  • 목적 : Henoch-$Sch{\ddot{o}}nlein$ 자반증에서 항인지질 항체에 대한 연구가 외국에서 몇몇 보고되고 있지만 국내에서는 소아 환자를 대상으로 한 연구가 거의 없는 실정이며 또한 항인지질 항체가 양성인 그룹과 음성인 그룹을 비교하여 연구한 논문은 아직 없는 상태이다. 따라서 한국 소아 Henoch-$Sch{\ddot{o}}nlein$ 자반증에서 항인지질 항체가 양성인 환아의 항인지질 항체의 임상적 의의를 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 2007년 1월부터 2009년 6월까지 신촌 세브란스 병원 소아청소년과에 내원하여 Henoch-$Sch{\ddot{o}}nlein$ 자반증으로 진단받은 62명의 환아를 대상으로 의무기록을 후향적으로 조사하여 분석하였다. 환아의 일반적인 특징으로 성별, 나이, 복통, 관절통과 자반증 등의 임상 증상을 조사하였고, 검사 소견으로는 백혈구수, 혈색소, 혈소판수, 호산구수, C-반응 단백, 혈침 속도, 단백뇨, 대변 잠혈 검사, 혈청 면역 글로불린(IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE), 혈청 보체(C3, C4), 항핵 항체(ANA), 알부민과 항인지질 항체(루프스 항응고인자, 항카디오리핀 항체, 항${\beta}$ 2GPI 항체) 등을 조사하였다. 결과 : 총 62명의 환아중 남녀 각각 31명이었고 평균 연령은 $6.0{\pm}3.1$세(범위: 1-16세)였다. 루프스 항응고인자 양성인 그룹과 음성인 그룹으로 나누어 비교한 결과 복통, 자반증, 관절통, 신염 등의 임상 증세에서는 두 그룹 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없는 걸로 나타났으나 검사 소견을 비교하였을 때 양성인 그룹에서 C-반응 단백($4.3{\pm}7.2$ mg/dL vs. $1.3{\pm}1.8$ mg/dL, P=0.035), 혈침 속도($37.5{\pm}26.2 mm/hr vs. $25.1{\pm}22.6$ mm/hr, P=0.039), IgM ($148.1{\pm}48.4$ mg/dL vs. $114.9{\pm}41.5$ mg/dL, P=0.024), C3 ($143.1{\pm}21.9$ mg/dL vs. $129.7{\pm}24.5$ mg/dL, P=0.048), C4 ($30.9{\pm}6.3$ mg/dL vs. $24.9{\pm}7.8$ mg/dL, P=0.002)가 통계학적으로 유의하게 높았다. 결론 : Henoch-$Sch{\ddot{o}}nlein$ 자반증에서 루프스 항응고인자는 29%에서 양성 소견을 보였으며 양성인 그룹에서 염증 인자인 C-반응단백, 혈침 속도 그리고 IgM, C3, C4 수치가 유의하게 높게 측정되었다. 이것은 루프스 항응고인자가 Henoch-$Sch{\ddot{o}}nlein$ 자반증에서 질병의 활성과 병인에 어떤 역할을 수행함을 암시한다고 볼 수 있다.

  • The purpose of the present study was to produce and characterize a monoclonal antibody against human ${\beta}_2$-adrenergic receptor. Male BALB/c mice were immunized with glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein of the C-terminal portion of the human ${\beta}_2$-adrenergic receptor which was expressed in E.Coli. The immunized splenocytes were fused with myeloma SP2/0-Agl4 cells. The resulting hybridomas were screened for the production of a monoclonal antibody which can recognize human ${\beta}_2$-adrenergic receptor, and then subcloned by limiting dilution. The resulting monoclonal antibody was named as mAb$\beta$CO2. The mono-clonal antibody $\beta$CO2 was determined as IgM subtype and then purified by anti-mouse IgM-agarose affinity chromatography. The results of ELISA, Western blot, and immunocytochemistry showed that mAb$\beta$CO2 recognized human ${\beta}_2$-adrenergic receptor in the ${\beta}_2$-adrenergic receptor-GST fusion protein and human spider-moid carcinoma cell line A431 with highly specific immunoreactivity, The monoclonal antibody $\beta$CO2 may provide useful tools for the study of the $\beta$-adrenergic receptor of human and other species including rats.

  • Among the various receptor molecules discovered so far the ${\beta}$2-adrenergic receptors have been regarded as excellent model systems for the so called 7 transmembrane helix receptor and have been the focus of extensive studies. For the analysis of receptor structure and function a monoclonal antibody plays a crucial role, thus providing useful tools for the study of receptor. However, because of the minute quantity of receptor molecules which could be obtained from natural sources, the generation of specific monoclonal antibody against receptor molecules from the purified receptors has been regarded as virtually impractical in consideration of cost and experimental times. The purpose of the present study was to generate and characterize a monoclonal antibody against human ${\beta}$2-adrenergic receptor. For the production of antibody, C-terminal regions of the human ${\beta}$2-adrenergic receptor was produced as a fusion protein with Glutathion S-transferase (GST) in E. Coli. The expression of the fusion protein was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot using monoclonal anti-GST antibody. The fusion protein was purified to an apparent homogeniety by affinity chromatography with Glutathion Sepharose CL-4B and used as an antigen for the immunization of BALB/C mice. The Production of monoclonal antibody was achieved by fusion of the immunized spleen cells and SP/2-0 myeloma cells. Positive hybridomas were screened by ELISA and were cloned by two consecutive rounds of limiting dilution. The monoclonal antibody produced in this study (mAb${\beta}$C02) was IgM type and purified by immunoaffinity chromatography using anti-mouse IgM agarose as an affinity matrix. MAb${\beta}$C02 showed strong and specific immunoreactivity against both the fusion protein and human ${\beta}$2-adrenergic receptor in ELISA and Western blot. The molecular weight of immunoreactive band was 64 kDa and exactly coincided with the previously reported molecular weight of ${\beta}$2-adrenergic recepters. The results of the present study suggest that mAb${\beta}$C02 may be used for the study of receptor function and regulation in normal or nonphysiological status.

  • The intermediate conductance $Ca^{2+}-activated$ $K^+$ channels (SK4, IKCa1) are present in lymphocytes, and their membrane expression is upregulated by various immunological stimuli. In this study, the activity of SK4 was compared between Bal-17 and WEHI-231 cell lines which represent mature and immature stages of murine B lymphocytes, respectively. The whole-cell patch clamp with high-$Ca^{2+}$ ($0.8{\mu}M$) KCl pipette solution revealed a voltage-independent $K^+$ current that was blocked by clotrimazole (1 mM), an SK4 blocker. The expression of mRNAs for SK4 was confirmed in both Bal-17 and WEHI-231 cells. The density of clotrimazole-sensitive SK4 current was significantly larger in Bal-17 than WEHI-231 cells ($-11.4{\pm}3.1$ Vs. $-5.7{\pm}1.15$ pA/pF). Also, the chronic stimulation of B cell receptors (BCR) by BCR-ligation (anti-IgM Ab, $3{\mu}g$/ml, 8∼12 h) significantly upregulated the amplitude of clotrimazolesensitive current from $-11.4{\pm}3.1$ to $-53.1{\pm}8.6$ pA/pF in Bal-17 cells. In WEHI-231 cells, the effect of BCR-ligation was significantly small ($-5.7{\pm}1.15$ to $-9.0{\pm}1.00$ pA/pF). The differential expression and regulation by BCR-ligation might reflect functional changes in the maturation of B lymphocytes.
