In order to establish a rapid, sensitive and specific diagnostic method for detection of antibody to Brucella abortus, a enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was adapted. The diagnostic efficacy of the established ELISA was compared with that of the standard tube agglutination test for B abortus. 1. It was found that the optimal concentration of antigen for this ELISA was 5$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, the optimal dilution of conjugate was 1 : 2000, and the optimal dilution of serum was 1 : 200, respectively. 2. Cut off value in this ELISA was 1,102 that was determined by mean absorbance(at 492nm) of tube agglutination test negative serum added with the triple value of the standared devation. 3. The relationship between the tube agglutination test and ELISA was showen high corresponding rate with sensitivity(96.3%) and specificity(98.1%). 4. The efficacy of the ELISA for detection of B abortus antibody was compared with tube agglutination test In brucellosis outbreak farm. The sensivity of ELSIA was higher than tube agglutination test.

Pathogenic effects of 29 different porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome(PRRS) virus isolates were investigated in swine tracheal ring(STR) cultures by examining their effects on the ciliary activity of STR. Inhibition of ciliary movement and destruction of the tracheal epithelium were seen between 72 and 96 hours postinoculation(PI). Virus replication was demonstrated by examining viral infectivity of the supernatants from the STR cultures. PRRS virus antigen in macrophages was detected by a streptavidin-biotin complex(ABC) immunoperoxidase method. Of the 29 PRRS virus isolates, 8 isolates were classified into pathogenic, and the remaining 21 isolates were determined as mildly pathogenic or apathogenic viruses. These results suggest that STR examination may be used as a method for predicting pathogenic variability of PRRS virus isolates.

Background： Infectious mononucleosis is a disease precipitated by Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) in mostly children, some seronegative adolescents and young adults comprising clinical symptoms such as fever, lymphadenopathy, and pharyngitis as well as laboratory findings such as hetero-phil antibodies and atypical lymphocytosis. It is confirmed by serologic test for EBV. Materials and Methods： A retrospective evaluation of 26 patients who diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis was peformed through the analysis of typical symptom, sign and laboratory findings. Results : Infectious mononucleosis occurs mostly at 3 to 10 years (74.9%), common symptoms and signs are fever, cervical lymphadenopathy, tonsillar enlargement and exudate. Positive ratio of atypical Lymphocyte(>10%) and hetrophil antibodies are 61.5%, 35.2% respectively, it is less diagnostic. EBV-viral capsid antigen(VCA) IgM are positive in all cases, so it is most diagnostic findings. Conclusion： Infectious mononucleosis should be considered as a cause of cervical lymphadenopathy and pharyngotonsillitis in children and young adults, the assessment of EBV-VCA IgM is necessary for the diagnosis.

An epidemiological study was conducted to investigate five diarrhea-causing pathogens (coronavirus, rotavirus, E. coli, Cryptosporidium, Giardia) using a rapid diagnostic kit in Hanwoo calves with diarrhea in Chungcheongbuk-do, Korea, from 2018 to 2021. A total of 22,417 fecal samples were collected from calves under 1 year of age; of those, 13,518 (60.3%) were positive for five bovine diarrhea antigens. The antigen positivity rates for rotavirus, coronavirus, E. coli, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium were 34.5%, 11.0%, 8.2%, 4.7%, and 2.0%, respectively. The prevalence of the five pathogens in calves was statistically higher in autumn and winter. The highest prevalence of the pathogens was observed in the under 1 month age group, and the incidence of diarrhea decreased with age. Rotavirus was a major pathogen in calves under 1 month of age, whereas the prevalence of E. coli increased with age. This study provides epidemiological evidence of the prevalence of calf diarrheal pathogens in Chungcheongbuk-do, Korea, which will facilitate early diagnosis and development of measures against calf diarrhea.

