This study was conducted to investigate the immune response of layers fed diets supplemented with excess micronutrients, i.e., vitamin A, methionine, Zn, Cu, and Fe to the inoculation of Newcastle disease vaccine(NDV) or infectious bronchitis vaccine(IBV). The antibody titer against the NDV increased immediately after the inoculation and stayed high during the next 6 wk. On the other hand, The antibody titer against the IBV increased after 4 wk of inoculation The IgM level increased rapidly after 1 wk of NDV inoculation, however, it decreased after 5 wk of inoculation. The IgA displayed similar pattern to that of IgM in response to NDV inoculation. The pattern of IgM change after IBV inoculation was similar to that when layers were treated with NDV. However, IgA level changed earlier than did IgM. The IgG response to the NDV and IBV was very weak compared to the other immune responses. The excess supplementation of micronutrients to the diets of layers inoculated with NDV elicited favorable antibody titer and immune response compared to the layers fed the control diet. The excess Zn, however, allowed the layers to have higher antibody titer for the 4-wk period after NDV injection: after that they showed no effect of extra-Zn. The immune responses of layers fed excess vitamin A, Cu, methionine, and Fe were markedly higher in IgA and IgG than the control layers. The excess Zn, however, did not bring about any favorable result. No difference was detected in IgG level between control and micronutrients-treated groups.

This study was undertaken to observe the relationship between salivary IgA, IgG, agglutinin titer & dental caries. The subjects divided into two groups, an active caries group (AC group) and caries-free and treated caries group (CFTC group). The AC group consisted of 36 subjects who had one or more carious lesions and the CFTC group of 12 subjects who had no evidence of caries or had filled teeth without present carious teeth for the last six months. The IgA, IgG and IgM levels in their saliva were measured by single radial immunodiffusion method using a disposable low-level immunodiffusion plate. The salivary agglutinin titers to Streptococcus mutans were measured by microtitration system. The results were as follow; 1. The mean value of IgA concentration in saliva of AC group was slightly higher than that of CFTC group, but its difference was slight. 2. The mean value of IgG concentration in saliva of AC group was slightly lower than that of CFTC group. The IgM concentration in saliva of both groups was neither below 1.1 mg/dl nor detected on LC partigen immunodiffusion plate. 3. There was no difference in the agglutinin titer to S. mutans antigen by serotypes, but low level agglutinin to type d was measured in both groups. 4. AC group showed low correlation between IgA, IgG & DMFT, but CFTC group revealed negative correlation. 5. The relationship between salivary IgA & agglutinin titers to S. mutans was low correlation in AC group, but CFTC group showed significant positive correlation. (P<0.05) 6. There were no specific correlations among the concentrations of salivary immunoglobulins, agglutinin titers to S. mutans, and the DMF teeth. They had no close concern to induce the dental caries.

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays an important role in the development of allergic disorders including asthma. Cigarette smoking was reported to elevate serum IgE level and air pollutants such as $NO_{2}$ have been reported to modulate the immune system including inflammation. Moreover, genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) were reported to affect inflammatory diseases including asthma. Therefore, in the present study we tried to investigate whether tobacco smoke or $NO_{2}$ exposure increases the level of IgE and the GST gene polymorphisms are associated with change of IgE level due to tobacco smoke or $NO_{2}$ exposure. We measured urinary cotinine, personal $NO_{2}$ exposure, and serum IgE levels in 300 healthy university students without allergic disorders. Allelic loss of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 and the GSTP1 (lle105Val) polymorphism were determined by PCR and RFLP. Total serum IgE levels were significantly different according to urinary cotinine levels (P=0.046), while $NO_{2}$ passive dosimeter level and genetic polymorphisms of three GSTs were not associated with total IgE level. Moreover, subjects with cotinine $500\;{\mu}g/g$ creatinine or more showed the highest level of total IgE when they had null type of GSTM1, null type of GSTT1, or variant type of GSTP1 (P<0.05). When we considered IgE level according to urinary cotinine levels in strata with the combinations of GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 genetic polymorphisms, the subjects with GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null, and GSTP1 variant types showed the largest difference between IgE levels of subpopulations according to cotinine levels (P=0.030). However, there was no significant difference between IgE levels of subpopulations according to $NO_{2}$ passive dosimeter levels in any group with combinations of GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 polymorphisms. This result suggests that smoking increases allergic response measured as IgE level and combinations of the GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 polymorph isms modify the effect of smoking on serum IgE level.

