These experiments were carried out to investigate of the molecular characteristics of porcine zona pellucidae and to examine the reactivity of anti-zona antibody by SDS-PAGE, Immunoblotting and Immunoprecipitation. The results obtained in these experiments were summarized as follows : 1. The result obtained by SDS-PAGE of porcine zona pellucidae indicated that it composed of several units with molecular weight ranging 55,000-110,000. 2. In order to see the reactivity of antibodies to zona pellucidas, immunoblotting was applied. The results indicated that polyclonal antibodies to porcine and mouse zona reacted with porcine zona. While monoclonal antibody to porcine did not react with the procine zona enough to show a clear band on a gel. 3. Labelling of porcine zonae with 125I was performed using the Iodogen method, the radioactivity and the percent incorporation of 125I into porcine zonae were approximately 26,000 cpm/10${mu}ell$ and 16, respectively. 4. Measurements of radioactivity and O.D value for Immunoprecipitates produced by reaction of 125I-porcine zona with anti-zona antisera were confirmed that existence of reactivity of monoclonal antibody to porcine zona although its reactivity was lower than that of polyclonal antibodies, and reconfirmed that cross-reactivity of polyclonal antibody of mouse zona with porcine zona.

The genomic region of Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) encoding the movement protein (MP) was cloned into pET21a and transformed into Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3) to express the protein. Induction was made with a wide range of isopropyl-${\beta}$-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) concentrations (1, 1.5, and 2 mM) each for duration of 4, 6, or 16 h. However, the highest expression level was achieved with 1 mM IPTG for 4 h. Identity of the expressed protein was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) followed by Western blotting. The expressed 41 kDa protein was purified under denaturing condition by affinity chromatography, reconfirmed by Western blotting and plate-trapped antigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (PTA-ELISA) before being used as a recombinant antigen to raise polyclonal antibodies in rabbits. Purified anti-GFLV MP immunoglobulines (IgGs) and conjugated IgGs detected the expressed MP and GFLV virions in infected grapevines when used in PTA-ELISA, double antibody sandwich-ELISA, and Western blotting. This is the first report on the production of anti-GFLV MP polyclonal antibodies and application for the virus detection.

We have previously reported that SPP2 gene product of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is involved in the pre-mRNA splicing. To investigate the rol ein the splicing pathway of the Spp2p protein, the SPP2 gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and polyclonal antibodies to Spp2p were generated from rabbits. First, a DNA fragment containing the SPP2 GENE without its promoter was subcloned into an E. coli expression vector, pKK233-3. The resulting recombinant plasmid pBQ14 contained an IPTG inducible tac promoter and the SPP2 structural gene. Overexpression of the SPP2 gene was achieved by additionof 0.1 to 1.0 mM IPTG to a logarithmic culture of E. coli JM103(pBQ14) for 90 min at 37.deg.C. Sequence of N-terminal 15 amino acids of the overproduced protein was well matched to the deduced one from the SPP2 reading frame. Then, polyclonal antibodies were generated from rabbits immunized with gel-purified SppSp protein. These antibodies reacted specifically with the Spp2p protein extracted from yeast cells expressing the SPP2 gene to a great extent. The antibodies could also block the activity of yeast splicing extracts.

선천성 면역은 숙주의 물리적 방어벽을 뚫고 침입하는 감염성 질병 원인균에 대항하는 첫 번째 방어로서 아주 중요한 역할을 한다. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL 또는 mannan-binding protein, MBP)은 혈청 내에 존재하는 면역성 단백질로서 감염 후 즉시 유발되는 acute phase response의 특정 단백질이다. MBL 단백질은 세균, 바이러스, 곰팡이, 기생충 등의 탄수화합물 구조에 결합하여 식균 작용을 돕거나 보체경로를 활성화 시킨다. MBL 단백질은 C-말단이 탄수화물을 인식하는 도메인이며, 연결 목 부위와 콜라겐 부위로 구성되어 있다. 혈청 내의 MBL 농도가 낮으면 높은 빈도로 면역결핍현상이 관찰된다고 알려져 있다. MBL 단백질의 기능과 유전에 대해 많은 연구가 되어져 왔으나 아직 MBL 단백질 복합체 등에 대한 연구는 많이 이루어져 있지 않다. 따라서 MBL 연구에 필수적인 MBL cDNA 제조와 재조합 단백질의 합성, 그리고 재조합 단백질을 항원으로 사용하여 polyclonal antibody를 생산한 연구 결과를 보고하는 바이다. 본 연구결과로 획득한 MBL cDNA, 재조합 단백질과 anti-MBL 항체는 앞으로의 MBL 연구에 절대적으로 필요한 도구가 될 것으로 생각된다.

