Korean ginseng as control group. Blood samples were taken before and after the exposure to Korean ginseng. Total IgE levels after the exposure to Korean ginseng were not significantly different from those before the exposure within each group. And also, the IgE levels of control subjects were not significantly different compared with those of other groups. These results suggest that the exposure to Korean ginseng dose not affect significantly the IgE immune response of the subjects.

Phellinus linteus was examined on its immunostimulating activities using an in vitro imunization and plaque forming cell assay. When lymphocytes were exposed to the extract of Phellinus linteus, the number of antibody forming cell was increased. In in vitro plaque forming cell assay, the immunostimulating effect was about 4.8 and 5.0 times of unimmunized control in polyconal and T-independent antibody response, respectively. Especially, Phellinus linteus significantly increased the antigenicity of TNP-LPS used as T-independent antigen. But Phellinus linteus did now show a mitogenic effect on B-lymphcytes. These results suggest that immunostimulating activity of Phillinus lintues might be associated with a functional stimulation of B-lympohocyte involved in humoral immune response.

In order to microbially control root-knot nematode(Meloidogyne incognita) in tomato, a strain BtTH109 of Bacillus thuringiensis producing root-knot nematocidal toxin was isolated. The strain BtTH109 was identified B. thuringiensis subsp. indiana(serotype 16) based on flagella antigenicity, biochemical properties, and morphological charcateristics. The strain BtTH109 have extracellularly produced a root-knot nematocidal toxin, which was very toxic against not only egghatch but also the 2nd-nematode larva of root-knot nematode in vitro.

본 연구에서는 병원성 Pasteurella multocida D:4 외막 단백질 H의 방어적 면역성과 백신으로서의 가능성을 검정하고자, 외막 단백질 H 유전자를 대장균에서 발현, Trx와 융합된 형태의 재조합 외막 단백질 H를 분리하여 면역화와 백신 실험에 항원으로 사용하였다. 면역 실험에서 재조합 외막 단백질 H는 높은 역가의 항체를 유도하였으며, 불활화한 사균 백신과 유사한 수준의 백신 효과를 나타내었다.

One strain of mosquitocidal Bacillus thuringiensis, H9B, was isolated from soil. The biochemical characteristics and flagella antigenicity of the strain H9B is similar to that of B. thuringiensis subsp. darmstadiensis. The delta-endotoxin of the strain H9B coincided with that of B. thuringiensis subsp. darmstadiensis strain 73E10-2 on agarose double immunodiffusion test. The delta-endotoxin of B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis contains hemolysin fragment (28 kb) on SDS-PAGE when the delta-endotoxin was solubilized in alkali, while that of the strain H9B does not contain 28 kb protein.

This study was designed to detect and evaluate an antigenicity of low molecular weight proteins of Fasciola hepatica in fascioliasis. Low molecular weight protein of F. hepatica was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and Sephacryl S-100 HR gel filtration. The protein obtained was estimated to be 8 kDa on 7.5-15% gradient sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Immunoblotting studies showed that the 8 kDa protein reacted with human fascioliasis sera, but not other trematodiasis sera. This result suggests that the 8 kDa protein of F. hepatica is one of diagnostic antigens in human fascioliasis without cross-reaction with other human trematodiasis.

To investigate the development of a subunit vaccine against theileriosis in cattle, the DNA fragments encoding piroplasm surface protein (p33) of Theileria sergenti of a Korean isolate were expressed in baculoviruses. The expressed p33 was characterized by indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) and western blotting analysis. The expression of p33 was mainly detected on the surface of infected Sf21 cells by IFA. The immunoblotting analysis revealed the presence of a same molecular weight protein band of p33. The antigenicity of expressed polypeptide was further examined through the inoculation of a guinea pig. The sera of guinea pigs immunized with p33 expressed cell Iysate showed similar fluorescent antibody patterns and reacted with the same molecular weight protein of T. sergenti in immunoblotting analysis, thus indicating that this protein can be a promising candidate for a subunit vaccine in the future.
