8-10 week old ICR mice were infected intracerebrally and intraperitoneally with different encephalomyocarditis virus(K$_3$, $K_{11}$, ATT-VR 129) to observe histopathological and immunohistochemical change. Results obtained throuh the experiments were summarized as follows : 1. No differences in clinical signs by the virus strains and the inoculation routes were found. Mice infected with EMCV showed clinical signs after 3 days of inoculation. Main clinical signs were tremors, convulsions, circling movement, and uni or bilateral hindleg paralysis followed by death on the 3-8 days. In general, most of the infected animals died or recovered closely on the 8th day of postinoculation. 2. At necropsy, petechial and ecchymotic hemorrhages in lung were observed and no specific findings in other were observed. 3. In histopathological observation, neuroal cell degeneration perivascular mononucear cell in-filtration gliosis were appeared in central nervous system. Myocarditis with myocardial degeneration and necrosis, calcification were observed along with acinar cell necrosis of exocrine glands in pancreas, severe glomerulonephritis in kidney. Also, focal necrosis of hepatocytes and interstitial pneymonia hyperemia, hemorrhages in lungs were observed. 4. By immunohistochemical staining using ABCIT method, the positive cells were recognized in intracytoplasm of acinar cell in pancreas and intracytoplasm of neuronal cells in cerebrum.

This experiment was done to set up the immunohistochemical detection method for infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus(IHNV) antigens in the monolayers of CHSE-214 cell cultures inoculated with IHNV. Specific identification of IHNV antigens was detected in the cytoplasms of infected cells by the use of monoclonal antibodies to glycoproteins. The specific positive signal was observed as a distinct red color. The result showed that streptavidin alkaline phosphatase immunohistochemistry specifically identified IHNV antigens in infected cultured cells.

Erythropoietin (EPO), a glycoprotein hormone produced from primarily cells of the peritubular capillary endothelium of the kidney, is responsible for the regulation of red blood cell production. We have been investigating the roles of glycosylation site added in the biosynthesis and function of recombinant protein. In this study, we analyzed by immunohistochemical methods adaptive mechanisms to excessive erythrocytosis in transgenic (tg) mice expressing dimeric human erythropoietin (dHuEPO) gene. Splenomegaly was observed over 11~21 times in the tg mice. The 2,672 candidate spleen-derived genes were identified through the microarray analysis method, and decreased genes were higher than increased genes in the spleen. The specific proteins in the increased and decreased genes were analyzed by immunohistochemical methods. Our results demonstrate that problems of abnormal splenomegaly would solve in tg mice overexpressing dHuEPO gene.

아무르장지뱀(Takydromus amurensis)의 위장관 점막에 분포하는 내분비세포의 분포와 출현빈도 및 세포의 종류를 알아보기 위하여 몇가지 도은법 및 면역조직화학적 방법으로 관찰하였다. Grimelius법에만 염색된 은호성세포(argyrophil cell)는 유문부에 다수로 십이지장에 중등도로 국한되어 출현하였다. 한편 bovine CG면역반응세포는 유문부에서 최고의 빈도로 전장관에 걸쳐 분포하였다. BPP면역반응세포는 소장부위에서만 동정되었다. 따라서 아무르장지뱀의 위장관 내분비세포에서 은호성세포와 bovine CG면역반응세포는 분포와 출현빈도에서 일치하지 않았다.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2(HSV-1, HSV-2) are the ubiquitous human pathogens responsible for a variety of afflictions. HSV-2 is one of the viruses that were suspected of promoting carcinogenesis in the uterine cervix. Certainly, there is a need for the more sensitive and accurate laboratory techniques for HSV detection. We examined total 80 cases of smears including 17 Tzanck smears of skin and 63 cases of Papanicolaou smears from total 77 patients with clinical impression of herpetic infections, from September, 1985 through August, 1989. Immunohistochemical typings for HSV-1 and HSV-2 were performed together with routine cytologic findings and compared. The results are as follows : 1) Patients were 9 males and 33 females, and age distribution was between 5 and 71 years. 2) Subjective symptoms such as ulceration, vesicle, vaginal discharge, pruritus, and pain were complained in 36 patients and 38 cases were genital herpes. Recurrence was noted in 11 cases. 3) Positive results were obtained in 42 among 80 cases. 4) Both routine cytology and immunohistochemical staining were positive in 13 cases and in 24 cases only immunohistochemical staining were positive. 5 cases were positive only in routine cytologic smears. 5) The cases that immunocytochemical stain had been performed were 37 cases, which were all positive in type 2. Among the above 37 cases, type 1 also were positive in 5 cases. The results show that the immunoperoxidase technique is one of the rapid and reliable method to confirm the herpetic infection when suspected and that it is particularly useful when the Papanicolaou smear findings are equivocal.

