Candida pseudotropicalis의 영양요구성 돌연변이 균주들에 대한 원형질체 형성, 재생 그리고 융합에 있어서 bovine serum albumin (BSA), myoinositol 그리고 ergosterol의 증진효과를 연구하였다. 원형질체 형성율은 영양요구성 균주의 type에 따라 48%-98%였다. O. 5mg/ml의 myoinositol과 0.1mg/ml의 ergosterol을 배양액에 첨가하고 4mg/ ml의 BSA을 원형 질체 형성 완충용액에 첨가했을 때는 50~100%의 원형절체 형성윷을 얻었다. 영양요구성 균주의 생장배지에 myoinositol과 ergosterol을 동시에 첨가하고 원형질체 형성 완충용액에 BSA를 침가하면 2.2-3.0애의 원형질체 재생율 증진을 보여주었다. 원형질체 융합의 최적조건에서 상보적 영양요구성 균주간의 융합율은 $7.0\times 10^{-4}$ ~ $1.5\times 10^{-3}$ 이였으며 상기화합물을 처리하지 않고 얻은 융힐l율과 비교해서 1. 9-2. 3배의 증가를 보였다. 이러힌 결과로 본 연구에서 사용된 균주들에서는 상기화합물 처리 에 의해 원형질체 재생은 물론 세포융합율도 증진됨을 알 수 있었다.

Polyethersulfone (PES)와 Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) 용액으로 전기방사법을 이용하여 단백질 친화막을 제조하였다. 방사운전조건(방사용액의 농도, 전압, 방사속도, 방사거리)을 다양하게 조절하여 나노섬유의 크기를 관찰하였으며, 최적의 친화막 제조 조건을 확인할 수 있었다. XPS와 FT-IR로써 PES와 BSA의 결합을 확인하였으며, PES-BSA 나노섬유의 최적 방사 온도와 습도는 $20{\sim}22^{\circ}C$와 $45{\sim}55%$임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 PES 함량이 증가할수록 섬유의 크기가 증가하고, BSA의 경우 나노섬유의 크기에 큰 영향이 없음을 알았다. PES 7 wt%, BSA 0.7 wt%. Hexafluropropanol (HFP) 92.3 wt%의 용액을 이용하여 전압 10.0 kV, 방사거리 10 cm, 방사속도 1.0 mL/hr의 조건에서 방사한 경우 균일한 크기의 PES-BSA 나노섬유가 얻어졌다.

Cryopreservation of embryos by vitrification is a simple method to preserve bovine embryos for subsequent embryo transfer, but embryonic viability after vitrification has been inconsistent and low compared with conventional slow freezing. The aim of the present study is to examine the effect of serum or serum albumin in a vitrification solution and epidermal growth factor(EGF) or fibroblast growth factor(FGF) on in vitro viability of bovine blastocysts frozen by vitrification. Bovine blastocysts were produced by in vitro maturation, fertilization of follicular oocytes and culture of embryos in a synthetic oviduct fluid medium(SOFM) containing BSA and 19 essential and nonessential amino acids. Blastocysts with excellent or good morphology were selected at 7 or 8 days after culture and utilized for vitrification. In experiment 1, blastocysts were vitrified in a solution containing semi-fetal calf serum(SFCS) or BSA(5 or 10mg/ml) and then their subsequent viabilities were examined by culturing thawed embryos in a SOFM containing BSA and 19 amino acids. Effect of EGF or FGF added to a SOFM containing polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) on the viability of vitrified-thawed blastocysts was investigated in experiment 2. BSA added at 5 or 10mg/ml to a vitrification solution showed significantly higher(p < 0.05) developmental rate to expanded and hatching blastocysts than SFCS, but there was no significant difference in the developmental rate to hatched blastocysts after thawing. Supplementation of a culture medium with EGF and/or FGF significantly increased(p < 0.05) embryo development to expanded blastocysts compared with control but showed no beneficial effect on the development to hatching or hatched blastocysts. Coculture of thawed embryos with granulosa cells in a TCM 199 containing 10% fetal calf serum(FCS) showed the highest developmental rate to expanded, hatching and hatched blastocysts among the groups tested. In conclusion, supplementation of a vitrification solution with BSA at 5mg/ml and culture of thawed blastocysts in a medium containing EGF and/or FGF can improve in vitro viability of bovine blastocysts frozen by vitrification.