Rapid immunochromatographic assay (ICA) kits were developed using flagella-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) and rabbit polyclonal antibodies for screening Listeria spp. in food. The establishment of different formats, MAb 2B1 as capture antibody and MAb 7A3 or rabbit polyclonal antibodies as detector antibody, was compared. The 2 formats of the ICA kit were shown to have specific reactions with Listeria and no cross-reactivity with any of the non-Listeria including Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enteritidis. The detection limits of the ICA kit using the combination of gold-labeled MAb 7A3 and MAb 2B1 showed $1{\times}10^5$ and $1{\times}10^6\;CFU/0.1\;mL$ at 22 and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. The other format of the ICA kit using the combination of gold-labeled rabbit polyclonal antibodies and MAb 2B1 showed $1{\times}10^6\;CFU/0.1\;mL$ at $22^{\circ}C$ but weak signal at 30 culture. The format utilizing MAb was more sensitive than the one using polyclonal antibodies for capture antibody. Samples contaminated with L. monocytogenes 4b culture (9-10, 5-6, and 1-2 CFU/mL) on pork and pasteurized milk were confirmed as positive results. Current data suggests that this ICA kit is a rapid, simple and effective tool to screen for Listeria spp. in food.

다클론항체를 이용하여 환경 시료중 유기인계 살충제 acephate를 분석할 수 있는 경합적 간접효소면역측정법(competitive indirect ELISA)을 개발하기 위하여 분석물과 화학구조가 유사하며 hexanoic acid를 지닌 3종의 hapten을 합성하였다. 이들 hapten을 active ester 방법으로 담체단백질인 keyhole limpet hemocyanin과 접합시켜 면역원으로 사용하있고, bovine serum albumin과 접합시켜 homologous 혹은 heterologous ELISA를 위한 코팅항원으로 사용하였다. 생산된 항체들과 코팅항원을 최종선발하여 acephate 잔류분석을 위한 ELISA를 위하여 최적화하였다. 단백질의 농도가 $1{\mu}g/mL$인 코팅항원 (hapten-3-BSA)과 다클론항체 #8377를 16000배로 희석한 heterologous ELISA에서 최적화된 acephate의 $IC_{50}$ 값은 110 ng/mL이었고, 분석범위와 최소검출한계는 각각 $10{\sim}1000$과 4 ng/mL 이었다. Acephate의 주분해산물이고 살충제로 사용되는 methamidophos을 위시한 몇몇 유기인계 살충제의 항체에 대한 교차반응은 모두 0.02%이하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 본 ELISA가 농산물 및 환경시료중의 acephate 잔류분석을 위하여 편리한 방법이 될 수 있음을 시사한다.

The detection of carbamate (carbofuran, carbaryl, benfracarb, thiodicarb, and methomil) and organophosphate (diazinon, cadusafos, ethoprofos, parathion-methyl, and chlorpyrifos) pesticide residues with very low detection limits was carried out using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based equipment. The capacity to develop a portable SPR biosensor for food safety was also investigated. The applied ligand for the immunoassays was polyclonal goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin (IgG) peroxidase conjugate. Concentration tests using direct binding assays showed the possibility of quantitative analysis. For ligand fishing to find a proper antibody to respond to each pesticide, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) were tested. The reproducibility and precision of SPR measurements were evaluated. With this approach, the limit of detection for pesticide residues was 1 ng/mL and analysis took less than 11 min. Thus, it was demonstrated that detecting multi-class pesticide residues using SPR and IgG antibodies provides enough sensitivity and speed for use in portable SPR biosensors.

Helicobacter pylori is the etiologic agent of human gastritis and peptic ulceration and produces urease as the major protein component on its surface. H. pylori urease is known to serve as a major virulence factor and in a potent immunogen. In order to express the recombinant urease at a higher level, a DNA fragment containing the minimal H. pylori urease gene cluster was subcloned into a high copy-number vector. The recombinant H. pylori urease expressed in an E. coli strain that was grown in a rich medium supplemented with added nickel was purified to near homogeneity by using DEAE-Sepharose, Superdex HR200, and Mono-Q (FPLC) columns and the purified enzyme possessed the specific activity of 1255 U/mg. Polyclonal antibodies raised against the purified recombinant H. pylori urease were shown to be very specific when subjected to Western blot analysis, in which crude extracts from the H. pylori ATCC strain and the recombinant E. coli strains expressing various bacterial ureases were exnmined for cross-reactivity.

Polyclonal antibody of the boar sperminogen was used to characterize the boar sperm proteinase sperminogen. Boar sperminogen was purified from the acid extracts of the washed epididymal spermatozoa by gel filtration through a Sephadex G-100 column. followed by preparative SDS-PAGE. The sperminogen band was sliced out and was eluted from the gel matrix. The purified sperminogen was used to produce the polyclonal antibody of the boar sperminogen. When characterized on a Western blot, the final preparation of sperminogen appeared as a homogenous protein with a molecular weight of 32 kDa. The relative migration of sperminogen was distinctly different from the major components of the proacrosin-acrosin system as well as all the observable proacrosin activation by-products detected on the Western blot. The sperminogen antibody, however. cross-reacted with the proacrosin-acrosin system.