목적: 갑상선세포에서 요오드의 섭취는 갑상선호르몬 합성의 첫 단계이며, sodium iodide symporter (NIS)라는 세포막 단백질에 의해 이루어지는 것으로 알려져 있고 NIS 유전자가 클로닝됨으로써 NIS 발현을 직접 관찰하는 것이 가능해졌다. 하지만, 갑상선암을 비롯한 갑상선 결절과 정상 조직에서의 NIS 발현은 검사방법과 대상에 따라 아주 다양한 결과를 보이고 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 갑상선암을 비롯한 여러 갑상선질환에서 NIS의 발현여부와 정도를 두 가지 서로 다른 RT-PCR방법과 면역조직화학염색법으로 조사하여 비교하였다. 대상 및 방법: 갑상선절제술을 받은 32명의 조직을 이용하였다. 술후 병리학적 진단은 유두암 19명, 여포암 1명, 수질암 1명, 선종 4명, 선종양 갑상선종 7명이었다. RT-PCR방법을 이용하여 갑상선글로불린, NIS, 갑상선과산화효소의 발현을 관찰하였고, 항NIS 항체를 이용하여 면역조직화학염색을 시행하여 NIS 발현 정도를 반정량적으로 평가하고, 그 결과를 각각 비교하였다. 결과: RT-PCR의 결과에서 유두암 19명중 10예에서 NIS의 발현이 있었다. 여포암 1예와 수질암 1예는 NIS 발현이 없었다. 선종 4명중 2예, 선종양 갑상선종 7명중 4예에서 NIS의 발현이 있었다. 면역조직화학염색법으로는 유두암 19명중 15예에서 발현이 있었고, 여포암 1예는 발현이 없었다. 선종 4예중 3예, 선종양 갑상선종 7예중 6예에서 발현이 있었다. RT-PCR방법에 의한 NIS의 발현 정도와 면역조직화학염색의 정도를 반정량적으로 평가하여 비교한 결과 각 검사의 결과 사이에 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었다(p<0.001). 결론: RT-PCR방법과 면역조직화학염색법으로 조사한 NIS의 발현 정도는 양의 상관관계가 있었으나, RT-PCR방법에 비해 면역조직화학염색법으로 NIS발현을 더 많이 찾을 수 있었다.

For a immunohistochemical diagnosis of the frozen and paraffin-embedded tissues against rabies virus, mice were intracerebrally inoculated with challege virus standard(CVS) rabies virus and then were used to detect the rabies viral antigen by the immunoperoxidase(IP) and the avidin-biotin complex(ABC) method. In this study, the results confirmed that ABC and IP methods, although the former showed more specific and sensitive than the latter, were reliable and effective for the demonstration of rabies virus in both frozen and paraffin-embedded brain tissues prepared from rabies-infected mice. Additionally, IP technique using the monoclonal antibody against rabies virus could be recommended as a standard diagnostic tool instead of the present immunofluorescent method for the local veterinary services in Korea.

Cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) play a crucial role in motor functions and their progressive degeneration is closely associated with spinocerebellar ataxias. Although immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis can provide a valuable tool for understanding the pathophysiology of PC disorders, the method validation of IHC analysis with cerebellar tissue specimens is unclear. Here we present an optimized and validated IHC method using antibodies to calbindin D28k, a specific PC marker in the cerebellum. To achieve the desired sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility, we modified IHC analysis procedures for cerebellar tissues. We found that the sensitivity of staining varies depending on the commercial source of primary antibody. In addition, we showed that a biotin-free signal amplification method using a horseradish peroxidase polymer-conjugated secondary antibody increases both the sensitivity and specificity of ICH analysis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that dye filtration using a $0.22\;{\mu}m$ filter eliminates or minimizes nonspecific staining while preserving the analytical sensitivity. These results suggest that our protocol can be adapted for future investigations aiming to understand the pathophysiology of cerebellar PC disorders and to evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic strategies for treating' these diseases.

To investigate morphological changes in the endocrine pancreas of chicken after pancreatic duct ligation, experimental animals were subdivided to control, 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 4 days, 7 days and 10 days groupes and all of three pancreatic ducts of chicken were ligated by surgical procedure and then the morphological changes were observed. In pancreatic islets, the vacuolation and invasion of connective tissue were occurred in all experimental groups and dissociation of pancreatic islets was detected in 4 days after pancreatic duct ligation and hold out to 10 days. The peak of the morphological changes in pancreatic islets was detected in 4 days after pancreatic duct ligation. In the results of immunohistochemical methods against glucagon, insulin, somatostatin and bovine pancreatic polypeptide(BPP), the number of immunoreactive pancreatic islets were decreased but the size increased with time, so the number of immunoreactive cells in each pancreatic islets were increased. Glucagon-immunoreactive cells were not changed but insulin-immunoreactive cells were decreased with time(p<0.05). BPP-immunoreactive cells were increased in 2 days after pancreatic duct ligation and then decreased with time(p<0.05). Somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were increased with time(p<0.05) in dark islets.

Immunohistochemical study on the intestinal tissues obtained from the 21 pigs of the 14 terms in Korea in which the clinical and epidemiological features had indicated the possible outbreaks of porcine epidemic diarrhea(PED) was performed using the indirect immunofluorescence test and/or the immunoperoxidase method in order to detect PED viral antigens in the infected cells of the intestines, and histopathological features were described as well. By immunohistochemical analysis, PED viral antigens were detected in the epithelial cells covering the small intestinal villi and recognized slightly in the cells lining the colonic surface epithelium as well. Occasional fluorescence was also seen in a few intestinal crypt epithelium. On light microscopy, the piglets with PED showed marked villous atrophy and fusion, and severe enterocyte degeneration and desquamation. On the other hand, the older pigs more than 4 week old age was mild villous atrophy and fusion, severe villous epithelial cell proliferation, and moderate mononuclear cell infiltration.
