The Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein B (gB) gene in the pHLA-21 plasmid was inserted into a baculovirus (Hyphantria cunea nuclear polyhedrosis virus) expression vector (lacZ-HcNPV) to construct a recombinant virus gB-HcNPV expressing gB. Spodoptera frugiperda cells infected with this recombinant virus synthesized and processed gB of approximately 120 kDa, which cross-reacted with the monoclonal antibody to gB. The recombinant gB was identified on the membrane of the insect cells using an immunofluorescence assay. Antibodies to this recombinant raised in mice recognize the viral gB and neutralized the infectivity of the HSV-1 in vitro. These results show that the gB gene has the potential to be expressed in insect cells. They also demonstrate that it is possible to produce a mature protein by gene transfer in eukaryotic cells, and indicate the utility of the lacZ-HcNPV-insect cell system for producing and characterizing eukaryotic proteins. Furthermore, the neutralizing antibodies would appear to protect mice against HSV. Accordingly, this particular recombinant protein may be useful in the development of a subunit vaccine.

The effects of the serum total protein and immunoglobulin levels of the colostrumconferred Korean native calves at 2 days of age on the disease incidence during the suckling period were studied. The results obtained were summerized as follows: 1. Serum total protein, total immunoglobulin, IgG, and IgM levels of 6 Korean native claves died from septicemia were lower than those of calves survived (p<0.05). 2. Korean native calves having low serum total protein and immunoglobulins were affected with diarrhea earlier in life, when compared with calves having high serum levels (p<0.05). 3. Korea native calves having low serum total protein were affected with bronchopneumonia earlier in life, when compared with calves having high serum levels (p<0.05). 4. Korean native calves having low serum neutralizing antibody titers to bovine viral diarrhea virus had high incidence rate of BVD, when compared with calves having high serum neutralizing antibody titers (p<0.05).

Recently cases of canine distemper have occurred in Korea despite vaccination was carried out nationwidely. This study was performed to establish rapid diagnosis of canine distemper by RT-PCR, nested PCR, and serological test. A total of 30 dogs, which were suspected canine distemper clinically, was examined. RT-PCR and nested PCR were specific for the amplification of CDV H gene and sensitive to detect 7 TCID50 of Onderstepoort strain. By RT-PCR, H gene was detected in 6(20%) of 30 peripheral bloods from dogs. And H gene was detected in 10(33.3%) of 30 samples by nested PCR. H gene was detected from 1 brain of 6 years-old Beagle dog and 1 lung of 2 months-old Shihtzu dog, in which peripheral blood H gene was not detected. Serum neutralizing antibody titer against Onderstepoort strain ranged from 4 to 1,024 in 30 patients. No correlation was observed between the results of nested PCR and titiers of neutralizing antibody.

Eight monoclonal antibodies(MAbs) against the transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) were produced and characterized. Four of the MAbs were produced against a reference TGEV, Purdue strain(P115) and the others were produced against the Korean vaccine virus, Pyungtaek strain. Only one MAb(5C8) produced against P115 had neutralizing activity and was found to be E2 protein-specific. The other seven MAbs(4E2, 4G8, 5H6, 1F8, 2C6, 5H5, and 3A6) had specificity of nucleocapsid protein and no neutralizing activity. All MAbs reacted with different strains of TGEV, but none of the MAbs was reactive with porcine enteropathogenic viruses such as rotavirus, epidemic diarrhea virus and enterovirus by fluorescence antibody(FA) test.