Objective : Membranous nephropathy(MN) is one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults. MN has been defined as granular subepithelial deposition of IgG immune complexes along the glomerular basement membrane(GBM). However, there is not a satisfactory treatment for MN. We aimed to identify the effect of Impatiens balsamina Linne(IBL) treatment on cationic bovine serum albumin(cBSA)-induced MN in a mouse model. Methods : Mice were divided into 4 groups. The normal group was injected with saline. The Control group was treated with cBSA(50 mg/kg i.p) only. The third group IBL-100, was treated with cBSA(50 mg/kg, i.p) and IBL(100 mg/kg, p.o). The fourth group IBL-400, was treated with cBSA(50 mg/kg, i.p) and IBL (400 mg/kg, p.o). After cBSA and IBL treatment for 6 weeks, we measured change of body weight, proteinuria, serum albumin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, BUN, creatinine, IgA, IgM, IgG, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 and IL-$1{\beta}$ levels. The morphologic changes of renal glomeruli were also observed with a light microscope. Results : The level of proteinuria significantly decreased and serum albumin increased in groups treated with cBSA and IBL extract compared with the control. The levels of serum triglyceride, BUN, IgG, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$ significantly decreased in both IBL groups. In histological findings of kidney tissue, thickening of GBM decreased in both IBL groups. Conclusions : This study shows that IBL might be effective for treatment of acute stage MN. More clinical data and studies are to be done for efficient application.

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) combined with bovine serum albumin (BSA) or methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MBCD) on plasma and acrosomal membrane damages, mitochondrial activity, morphological abnormality, motility, and oxidative stress in frozen-thawed boar sperm. In previous our study, 3 ng/mL ALA had been shown protective effect during freezing process of boar sperm. Therefore, we used 3 ng/mL ALA in present study and ALA was combined with same molar ratio of BSA or MBCD (ALA+BSA and ALA+MBCD, respectively). To confirm the effect of two carrier proteins, same volume of BSA and MBCD without ALA were added during cryopreservation. Membrane damage, mitochondrial activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels were measured using flow cytometry, and movement of sperm tail as motility parameter and morphological abnormality were observed under light microscope. In results, all of sperm parameters were enhanced by ALA combined with BSA or MBCD compared to control groups (p<0.05). Mitochondrial activity, morphological abnormality, ROS and LPO levels in ALA+BSA or MBCD groups were no significant difference compared with ALA, BSA and MBCD treatment groups. On the other hand, plasma and acrosomal membrane intact, and sperm motility in ALA+MBCD group were higher than single treatment groups (p<0.05), whereas ALA+BSA did not differ. Our findings indicate that carrier proteins such as BSA and MBCD could improve the effect of ALA during cryopreservation of boar sperm, and treatment of ALA with carrier proteins enhance membrane integrity, mitochondrial activity through reduction of ROS-induced LPO.

Most progesterone enzyme immunoassays(EIA) are used liquid phase double-antibody separation. These methods consume considerable time and reagents because of the requirements for several washing and centrifugation steps involving the reactants. Because of there several problems, we were prompted to develop an effective EIA system by the use of higher titer of progesterone antiserum free of anti-bovine serum albumin antibodies (anti-BSA). The results obtained were as follows. 1. The antibody of progesterone antiserum was high as $1.5{\times}10^5$. 2. Percent activity bound of progesterone antiserum was about 77 at a dilution to $5{\times}10^3$ times. 3. Progesterone antiserum was contained a large amount of anti-BSA antibodies. 4. The anti-BSA was completely absorbed by using of polymerised BSA. 5. The molecular weight of albumin polymer (polymerised BSA) obtained by using 2.5% glut. araldehyde was $5{\times}10^5$.

