본 실험은 일정한 발달단계(發達段階)에 있는 생쥐배(胚)를 응집시킬때 세포응집소인 Phytohemagglutinin-P(PHA-P)를 첨가 라화배(裸化胚)의 응집율과 응집된 배(胚)를 in vitro에서 배양하였을때의 배양율 및 적당한 PHA-P의 첨가농도를 조사하여 Chimera배(胚)를 생산하는데 필요한 기초지식을 얻기 위하여 실시(實施)하였다. Albino BALB/C와 CBA계통 및 C57BL 계통의 생쥐에 pregnant mare Serum gonadotropin와 human chorionic gonadotropin를 투여하여 과배란 생쥐에 PMSG와 hCG를 투여하여 과배란을 유기, 회수된 생쥐의 4세포기, 8세포기 및 상실배기 수정란을 1.0% Protease 용액으로 투명대를 제거(除去)하고 PHA-P를 첨가한 배양액에서 미세한 초자봉(硝子棒)으로 계통(系統)이 다른 두 계통(系統)의 생쥐의 배(胚)를 응집시킨 다음 응집된 배를 $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$, 95% Air의 배양기 조건하에서 13~50 시간 배양하면서 Chimera배(胚)의 발달상태를 조사하였다. 본(本) 실험에서 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 1.0% Protease 또는 1.0% Protease 및 $5ug/m{\ell}$ PHA-P가 첨가된 산성 Tyrode액에서 투명대를 제거한 라화배(裸化胚)를 배반포까지 배양했을때 유의차는 없었으나 4세포기배와 8세포기배 보다 상실기배가 더 잘 발달되었으며 또한 PHA-P를 첨가하였을때가 첨가하지 아니한 때 보다 다소 좋은 경향을 보였다. 2. PHA-P $2ug/m{\ell}$첨가시 4세포기, 8세포기 및 상실기배의 응집율은40.0~82.0%, $5ug/m{\ell}$첨가시에는 52.0~94.0%, $10ug/m{\ell}$ 첨가시에는 48.0~96.0%로 배(胚)의 발달단계(發達段階)에 따라서는 4세포기, 8세포기가 상실배기 보다 유의적으로 높았다 (P<.05). PHA-P의 처리수준에 의한 응집율에 있어서는 5 또는 $10ug/m{\ell}$첨가구가 $2ug/m{\ell}$첨가구 보다 조금 높게 나타났으나 유의차는 없었다. 3. 응집배의 상실배까지의 배양율은 PHA-P의 각(各) 수준간 및 각(各) 세포기간에 유의차가 인정되지 않았다. 응집배의 배반포까지의 배양율은 PHA-P 수준사이에는 유의차가 없었으나 4세포기와 8세포기의 배(胚)는 상실기 배(胚)보다 유의적으로 높은 배양율을 보였다 (P<.05). 4. 응집된 배(胚)가 배반포까지 발달하는데 소요되는 평균시간은 4세포기배가 38.5~40시간, 8세포기배가 26~27시간, 상실기배가 19~20시간이었다. 5. 응집율은 34.0~94.0%의 범위로서 PHA-P를 첨가할때 응집율이 더 좋은 경향을 보였으나 유의성은 인정되지 않았다. 4세포기와 8세포기의 배(胚)가 상실기배 보다 유의적으로 높았다(P<.05). 6. 응집배의 상실배까지의 발달율은 4세포기배가 52.7~84.7%, 8세포기배가 73.8~872% 였으며 세포기 사이에는 유의차는 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 PHA-P를 첨가한 것이 발달이 더 좋았다. 7. 응집배의 배반포까지의 발달율은 4세포기의 배(胚)가 41.7~77.7%, 8세포기의 배(胚)는 78.7~83.0% 상실기배가 0~19.2%였으며 4세포기의 PHA-P 처리가 미처리(未處理) 보다 유의적으로 높았다(P<.05). PHA-P를 처리했을 때 4세포기와 8세포기가 상실기의 배(胚) 보다 더 높은 발달율을 보였다.

The nickel and cobalt resistance of Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 is mediated by the CnrCBA efflux pump encoded by the cnrYHXCBAT metal resistance determinant. The products of the three genes cnrYXH transcriptionally regulate expression of cnr. CnrY and CnrX are membrane-bound proteins, probably functioning as anti-sigma factors, whereas CnrH is a cnr-specific extracytoplasmic functions (ECF) sigma factor. The periplasmic domain of CnrX (residues 29-148) was cloned as a N-terminal His-tagged protein, expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified using affinity chromatography and gel filtration. The molecular mass was estimated to be about 13.6kDa by size exclusion chromatography, corresponding to a monomer. The tetragonal bipyramid crystals were obtained by mixing an equal volume of protein in 50mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 1% glycerol, 100mM NaCl, 1mM DTT, and the reservoir solution of 15% w/v PEG 2000, 100mM lithium chloride at 277K in 2-4 days using hanging drop vapor diffusion. The protein concentration was 24mg/ml. The crystal that diffracted to $2.42{\AA}$ resolution belongs to space group $P4_1\;or\;P4_3$ with unit cell parameters of $a=b=32.14{\AA},\;c=195.31{\AA},\;{\alpha}={\beta}={\gamma}=90^{\circ}$, with one molecule of CnrX in the asymmetric unit.