연구배경: 결핵의 유병률은 감소하는 추세이나 노인, 항암약물요법, HIV 감염 풍에 의해 면역기능이 약화된 환자에 있어서 결핵의 발생이 문제가 되고 있으며, 특히 다제내성균주의 출현은 큰 문제이다. 결핵진단법 중 체액에서 도말검사나 배양검사를 통해서 Myco-bacterium tuberculosis를 검출하는 것이 표준진단법이나, 도말검사는 상대적으로 민감도가 낮고 배양검사는 오랜시간이 소요된다. 중함연쇄반응을 이용하여 결핵균의 DNA를 검출하는 방법은 매우 민감하나 비용이 많이 소요된다. ELISA(enzyme linked immunosorbent assay)를 이용하여 혈청에서 결핵균 특이항원에 대한 항체를 검출하는 방법이 객담도말음성인 활동성 폐결핵환자를 다른 비결핵성 폐질환으로부터 감별하는데 유용한지를 확인하고자 하였다. 방 법: 연세대학교 세브란스 병원에 입원한 183명의 객담도 말음성인 폐질환환자에서 항산균에 대한 객담도말 및 배양검사와 결핵균 특이 항원인 recombinant 38 kilo-dalton 항원과 culture filtrate항원을 이용한 ELISA 검사를 시행하였다. 결 과: 35명의 활동성 폐결핵환자 중 18명에서 배양검사상 Mycobacterium tuberculosis를 검출할 수 있었다. 38 kDa와 culture filtrate에 대한 흡광도는 활동성 폐결핵환자들에서 비결핵성 폐질환자들보다 유의하게 높았다 (p<0.05). 활동성 폐결핵환자 중 객담배양양성과 음성군사이에 38 kDa와 culture filtrate에 대한 홉광도의 유의한 차이는 없었다 (p>0.05) 객담도말음성인 환자에 있어서 38 kDa과 culture filtrate의 민감도는 각각 20.0%와 31.4%였고 특이도는 각각 95.3%와 93.9%였다. 결 론: 객답도말검사 음성인 활동성 폐결핵환자에 있어서 ELISA를 이용한 38 kDa과 culture filtrate 항원에 대한 혈청항체검사법은 기존진단방법보다 낮은 민감도를 보여, 비결핵성 폐질환으로부터 활동성 폐결핵을 감별진단하는데 크게 도움이 되지 않을 것으로 여겨진다.

Tegumental and excretory-secretory proteins are reported as diagnostic antigens for human opisthorchiasis. Rhophilin associated tail protein1-like (OvROPN1L) protein of Opisthorchis viverrini sperm tail showed potential as a diagnostic antigen. The OvROPN1L recombinant fragments were assayed for diagnostic antigenicity for human opisthorchiasis using indirect ELISA. The strongest antigenic region was a N-terminus peptide of M1 - P56. One synthetic peptide (P1, L3-Q13) of this region showed the highest antigenicity to opisthorchiasis. Sera from other parasitic infections including Strongyloides stercoralis, hookworm, Taenia spp, minute intestinal flukes, Paragonimus spp showed lower reactivity to P1. Peptide P1 is located in the disordered N-terminus of ROPN1L supporting its suitability as linear epitope. In the Platyhelminthes the N-terminal sequence of ROPN1L is diverging with taxonomic distance further suggesting that peptide P1 has potential as diagnostic tool in the genus Opisthorchis/Clonorchis. It should be further evaluated in combination with peptides derived from other O. viverrini antigens to increase its diagnostic power.

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma(ALCL) is an uncommon type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL) populated with anaplastic, often bizarre cells that express CD30 (Ki-1) antigen. The unusual histologic and cytologic features may cause confusion with other neoplasms, such as poorly differentiated carcinoma, melanoma, Hodgkin's disease, or true histiocytic lymphoma. Although the cytologic features of ALCL have been well described, there are few reports about cytologic findings of the sarcomatold variant of ALCL. We experienced a case of fine needle aspiration(FNA) cytologic findings of ALCL which mimicks malignant fibrous histiocytoma. FNA cytology of chest wall mass in a 62-year-old female with a history of peripheral T-cell lymphoma(Lennert lymphoma) revealed a heterogeneous population of single cells and poorly cohesive cells with large, pleomorphic nuclei and spindle cells gathering around vascular structures within an inflammatory background. Additional features of the neoplastic cells were eccentric, multilobated nuclei with occasional 'wreath-like' configuration; abundant cytoplasm with vacuolization; and prominent nucleoli. The cytologic features suggested sarcoma, especially malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The diagnosis was made retrospectively with an aid of immunocytochemical staining.

Arthropod-borne viruses (Arboviruses) are transmitted by arthropods such as Culicoides biting midges and cause abortion, stillbirth, and congenital malformation in ruminants, apparently leading to economic losses to farmers. To monitor the distribution of Culicoides and to determine their relationship with different environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, wind speed, and altitude of the farms) on 5 cattle farms, Culicoides were collected during summer season (May-September) in 2016 and 2017, and analyzed for identification of species and detection of arboviruses. About 35% of the Culicoides were collected in July and the collection rate increased with increase in temperature and humidity. The higher altitude where the farms were located, the more Culicoides were collected on inside than outside. In antigen test of Culicoides against 5 arboviruses, only Chuzan virus (CHUV) (2.63%) was detected in 2016. The Akabane virus (AKAV), CHUV, Ibaraki virus and Bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) had a positive rate of less than 1.8% in 2017. In antigen test of bovine whole blood, AKAV (12.96%) and BEFV (0.96%) were positive in only one of the farms. As a result of serum neutralization test, antibodies against AKAV were generally measured in all the farms. These results suggest that vaccination before the season in which the Culicoides are active is probably best to prevent arbovirus infections.
