Multi-cycle chromatographic separation of Iysozyme from egg white was investigated. Multi-cycle chromatography was performed by repeated cycling(one cycle: resin equilibration, sample loading, washing, elution). Two types of cation exchange resins, Cellufine CM C-200 and Bio-rex 70, were used to determine the optimum condition for the separation of Iysozyme by multi-cycle chromatography. The resin was equilibrated in 20 mM Na-phosphate buffer(pH 7.0). Chromatograms of UV absorbance levels of every cycle were compared to confirm the eluting ability of Iysozyme in the two types of gel. Collected samples from eluting regions in every cycle were assayed by 15% SDS-PAGE.

'Heterogeneous' vapor diffusion experiments were carried out using hen egg white Iysozyme and equine serum albumin as model proteins: droplets were equilibrated against reservoir solutiorls containing an alternative precipitant which is different from results showed that the use of polyethylene glycol as an alternative precipitant instead of NaCl or ammonium sulfate reduces equilibration rate between droplet and reservoir solution. By using the heterogeneous vapor diffusion techniqlue it is possible to control the equilibration rate by adjusting the relative amounts of ionic salts and nonionic yecipitants in reservoir solutions.

To investigate the possibility of using alkalophilic Bacillus sp. K-11 as a host for molecular cloning, plasmid pUB110 and pBD64 were introduced into alkalophilic Bacillus sp. K-17 by protoplast transformation system. Protoplasts of Bacillus sp. K-11 were prepared by treatment with 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ Iysozyme in SMM buffer containing 0.4M sucrose. Optimal temperature, pH and culture time for protoplast formation were 4$0^{\circ}C$, 7.0 and 4hrs, respectively. Cell wall was regenerated efficiently on DM3 medium containing 0.8% agar and 0.5M sodium succinate. Under these conditions for protoplast formation and regeneration, the highest transformation efficiency was obtained with cells incubated for 4hrs, and using 30%(V/V) of 40%(W/V) PEG6,000, In characteristics of transfer-mants, plasmid pUB110 was more stable than plasmid pBD64 in Bacillus sp. K-17. Maximum xylanase production of both transformants carrying pUB110 and pBD64, respectively was similar, but under the same conditions, enzyme secretion by transformant carrying pUB110 was earlier than that of transformant carrying pBD64.

Lactobacillus spry. are Gram-positive bacteria playing important roles in human health. In this study, we successfully isolated the total RNA from the cells broken by glass beads using hot phenol method. Moreover, we were able to omit lysozyme and proteinase K treatment by using glass beads to break cell more efficiently. This method was more rapid and simple when compared to the previous one. Prepared RNA can be used for the transcriptional analysis of Lactobacillus spp.

Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique for non-destructive analysis that can be obtained in a wide range of environments. Recently, NIR measurements have been utilized as probe for quantitative analysis in agricultural, industrial, and medical sciences. In addition, it is also possible to make practical application on NIR for molecular structural analysis. In this work, Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) measurements were carried out to utilize extensively in the relative amounts of different secondary structures were employed, such as Iysozyme, concanavalin A, silk fibroin and so on. Several broad NIR bands due to the protein absorption were observed between 4000 and $5000\;^{-1}$. In order to obtain more structural information from these featureless bands, second derivative and Fourier-self-deconvolution procedures were performed. Significant band separation was observed near the feature at $4610\;^{-1}$ ,. Particularly the peak intensity at $4525\;^{-1}$ shows a characteristic change with thermal denaturation of fibroin. The structural information can be also obtained by mid-IR and CD spectral. Correlation of NIR spectra with protein structure is discussed.

BALB/C mice were intraperitoneally injected with methamphetamine (5 mg/kg) to observe the effect of methamphetamine on the immune system. Body weights were decreased in both acutely treated group (twice for 2 weeks with 7 days interval) and subchronically treated group (daily injection for 14 days). The relative spleen weights and the numbers of splenocytes were unexpectedly increased (p<0.05) in acutely treated group, but subchronically treated group showed the trend of decrease without significance. But there was no significant effect on antibody formation to hen egg Iysozyme which was immunized during the treatment of methamphetamine and on plaque forming cell number. The relative thymus weights of both groups were significantly decreased by the treatment of methamphetamine (acutely treated group, p<0.05; subchronically treated group, p<0.01). These results suggest that the effect of methamphetamine on the immune system may be caused by thymic dysfunction.

Effects of stress-induced suppression of humoral immunity on scuticociliate killing activity of olive flounder plasma were investigated. Changes in glucose level. alternative complement activity and Iysozyme activity of plasma by handling stress were analysed in relation to in vitri parasiticidal activity of plasma. The plasma glucose level was about two times higher in fish after a handling stress than in control fish. Plasma lysozyme activity and natural haemolytic activity were decreased in suessed fish.The scuticociliate killing activity of plasma was significantly lower in stressed fish than in non-stressed control fish. The present results indicated that stress-induced immunodepression could be a cause of scuticociliatosis occurrence in olive flounder.
