Objective: Although pork loins is not a tough meat, they need to develop meat products with a soft texture for the elderly. This study focused on the physicochemical properties and tenderness characteristics of pork loin injected with green kiwifruit juice (GRJ) and gold kiwifruit juice (GOJ) during various incubation times. In addition, the antioxidant activities of hydrolysate derived from the hydrolysis of pork loin by kiwifruit juice protease were evaluated. Methods: The pork loin was injected with 10% and 20% GRJ and GOJ, under various incubation times (0, 4, 8, and 24 h). Then, the physicochemical properties and tenderness of pork loins were measured. 2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity and reducing power were conducted to determine hydrolysate's antioxidant activities derived from pork loin's hydrolysis by kiwifruit juice protease. Results: GRJ had greater tenderizing ability than GOJ, even at the 10% addition. When kiwifruit juice was injected into pork loin, the tenderness increased with increasing incubation time. This was confirmed by the decrease in intensity of the myosin heavy chain (MHC) band in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In particular, the MHC band decreased at 8 h for both 10% GRJ and 20% GOJ and at 4 h for 20% GRJ alone. The highest myofibril fragmentation index and peptide solubility were observed in pork loin treated with 20% GRJ compared to the other treatments during incubation. The 10% GRJ and 20% GOJ treatments showed similar levels of antioxidant activity of the protein hydrolysates in pork loin, and 20% GRJ showed the highest activity among the treatments. Conclusion: Kiwifruit juice had protease activity, and GRJ was more useful for tenderizing meat products than GOJ. Thus, GRJ at 10% could be a potential agent to tenderize and enrich the natural antioxidant activity through the proteolysis of pork loin.

We developed a Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) kit for detecting IgG/IgM antibodies against Zika virus (ZIKV) using monoclonal antibodies to the envelope (E) and non-structural protein 1 (NS1) of ZIKV. These proteins were produced using baculovirus expression vector with Sf9 cells. Monoclonal antibodies J2G7 to NS1 and J5E1 to E protein were selected and conjugated with colloidal gold to produce the Zika IgG/IgM RDT kit (Zika RDT). Comparisons with ELISA, plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT), and PCR were done to investigate the analytical sensitivity of Zika RDT, which resulted in 100% identical results. Sensitivity and specificity of Zika RDT in a field test was determined using positive and negative samples from Brazil and Korea. The diagnostic accuracy of Zika RDT was fairly high; sensitivity and specificity for IgG was 99.0 and 99.3%, respectively, while for IgM it was 96.7 and 98.7%, respectively. Cross reaction with dengue virus was evaluated using anti-Dengue Mixed Titer Performance Panel (PVD201), in which the Zika RDT showed cross-reactions with DENV in 16.7% and 5.6% in IgG and IgM, respectively. Cross reactions were not observed with West Nile, yellow fever, and hepatitis C virus infected sera. Zika RDT kit is very simple to use, rapid to assay, and very sensitive, and highly specific. Therefore, it would serve as a choice of method for point-of-care diagnosis and large scale surveys of ZIKV infection under clinical or field conditions worldwide in endemic areas.

The detection of C-reactive protein(CRP) using self-assembled monolayer(SAM) was investigated by a portable surface plasmon resonance(SPR) sensor system. The CRP is a biomarker for the possible cardiovascular disease. The SAM was formed on gold(Au) surface to anchor the monoclonal antibody of CRP(anti-CRP) for detection of CRP. Sequence injection of the anti-CRP and bovine serum albumin(BSA) into the sensor system has been carried out immobilize the antibody and to prevent non-specific binding. The portable SPR system has two flow channels: one for the sample measurements and the other for the reference. The output SPR signal was increased with the injection of the anti-CRP, BSA and CRP due to binding of the proteins on the sensor chip. The valid output SPR signals was linearly related to the critical range of the CRP concentration. The experimental results showed the feasibility of the portable SPR system with newly developed SAM to diagnose a risk of the future cardiovascular events.

A rapid diagnostic test (RDT) kit was developed to detect non-structural protein 1 (NS1) of yellow fever virus (YFV) using monoclonal antibody. NS1 protein was purified from the cultured YFV and used to immunize mice. Monoclonal antibody to NS1 was selected and conjugated with colloidal gold to produce the YFV NS1 RDT kit. The YFV RDTs were evaluated for sensitivity and specificity using positive and negative samples of monkeys from Brazil and negative human blood samples from Korea. Among monoclonal antibodies, clones 3A11 and 3B7 proved most sensitive, and used for YFV RDT kit. Diagnostic accuracy of YFV RDT was fairly high; Sensitivity was 0.0% and specificity was 100% against Dengue viruses type 2 and 3, Zika, Chikungunya and Mayaro viruses. This YFV RDT kit could be employed as a test of choice for point-of-care diagnosis and large scale surveys of YFV infection under clinical or field conditions in endemic areas and on the globe.

