Cryptosporidium parvum causes a life-threatening diarrhea in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. THe sporozoite stage of C. parvum has been known to be a target in treating cryptosporidiosis in AIDS patients as it is an extracellular stage. A sporozoite was ultrastructurally observed. It has a creascent shape with a rounded posterior end and a tapering body. The compact nucleus was located at the posterior end. A monoclonal antibody was produced, which recognized a 43 kDa of sporozoite antigens in a western blot analysis and showed the surface labeling in immunofluorescence.

Enzyme-linked immunoassay system using monoclonal antibody (MAb) has become an important methodology for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of drugs and phytochemical compounds having small molecular weight. In this study, monoclonal antibodies against berberine, one of main constituent of Phellodendron amurense, Coptis japonica and Corydalis turtschaninovii, were produced. (omitted)

Twelve clones of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against thyroglobulin were produced and characterized. Among them, three mAbs (TN-1, TN-2 and TN-3) showed high binding affinity to thyroglobulin. from ELISA inhibition assay, TN-2 showed considerable reactivity with soluble thyroglobulin. TN-2 also reacted with phosphatidylserine which has a negative charge in aqueous condition. These results suggest that TN-2 has characteristics of autoantibody concerned with thyroiditis.

Hybridoma cell is very important in point of producing monoclonal antibody(Mab). Producing large quantity of Mab is economically valuable. On this experiment, we used one of hybridoma cell line, 5F12 AD3, and treated various antibiotics such as genetitin(G418), ciprofloxacin and minocycline to improve cell viability and we expect that improving cell viability brings higher concentrations of Mab. The optimum concentration of each antibiotics for improving cell viability were 10ug/ml for G418, 1ug/ml or 10ug/ml for ciprofloxacin and 1ug/ml for minocycline.

Monoclonal antibodies against human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) were prepared and characterized by examining isotype, epitope binding, cross reactivity and affinity constants. And a sandwich type enzyme immunoassay for native hCG was developed with solid phase monoclonal antibody against the conformational determinant expressed only on native hCG and horseradish peroxidase conjugated monoclonal antibody against the $\beta$-subunit of hCG. The assay was sensitive to 1 mIU hCG/ml and shown a linear response up to 200 mIU hCG/ml. The cross reactivity for luteinizing hormone and $\beta$-subunit of hCG were 1% and 0.18%, respectively.

Human placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP), one of the oncofetal antigen was purified from placentas through the procedures including butanol extraction, concanavalin A-Sephar-ose, DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-200 gel chromatography. Monoclonal antibodies (fibs) against human PMP were produced by hybridizing SP 210-Ag 14 mouse myeloma cells with spleen ceils of Balblc mice immunized with PLAP. Six stable monoclones uvere obtained by cloning tuvice in serial dilutions, and the monoclonal speclfidty of these MAbs was confirmed by biochemical and immunonogical criteria. Tumor marker의 하나인 태반형 alkaline phosphatase(PLAP)에 대한 단일 클론항체의 생산과 분석을 위하여, 태반조직을 재료로 butanol 추출법 및 concanavaline A-Sepharose, DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-200 gel 크로마토그라피법에 의하여 PLAP를 순수 분리하였다. 이를 항원으로 하여 하이브리도마 방법에 의해 항-PLAP 단일 클론항체를 생산 분비하는 안정된 6클론세포를 얻었으며 생화학적 및 면역학적 분석방법으로 이들의 단일 클론성을 확인하였다.

Monoclonal antibodies were prepared in order to an assay method for Vibrio vulnificus. Sixteen mouse ybridoma cell lines were established by immunization of whole cell antigen to BALB/c mice, fusion with SP2/O myeloma cells, and cloning. Most of them secreted IgM.lambda. antibodies. A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed with rabbit anti-V. vulnificus polyclonal antibodies as capture antibody, an IgM monoclonal antibody as detector antibody, and goat anti-mouse IgM-alkaline phosphatase conjugate as developer antibody. The range of detection was 10$\^$4/ to 10 V. vulnificus cells per microplate well. When four related Vibrio species were tested for cross-reactions, V. parahaemolyticus showed 3.5% reactively and V. carchariae, V. fluvialis, and V. furnisii showed negligibal (<1%) cross-reactivity.

Biopolymer membrane was prepared using two oppositely charged natural biopolymers. The biopolymer membrane was used for the encapsulation of two hybridoma cell lines(ATCC CRL-1606, ATCC HB-8852) to produce monoclonal antibodies. In order to reduce the down stream steps, the pre size of the membrane was controlled to retain the monoclonal antibodies in the capsules based on the diffusion experiments with standard proteins. T-flask culture showed cell densities of 8$\times$107 cells/mL and 3$\times$107 cells/mL, and MAb concentrations of 506$\mu$g/mL and 109$\mu$g/mL for encapsulated ATCC CRL-1606 and HB-8852, respectively. Two liter perfusion cultures with encapsulated ATCC HB-8852 were performed to enhance the MAb production. The MAb production of the encapsulated hybridoma increased considerably comparing to the culture using silicon tubing for oxygen transfer.

Surface plasmon resonance has been used for a biospecific interaction analysis between two macromolecules in real time. Determination of an antibody that is capable of specifically interacting with the native form of antigen is very useful for many biological and medical applications. Twenty monoclonal antibodies against the $\alpha$ subunit of E. coli DNA polymerase III were screened for specifically recognizing the native form of protein using surface plasmon resonance. Only four monoclonal antibodies among them specifically recognized the native $\alpha$ protein, although all of the antibodies were able to specifically interact with the denatured $\alpha$ subunit. These antibodies failed to interfere with the interaction between the $\tau$ and $\alpha$ subunits that were required for dimerization of the two polymerases at the DNA replication fork. This real-time analysis using surface plasmon resonance provides an easy method to screen antibodies that are capable of binding to the native form of the antigen molecule and determine the biological interaction between the two molecules.

Polyneuropathy that is associated with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) similar to chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) has been reported before, whereas a connection to acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) has not been. A 52 year-old man was presented with ascending paralysis beginning 1 day ago. Neurological examinations showed facial diplegia and decreased motor power and deep tendon reflexes in all extremities. On electrophysiologic study, sensorimotor polyneuropathy was observed. Protein-and immunoelectrophoresis revealed IgA $\lambda$ monoclonal gammopathy. High dose steroid therapy was given and the symptoms improved slightly.
