These studies were carried out to investigate the properties of H-Y antigen purified by immunoaffinity chromatography using monoclonal H-Y antibody. Immunoaffinity column was prepared by the coupling of monoclonal antibody to the Aminolink Coupling Gel. Murine testis supernatant was applied onto the column and eluted by O.lM glycine-HCl buffer and 31${\mu}g$ of H-Y Ag was eluted from one testis. Purified H-Y Ag strongly reacted with Con A and lentil from 6 different kinds of lectins tested, which may indicate that sugar moiety of H-Y Ag is composed of glucose, mannose and their derivatives. Con A-sepharose affinity column was used to purified H-Y Ag based on that H-Y Ag is glycoprotein. The fraction eluted by 0.2M Me-${\alpha}$-D-mannoside from the column loaded with murine testis supernatant was identified to be H-Y Ag by dot blot test. Molecular weight of the purified H-Y Ag was estimated by Sepharose G-75 gel filtration and SDS-PAGE, and showing that it was about 67,000 dalton. In fluorescence test, the ratio of XY embryos and XX embryos was 1:1.

In order to detect chitooligosaccharides (COS) in soybean paste, tandem immunoaffinity chromatography and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were developed. Polyclonal anti-chitooligosaccharides mixture (CaSM) antibody specific to COSM was attached to Sepharose gel for initial sample cleanup and concentration of COS in soybean paste. COS was eluted and quantified by competitive direct ELISA (cdELISA). Average ELISA recoveries from the column using binding buffer spiked with COSM at levels of 0.5, 2.0, 5.0, and $10.0\mu$g/ml were 79.8, 72.0, 77.7, and 60.6%, respectively, with a mean recovery of 72.5%. Mean inter-well and inter-assay coefficients of variation (CV) were 7.7% and 10.3%, respectively. Average recoveries from soybean paste spiked with COSM at levels of 2, 6, 20, and $60\mu$g/g were 115, 91.7, 91, and 73.3%, respectively, with a mean recovery of 92.8%. Mean inter-well and inter-assay CV were 12.9% and 16%, respectively. The COS was detected from 24 out of 25 homemade Korean soybean paste samples at an average of $14.0\mu$g/g (n, 25; range, $0-51.2 \mu$g/g) and from 13 out of 14 commercially made soybean paste samples at an average of $4.1\mu$g/g(n, 14; range, $0-18.4\mu$g/g). The tandem immunoaffinity chromatography-cdELISA that was developed in this study showed that the level of COS eluted from homemade soybean paste was higher than that of the commercially made ones. In addition, the level of COS eluted from commercially available soybean paste in Korea was higher than that of the ones in Japan.

An immunoaffinity chromatography for the specific binding of Streptomyces somaliensis phospholipase D (PLD) that is considered as an industrially potential enzyme was developed. By using the protein structure prediction programs and the X-ray crystal structure of a Streptomyces PLD, 5 different epitopes with high antigenicity that are predicted to locate on the surface of the S. somaliensis PLD were selected and then synthesized for the preparation of antipeptide antibodies. Each purified rabbit IgG was coupled with NHS-activated Sepharose to prepare the immunoaffinity resins. After one-step purification of the culture concentrate on the antipeptide IgG-coupled Sepharose column, SDS-PAGE and the Western blot analysis of the purified samples showed that purification of PLD on the affinity columns was satisfactory, indicating that the peptide design using the structural information of Streptomyces PLDs was rational. However, the purified PLD in the solution aggregated rapidly, which resulted in poor specific activity and low purification yield.

A survey of total aflatoxin levels was conducted on 158 samples (nuts, fermented foods and their processed products) collected in local markets in Gyeonggi-do and Domestic Internet Site. The total aflatoxins were quantified by the immunoaffinity column clean-up method followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-fluorescence detector (FLD). Aflatoxins were found in 45(28.5%) samples including 34 nuts and nut products, 7 soybean pastes, 1 meju, 1 bean product and 2 corn snacks with a range of $0.02{\sim}3.96\;{\mu}g/kg$. These results show that the contamination level of aflatoxin in foods consumed in Korea is low compared with the standard in Korea Food Code($10\;{\mu}g/kg$ as aflatoxin $B_1$). Aflatoxin $B_1$ content was increased in peanuts and com snacks during storage but it was decreased in doenjang (soybean paste).

Effect of hyperosmotic pressure on growth of recombinant Chinese hamster 。 vary cells and Erythropoietin (EPO) production was investigated. Cells were cultivated in batch modes at various osmolalities. When the osmolality increased from 314 to 463mOsm/Kg, specific EPO productivity (qp) was increased up to 1.6-fold but cell growth was inhibited. EPO has a complex oligosaccharide structure that plays an important role in biological activity in vivo. To investigate the influence of hypoerosmotic pressure on the glycosylation, structural analysis of oligosaccharide was calTied out. Recombinant human EPO was produced by CHO cells grown under various osmotic pressure and purified from culture supernatants by heparin-sepharose affinity column and immunoaffinity column. N-linked oligosaccharides were released enzymatically and isolated by paper chromatography. The isolated oligosaccharides were labeled with fluorescent dye, 2-aminobenzamide and analyzed with MonoQ anion exchange chromatography and GlycosepN amide chromatography for the assignment of GU (glucose unit) value. Glycan analysis by HPLC showed that neutral (asialo) oligosaccharide was increased slightly with an increase in osmolality. In portion of sialylated glycan, total relative amount of mono- and di-sialyated glycan was increased but that of tri- and tetra-sialylated glycan decreased as osmolality was increased.