광섬유 소산파 센서(fiber-optic evanescent wave sensor)를 제작하였다. 클래드층을 제거한 광섬유 코아 표면에 anti-mouse immunoglobulin G(IgG)를 결합시키고, 형광이 표지된 mouse IgG와의 반응을 직접적인 방법과 경쟁적인 방법을 통하여 측정하였다. 직접적인 방법과 경쟁적인 방법 모두 $1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$이하의 mouse IgG를 측정할 수 있는 감도를 얻을 수 있었다. Anti-mouse IgG는 단순 흡착 방법에 의하여 광섬유 코아 표면의 93.9%에 고정되었고 비특이적 결합반응을 제거하기 위하여 실시한 소혈청 알부민(bovine serum albumin : BSA)을 이용한 표면 코팅 효과는 없었다. Mouse IgG에 결합된 fluorescein의 비율이 높을수록 형광 발생량이 많았으나 관계는 직선적이지 않았다. 본 연구에서 제작된 광섬유 소산파 센서는 $1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ 이하의 항원 항체 반응을 소산파 여기에 의한 형광량으로 측정할 수 있어 면역센서로의 응용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

목 적 : 우리나라 성인을 대상으로 홍역 특이 IgG 항체의 혈중 농도를 측정하여 각 연령층의 홍역특이 IgG 항체의 양성들과 항체 역가를 알아봄으로써 우리 나라의 홍역 집단 면역의 실태를 파악하고 궁극적으로 홍역 퇴치를 위한 자료를 제시하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 1997년 6월부터 7월까지 고대 안산 병원 외래 검사실을 방문한 20세 이상의 성인 156명(남 78, 여 78)을 대상으로 혈액을 채취하여 효소결합흡착검사(ELISA)로 홍역 특이 IgG를 측정하였다. 검사는 SIATM Measles IgG kit(Sigma Co. St Louis)를 이용하였으며, 홍역 특이 IgG의 농도는 정해진 방법에 따라 110AU/ml 이상인 경우 항체 양성으로 판정하였다. 결 과 : 1) 홍역 특이 IgG 항체 양성률은 전체적으로 94.9% 였고, 연령 별로는 20대 90.3%, 30대 96.9%, 40대 96.7%, 50대 95.5%, 60대 94.7%, 70대 95.5% 였으며, 연령별 항체 양성률에 있어서 유의한 차이는 없었다. 2) 전체 대상자들의 평균 홍역 항체 역가(평균${\pm}$표준편차, AU/ml)는 전체적으로 $238{\pm}84$이었으며, 연령별로 20대 $251{\pm}117$, 30대 $208{\pm}72$, 40대 $235{\pm}82$, 50대 $268{\pm}76$, 60대 $232{\pm}58$, 70대 $240{\pm}67$ AU/ml 등이었으며, 30대에서 평균 홍역 항체 역가가 다른 연령군에 비해 유의하게 낮았으나, 연령증가와 평균 홍역 항체 역가사이의 상관관계는 없었다. 결 론 : 성인기의 홍역 특이 IgG 양성률은 94.9%였으며, 연자들의 이전의 연구에서 나타난 소아 및 청소년기의 항체 양성률에 비해 성인층에서의 홍역에 대한 집단 연역이 높은 수준임을 보여주었다. 성인중 홍역 항체 음성률이 소아 및 청소년에 비해 낮고 또한 성인층에서 항체 음성인 경우에 대한 대책이 현실적으로 불가능한 만큼 앞으로는 백신 접종세대인 소아 및 청소년기의 홍역 유행의 주요 문제인 일차 백신 실패를 최소화하기 위한 더욱 더 많은 노력이 기울여 져야 할 것이다.

IgA is the predominant immunoglobulin isotype in mucosal secretions(1). It has been reported that a population of Peyer's patch T cells can selectively induce IgM bearing B cells to switch to surface IgA bearing B cells(2,3). Further, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-6 alone and in combination, can significantly influence murine IgA B cell differentiation in vitro(4-7). However, it remains an open question which cytokines have a major role in class switching to the IgA isotype. Recently, it has been reported that transforming growth factor .betha.1(TGF .betha.1) alone, or in combination with IL-2 increases IgA secretion by LPS-activated surface IgA negative (sIgA$\^$-/) murine spleen B cells while concurrently downregulating IgM and IgG secretion by such cells(8-11). In the present study, limiting dilution analysis was used to demonstrate, at the clonal level, that TGF .betha.1 has siginificant activity as an IgA isotype switch factor.

We had examined the levels of specific IgG and IgA to dietary antigens in human breast milk and the relationships between the maternal food intake and the specific antibody level. The highest antibody titers were found in colostrum and decreased as lactation progressed. The specific antibody level was not affected by maternal calorie or protein intake, but affected by the intake frequency of a kind of food. Egg and meat intake significantly related to anti-OVA IgG and anti-BSA IgA antibodies, respectively. Meat intake frequency was generally affected by the other specific antibody levels.

