The HCV gene was expressed in potato plants under the control of the constitutive CaMV 355 promoter or tuber-specific patatin promoter. Solanum tuberosum plants carrying a plant expression vector harboring the encoding region of HCV gene were generated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated in vitro transformation methods. The presence of HCV gene in the plant genome was detected by PCR and DNA hybridization experiments. We obtained the 5 lines of transgenic potato with the pMBPHCV construct and 4 lines of transgenic potato with the pATHCV construct. The HCV transgenic stably integrated into the potato genome, as well as their transcription. HCV mRNA was identified in leaf and tuber tissues of transgenic plants by Northern blot analysis. The transgenic potato plants produced the expected transcript, and the corresponding HCV protein accumulated in individual transgenic plants.

Sera of pigs with clinically normal and infectious conditions were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) to demonstrate the specific changes in protein profile. In the sera from pigs with infection, haptoglobin with a 40KDa protein was found to be increased as compared to that of sera from normal pigs. As a rapid detection method for monitoring infections at large-scale farms, one of acute phase protein, haptoglobin, was selected to compare the concentrations between infectious and non-infectious conditions. Haptoglobin concentrations were low in pigs with clinically normal conditions but significantly increased in pigs with Aujesky's disease, hog cholera and parvo-virus infection. The studies provide that haptoglobin can be used as an indicator to monitor infections early at farm level.

The objective of the present study was to investigate the use of fluid released from muscle samples as an alternative to serum for ELISA to detect classical swine fever(CSF) virus antibodies in slaughter pigs. The optimal correspondence between serum 1:20 OD values and muscle fluid OD values was achieved at a muscle fluid dilution of 1:2. Significant correlation was found between serum and neck muscle ELISA ($r_s=0.880$, p<0.0001, ${\kappa}=0.82$; specificity of 97.0% and sensitivity 90.6%). The semimembranous muscle showed similar correlation in CSF ELISA($r_s=0.877$, p<0.0001, ${\kappa}=0.75$; specificity of 94.1% and sensitivity 89.1%). High correlation was obtained between serum and mesenteric lymph node in the CSF ELISA ($r_s=0.937$, p<0.0001, ${\kappa}=0.87$; specificity of 97.1% and sensitivity 93.0%). Measmement agreement between serum ELISA and muscle fluid ELISA was calculated and expressed as limits of agreement. The correspondence of ELISA of serum and muscle fluid indicated limits of agreement. Above 95% of all muscle fluid values were distributed within this limits of agreement. Among the samples used for ELISA for detecting CSFV antibodies, mesenteric lymph node had the most correlation and agreement with serum ELISA. F-test for comparison of variances showed no significant difference between the serum and muscle fluid. In conclusion, muscle fluid is a useful postmortem alternative to serum to detect CSFV antibodies.

In recent years, the consumption of livestock products were markedly decreased by awareness of world-widely occurred diseases including mad cow disease, Foot and mouth disease, Hog cholera, and Poultry Influenza virus. the consumers ara also wanting to have highly safe food such as organic animal products because of concerning about residual of antibiotics in animal products. However, disease control and impairment of productivity are the major problem in organic animal production. On these points of view, the present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of 1% or 2% of dietary probiotics fortified with various minerals on improvement of egg production and egg quality in old lay6r feeding low quality feed mainly composed of food waste, sesame meal, and rice bran. After 4 weeks of experimental feeding, the diameter of spreading of egg white was clearly decreased from 11.2cm of control eggs to 10.5m and 10.1m in 1% and 2% treatment group eggs, respectively. The color of egg yolk was 9.3 in control eggs but remarkably increased in treatment groups showing 10.1~10.2. Egg production was 75.8% in control layers but significantly increased to 79.8% of 1% treatment group and 82.9% of 2% treatment group layers. Egg weights (C : 66.3g, 1% : 73.2g, and 2% : 76.7g) and egg shell thickness (C : 0.33mm, 1% : 0.35mm and 2% : 0.36mm) were also increased by the addition of 1% or 2% of probiotics when compared to those of control group eggs. All together, it has been suggested that dietary addition of probiotics fortified with various minerals can improve the egg quality and egg production in layer's productivities by the recycling of organic waste resources such as food waste and agricultural by-products.

유사산 태아의 폐, 청색증을 나타내는 자돈으로부터 돼지생식기 및 호흡기증후군(PRRS)의 원인체로 추정되는 바이러스주(KPRRSV) 들을 분리하였다. 분리된 바이러스주는 돼지콜레라, 돼지오제스키병, 돼지뇌심근염바이러스에 대한 형광항체반응에서는 음성이었으며 기니픽혈구에 대한 혈구응집 능력을 나타내지 않았다. 그리고 포유 마우스의 뇌내 접종시 이상을 나타내지 않았으나 돼지생식기 및 호흡기증후군에 대한 형광항체검사시 양성반응을 나타내었다. 분리된 바이러스는 돼지폐포탐식세포(porcine alveola macrophages)에서 세포변성효과(cytopathic effect)를 나타내었으며 세포변성효과를 나타내었던 바이러스주중 일주(KPRRSV-1)를 돼지폐포탐식세포에서 7대 연속 계대하여 돼지에 접종한 후 혈청을 분리하여 미국 및 유럽지역에서 분리된 돼지유행성 유사산 및 호흡기증후군의 바이러스를 탐식세포에 감염시켜 효소면역방법 (immunoperoxidase monolayer assay)으로 분석한 결과 분리된 바이러스는 미국형 돼지호흡기 및 유사산증후군에 가까운 항원형으로서 판명되었다.