The effect of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the encapsulation efficiency and stability of liposomes containing methotrexate (MTX) having different surface charges and cholesterol contents were investigated. The encapsulation efficiency of MTX was lower and the release of MTX was faster by the addition of BSA. The leaking of MTX from lipid bilayer depends upon the BSA concentrations. These results may be derived from the interaction of BSA with lipid bilayers. The dynamic structural changes of BSA were monitored indirectly using circular dichroism spectra. Observed dynamic structural changes of BSA with liposomes are presumed to reflect the interaction of BSA with liposomes. Negatively charged liposomes have more strong interaction with BSA than neutral and positively charged liposomes. BSA attacks lipid bilayers whether it is at the inner or at the outer phase of lipid bilayer and induces leakage of entrapped MTX. Especially, negatively charged liposomes are more sensitive than others. The inclusion of cholesterol in the lipid layers inhibits the interaction of BSA with liposomes and shows protective effect against BSA-induced leakage of MTX. To endure the attacking of BSA liposomes as drug carriers should be made using cholesterol.

Binding of sulfaethidole to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by circular dichroism. The effects of pH and ionic strength on the binding of sulfaethidole to BSA were investigated. It was found that one primary binding site on the BSAM was capable of inducing optical activity in the presence of sulfaethidole. Enhancement of the induced ellipticity of sulfaethidole upon addition to BSA was not much affected by the change of pH and ionic strength. Taking the effects of pH and ionic strength into consideration, it seems that the binding of sulfaethidole to BSA was not much affected by electrostatic and ionic interactions. Therefore, it might be assumed that the binding was mainly due to the hydrophobic interactions. Sulfaethidole seems to be a reasonable CD probe for the study of hydrophobic drug interactions.

This study was conducted to evaluate effect of ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid (ALA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) on viability, acrosome reaction and mitochondrial intact in frozen-thawed boar sperm. The boar semen was collected by gloved-hand method and cryopreserved using freezing extender containing 3 ng/mL ALA and/or $20\;{\mu}g/mL$ BSA. Cryo-preserved boar sperms were thawed in $37^{\circ}C$ water-bath for 45 sec to analysis. Viability, acrosome reaction, and mitochondrial intact were analyzed using flow cytometry. In results, viability of frozen-thawed boar sperm was significantly higher in only ALA+BSA supplement group than control group (p<0.05), whereas there was no difference either in ALA or BSA supplement. However, acrosome reacted sperm in both of live and all sperm population were significantly decreased in all treatment groups than control (p<0.05). Interestingly, mitochondrial intact of boar sperm was enhanced in ALA and ALA+BSA groups compared with control (p<0.05). In this study, we showed that supplementation of ALA and BSA in freezing extender enhanced the sperm viability, mitochondrial intact and decrease acrosomal membrane damage. In conclusion, our findings suggest that quality of frozen-thawed sperm in mammalians could improve by using of ALA and BSA.

폴리아마이드 역삼투막 표면에 음이온 수용성 고분자인 poly(vinyl amine)(PVAm)을 코팅한 후 오염물질인 bovine serum albumin (BSA), humic acid (HA), sodium alginate (SA)에 대하여 파울링 개선효과가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. PVAm의 코팅과 파울링 여부는 scanning electron microscopy (SEM)을 통해 관찰하였다. BSA, HA, SA 100 ppm 공급원액을 이용하여 2, 4, 8 bar로 압력을 변화시켜 투과성능실험을 수행한 결과 PVAm으로 코팅되지 않은 막과 코팅된 막 모두 압력증가에 따라 파울링 현상이 심화되었으나 PVAm으로 코팅된 막이 BSA, HA, SA의 경우 모두에서 약 30%이상 투과도가 향상되어 파울링 개선효과가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. HA > SA > BSA의 순으로 파울링 개선효과가 나타났으며 HA의 경우 가장 두드러지게 나타났다.