There have been a number of studies of gonadotropes secreting LH and FSH in the adenohypophysis, but the pattern of hormone storage and secretion of these cells still remains a controversial matter. In this study, we examined whether gonadotropes contained both of LH and FSH, and if so, how these hormones were distributed within the secretory granules. Hypophyseal sections of Korean native goat were simultaneously immunostained for LH and FSH antisera by protein A-gold technique. It was found that most gonadotropes contained both FSH and LH, but hormone storages in the secretory granules were some different among cells. Three types of gonadotropes were identified by the shape and size of the secretory granules and their hormone storage patterns. One type(I) of gonadotropes contained oval secretory granules, which immunoreactivity for FSH and LH were very weak. The size of secretory granules ranged from 160 to 310nm in diameter. Most granules contained both FSH and LH, but some contained only one of them. In another type(II) of gonadotropes, the immunreactivity and hormone storage patterns of the secretory granules were similar to those of type I cells. However, the secretory granules were round in shape and larger in size than those of type I. The other gonadotropes(type III) were distinctly distinguished by plenty of hormones in their secretory granules which were densely packed with numerous immunolabelled gold particles. These data are some inconsistent with other results that have been obtained in other ruminants like as cattle and sheep.

Melamine is an organic base and a trimer of cyanamide which contains 66% nitrogen by mass, but it was sometimes illegally added to food products in order to enhance the apparent protein content for the bigger profit. Many Chinese infants and pet animals fed melamine-containing formulas suffered acute kidney failure with renal crystal formation. Fish feeds were also recently found to be contaminated with melamine. This experiment has been designed to determine whether renal crystals can be experimentally induced in crucian carp (Carassius carassius) fed melamine and cyanuric acid (each at 400 mg/kg/day for 3 days) in combination, and to compare experimentally induced crystals with those from pet animals with triazine related renal failure. The results showed that all fish developed gold brown renal crystals arranged in radial spherulites in the renal tubules, similar to those detected in the pet animals.

니티놀(Nitinol) 합금(TiNi)은 혈관 스텐트로서 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 니티놀 합금의 혈액적 합성을 개선시키기 위해서 화학적인 표면개질을 행하였다. 먼저 니티놀의 표면을 금으로 코팅한 다음 시스턴(L-cysteine, C/N)을 화학흡착한 후 신규 합성한 양쪽성 이온 폴리에틸렌글리콜(PEG) (PEG-$N^+-SO_3{^-}$)을 그래프트 시켜서 TiNi-C/N-PEG-N-S를 제조하였다. 양쪽성 이온 PEG가 그래프트된 니티놀의 표면은 ATR-FTIR, ESCA 및 SEM을 통해서 확인하였고 친수성 표면은 물 접촉각의 감소를 통해서 입증하였다. 또한, 단백질 흡착 및 혈소판 점착과 혈액응고시간 측정과 같은 혈액적합성 평가 결과로부터 미처리 니티놀 합금에 비해서 표면개질된 니티놀 합금이 상대적으로 훨씬 우수한 혈액적합성을 나타내었다. 이는 그래프트된 친수성 PEG와 항응혈성 양쪽성 이온의 상승효과에 의해서 혈액적합성을 대폭 개선시킨 것으로 사료된다.

살모넬라는 주요한 식중독균의 하나로 미생물학적 식품품질을 보증하기 위해 신속 정확하게 현장에서 관리되고 모니터링되어야 한다. 본 연구팀에서는 광학 현미경 기반의 이미징 시스템과 바이오센서가 결합된 모니터링 시스템을 개발하였고, 이를 살모넬라에 적용하기 위해서는 바이오센서에 적용되는 생물학적 수용체의 개발이 절대적으로 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 살모넬라에 반응하는 특이적인 anti-Salmonella 다중클론 항체를 토끼로부터 성공적으로 생산 정제하였으며, 최종 항체의 농도는 2 mg/mL로 결정되었다. 또한, 정제된 anti-Salmonella 다중클론 항체의 역가가 상업용 anti-Salmonella 다중클론 항체보다 전 항체 농도 범위에서 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 정제된 항체 특이성 검토를 위해, 정제된 anti-Salmonella 다중클론 항체를 20 종의 살모넬라 serotypes과 20 종의 non-Salmonella strains과 반응시킨 결과, 20 종의 non-Salmonella strains과는 특이성을 보여주지 않은 반면 19 종의 살모넬라 serotypes와 유의적으로 높은 반응성으로 보여 주었다. 최종적으로, anti-Salmonella 다중클론 항체가 고정화된 골드센서를 살모넬라 현탁액에 노출시켰을 때, 수 백여 개의 살모넬라가 센서 표면에 capture되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통해 생산 정제된 anti-Salmonella 다중클론 항체는 새로운 생물학적 수용체로서 충분한 역가와 특이성 그리고 센서에 적용 시 살모넬라와의 높은 결합력을 보여주었으므로 광학현미경 기반 이미징 시스템을 활용한 바이오센서 모니터링 시스템에 새로운 생물학적 수용체로 적용될 수 있으리라 판단된다.