보툴리눔 신경독소는 콜린성 신경말단(부)을 선택적으로 공격하여 신경마비를 일으키는 신경독소로서, 그람양성을 띠고 내성포자를 형성하는 절대혐기성 세균인 보툴리눔 균(Clostridium botulinum)이 만들어낸다. 이 중 보툴리눔 A형 독소(BoNT/A)는 음식물과 물을 오염시킬 수 있으며 생물 무기나 생물 협박물질로 사용될 수도 있다. 이 때문에 독성을 탐지할 수 있는 예민한 분석방법과 중독을 치료할 수 있는 효능 있는 항독소를 개발해낼 필요성이 제기되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 BoNT/A를 중화할 수 있는 단일클론 항체(mAb)를 생산하기 위하여 BoNT/A로 면역된 토끼의 항혈청에서 유래한 scFv 라이브러리를 인간 IgG와 융합시켰다. 그렇게 재조합된 scFvIgG 항체 단백질을 안정된 세포주에서 발현시켰고 항체 친화 크로마토그래피를 사용하여 scFvIgG mAb 단백질을 정제하였다. ELISA로 정제된 scFvIgG mAb 단백질의 효율성을 확인하였고, in vivo 실험으로 BoNT/A에 대한 중화능을 시험하였다. 독성 중화능 실험은 마우스를 사용하여 수행하였는데, 그 결과 scFvIgG 항체(10 ug)는 BoNT/A(100,000 $LD_{50}$)의 독성이 주입된 마우스를 완전히 방어하지는 못하지만 마우스의 생존 기간을 현격하게 연장시키는 것이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과들은 이 scFvIgG mAb가 BoNT/A를 중화하는 효능을 가지고 있다는 점을 제시한다.

The results from a total of 412 blood samples consisted of 187 samples from regular visiting group (RV), 94 samples from first visiting group (FV), 52 samples from abandoned group (A), 54 samples from special breeder group (SB), and 25 samples from preliminary breeder group (PB) showed that RV(94.7%) and SB(88.9%) groups had the higher levels of protective antibody, but PB (36.0%) group revealed the lowest level. Among 96 blood samples with lower protective antibody levels, 14 samples (14.6%), 72 samples (75.0%) and 10 samples (10.4%) were below the protective antibody levels to distemper/parvo-virus, distemper only and parvovirus only, respectively. These results implied that antibody to parvovirus was well generated than that to distemper. Eighty six samples (20.9%) showed the protective antibody titer under 1:96 to distemper and 24 samples (5.8%), the protective antibody titer under 1:40 to parvovirus.

Hog cholera serum neutralizing antibody of piglets and sows were titrated by means of END SN method. The piglets of a variety of ages, precolostrally immunized with LOM living HC vaccine were subjected to the test. The sows were vaccinated with lapinized living HC vaccine after 25 days from the parturition. Throughout the studies the following results were obtained and summarised. 1. Hog cholera antibody titers of inbred sows immunized with lapinized living HC vaccine after 25 days from parturition were high except Hampshire group(Table 2). 2. Sows, different stage of the pregnancy or the day of parturition, and of 3 way crossed, that were immunized with lapinized living HC vaccine have shown no significant difference on HC antibody titer(Table 2, 3). 3. HC antibody titers of piglets, immunized with a single dose of LOM HC vaccine before feeding colostrum, were high in case of the younger group(1 week) compare to the older(7 week) (Table 4). 4. The piglets that were booster immunized with LOM HC vaccine at the age of 7 weeks have shown an inconsistent antibody titers(Table 5).

Eight monoclonal antibodies(MAbs) against bovine coronavirus(BCV) were produced and characterized. Three MAbs(1G9, 4H12, 5C1) specific to the S glycoprotein and two HE glycoprotein-specific MAbs(2A5, 5G4) were found to neutralize the BCV in fluorescence focus neutralization(FFN) test. Two HE-specific MAbs from the neutralizing MAbs inhibited the hemagglutinating activity of the BCV. None of the N protein-specific MAbs(1C1, 5A12, 6H1) neutralized the virus infectivity. Bovine coronavirus and mouse hepatitis virus, which belong to group II coronaviruses, were differentiated from other groups of coronaviruses(porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, canine coronavirus) by all MAbs in fluorescence antibody test(FA), but not in FFN test.

The VP2 gene of aquatic birnavirus, Korean isolate (GC-1) was cloned and expressed using the baculovirus expression system. The VP2 gene and VP2 partial gene, which contained a neutralizing epitope, were constructed for recombinant transfer vectors, for baculovirus expression. The expressed recombinant proteins were confirmed by indirect immuno fluorescence antibody (IFA), SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The level of expression was checked at regular time using IFA and Western blot. To measure the neutralizing activity of recombinant proteins against GC-1 strain, the antisera against recombinant proteins were produced by using guinea pigs. The result showed that the antisera neutralized the GC-1 strain. However, the neutralizing titer was higher in antisera against the VP2 gene expressed recombinant protein than that of VP2 partial gene recombinant protein.