Artemisinin, a new antimalarial to treat patients infected with strains of Plasmodium jalciparum, derived from the plant Artemisia annua Linn, has immunopharmacologic actions such as enhence the PHA -induced lymphocyte transformation rate, increased the weight of spleen but reduced the weight of thymus, reduced phagocytic function of peritoneal macrophage, remarkably reduced the level of serum IgG and hemolysin fonning capacity (sentitized with SRBC), inhibited the activity of Ts cells of donor mice by supraoptimal immunuization(SOI), but enhenced activity of Ts cells of recipient mice by SOI. These results suggested that Ts cells may be the target cells of artemisinin. To the serum complement C3 level of plasmodium berghei-infeted mice, artemisinin (i. m,) could remarkly increase it. The artemisinin also obviously reduced the prostaglandin E(PGE) in the mouse hind paw swelling induced by carrageenin. Numerous studies have demonstrated that pharmacologic doses of PGE attenuate the development of immunocomplex nephritis. Some autologous immune mechanisms may be invoolved In the pathogensis of some types of glomurulonephritis. Glomerular abnormalities can be induced in animals by variety of immunological manipulations. The resulting disorder has many clinical and pathogical similarities to the disease in human. Our purpose was therefore to test the ability of the artemisinin to lessen the severity of rabbit IgG accelerated nephrotoxic serum glomerulonephritis in mice model. Mice which had treated with rabbit IgG and NTS, administrated with saline, showed Significant inceases of urinary protein, cholesterol level, and decrease of serum albumin in NS group. On the contrary, By i.g. adminstration of artemisinin at dose of 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg for 14 days after NTS injection, shown that artemisinin inhibited the nephritic changes in some parameters by means of urinary protein(p<0.05, p<0.01) and serum choleterol(p<0.05, p<0.01) and albumin (p<0.05, p<0.01), blood urea nitrogen (p<0.05, p<0.01), serum albumin(p<0.05, p<0.01); Cyclophosphamide(i.p. 10mg/kg for 14d) had almost same effect as the artemisinin had. Morphological studies shown that The picture of kidney from the mouse with NTS-nephritis accerated with rabbit IgG, treated with i.g. saline as the control, the mesangiocapillary were enlarged and proliferated; There were inflammatory cells infiltrating around the glomeruli; The ethelial cell were proliferated in the wall of Bowman's capsule. Histopatholological picture of kidney from the NTS-nephritis accerated with rabbit IgG mouse treated with i.p. 10mg/kg cyclophosphamide as the positive control. No siginicant histopathological evidence were found. Treaded with i.p. 12.5mg/kg artemisinine, the picture shown that mesangiocapillary were lightly proliferated; There were inflammatory cells infiltrating around the glomeruli; Treaded with i.p. 25mg/kg artemisinine, The picture shown that the mesangiocapillary were lightly proliferated; Treaded with i.p. 50mg/kg artemisinine, The picture shown that both the mesangiocapillary proliferated and the inflammatory cells infiltrating around the glomeruli are less than treated with saline, 12.5 and 25 mg/kg artemisinine. On the basis of these studies we conclude that the artemisinin can relieve pathological change caused by NTS-nephritis aacerated with rabbit IgG.

In order to demonstrate the effect of specific serum IgG antibody on the adherence of Streptococcus mutans to smooth surface and the mechanism of effective adherence inhibition by IgG antibody, in the present study authors obtained purified IgG from different immunogen preparations of S. mutans NCTC 10449(serotype c) and observed the effect of each IgG preparation on the adherence of each S. mutans strain cultured in different conditions. In addition, the present study was undertaken to observe the cross-reactivity of IgG and the effect of sucrose concentration on the adherence of S. mutans in vitro non-growth condition. The adherence of S. mutans to glass surface was effectively inhibited by serum IgG antibody. At the same IgG concentrations, anti-2% fructose grown/1N NaCl washed S. mutans NCTC 10449 cell showed greater adherence inhibitory effect to S. mutans strains than anti-2% sucrose grown and anti-S. mutans NCTC 10449 cell wall, and the greater inhibitory effects of IgG preparations were observed in assay using 2% fructose grown S. mutans cell preparations than using 0.1% sucrose grown cell preparations. These results suggest that the more effective adherence inhibition by serum IgG antibody is due to the reaction with S. mutans cell surface antigens rather than glucan and cell-associated glucosyltransferase. The greatest adherence inhibitory effect of IgG to S. mutans strains was observed on homologous NCTC 10449 strain and the inhibition cross-reactivities were observed between serotype c, e, and f strains. More pronounced cross-reactivity of adherence inhibition of IgG to S. mutans was observed in assay using anti-2% fructose grown/1N NaCl washed cell than using other IgG preparations, and observed in assay using 2% fructose grown S. mutans cell preparations than 0.1% sucrose grown cell preparations. It was interested that low, but adequate concentration of reactive IgG antibody significantly increased the adherence ability of S. mutans. This result may be due to the formation of small cell aggregates resulted in a increase in the numbers of organisms which adhered to glass surface. The adherence of S. mutans to glass surface was possible in the absence of glucan-synthetic activity. Low level of sucrose significantly increased the adherence ability of S. mutans to glass surface, but excessive amount of sucrose induced large cell aggregates resulted in a decrease in the numbers of organism which adhered.