This study was to establish in uitro culture system of mouse preantral follicles and to obtain higher in vitro development rates and production of live young. Preantral follicles were obtained from 12-day-old FI mouse (C57BL $\times$ CBA) by enzymatical methods. Oocyte-granulosa cell complexes (OGCs) of preantral follicles were loaded on Transwell-COL insert and cultured in $\alpha$MEM supplemented with 5% FBS, 100 mIU/$m\ell$ FSH and 100 mIU/$m\ell$ hMG for IVG. IVM was performed in $\alpha$MEM supplemented 1.5 IU/$m\ell$ hCG for 18 hrs and IVF was carried out in Ml6 medium. Embryos were cultured in modified Ml6 medium supplemented 10% FBS for 4 days.

Objective: This study was to compare the characteristics between parthenogenetic mES (P-mES) cells and in vitro fertilization mES cells. Materials and Methods: Mouse oocytes were recovered from superovulated 4 wks hybrid F1 (C57BL/6xCBA/N) female mice. For parthenogenetic activation, oocytes were treated with 7% ethanol for 5 min and $5{\mu}g$/ml cytochalasin-B for 4 h. For IVF, oocytes were inseminated with epididymal sperm of hybrid F1 male mice ($1{times}10^6/ml$). IVF and parthenogenetic embryos were cultured in M16 medium for 4 days. Cell number count of blastocysts in those two groups was taken by differential labelling using propidium iodide (red) and bisbenzimide (blue). To establish ES cells, b1astocysts in IVF and parthenogenetic groups were treated by immunosurgery and recovered inner cell mass (ICM) cells were cultured in LIF added ES culture medium. To identify ES cells, the surface markers alkaline phosphatase, SSEA-1, 3,4 and Oct4 staining were examined in rep1ated ICM colonies. Chromosome numbers in P-mES and mES were checked. Also, in vitro differentiation potential of P-mES and mES was examined. Results: Although the cleavage rate (${\geq}$2-cell) was not different between IVF (76.3%) and parthenogenetic group (67.0%), in vitro development rate was significantly low in parthenogenetic group (24.0%) than IVF group (68.4%) (p<0.05). Cell number count of ICM and total cell in parthenogenetic b1astocysts ($9.6{\pm}3.1,\;35.1{\pm}5.2$) were signficantly lower than those of IVF blastocysts ($19.5{\pm}4.7,\;63.2{\pm}13.0$) (p<0.05). Through the serial treatment procedure such as immunosurgery, plating of ICM and colony formation, two ICM colonies in IVF group (mES, 10.0%) and three ICM colonies (P-mES, 42.9%) in parthenogenetic group were able to culture for extended duration (25 and 20 passages, respectively). Using surface markers, alkaline phosphatase, SSEA-l and Oct4 in P-mES and mES colony were positively stained. The number of chromosome was normal in ES colony from two groups. Also, in vitro neural and cardiac cell differentiation derived from mES or P-mES cells was confirmed. Conclusion: This study suggested that P-mES cells can be successfully established and that those cell lines have similar characteristics to mES cells.

4-Chlorobiphenyl(4CB) 과 biphenyl 을 분해하는 Pseudomoas sp. DJ-12 의 pcbAB 는 분해초기 단계에 작용하는 4-chlorobiphenyl dioxygenase 와 dihydrodiol dehydrogenase 효소를 생산하는 유전자들이다. 이 유전자를 E. coli XL1-Blue 에 플로닝하여 CU101 형질전환체를 얻었다. CU101 의 pCU101 재조합 plasmid 에 클로닝된 pcbAB 유전자는 크기가 약 2.2 kb 이고 3 개의 Hind III 제한효소 위치가 있었으며, 독자적인 promoter 를 가지고 있었다. CU101 에 대하여 biphenyl 을 기질로 하여 생성된 대사산물을 resting cell assay 를 한 결과 2, 3-dihydroxybiphenyl 이 검출되어 pcbAB 유전자들이 E. coli 에서 잔 발현된다는 것을 의미하였다. 그러나 dechlorination 작용은 pcbAB 유전자와 관계없이 4AB 의 개환과정 후 생성된 4-chlorobenzoate 에서 일어나는 것으로 해석된다.

The effects of ethylene glycol, DMSO and glycerol as cryoprotectants and the effect of concentrations(0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0M) of sucrose in the diluent on the viability of the aggregated morulae frozen rapidly in liquid nitrogen$(LN_2)$ vapour were examined. The morulae were produced by aggregation of ICR and CBA mice embryos at 8-cell stage. Before freezing the embryos were equilibrated in 1.5M cryoprotectants+0.25M sucrose in oae-step or in 3.0M cryoprotectants+0.25M sucrose in two-steps. The embryos were pipetted into the freezing medium fraction of 0.25ml plastic straws. The straws were frozeu by directly transfer into $LN_2$ vapour(about lcm above $LN_2$) for 2 minutes, and then plunged into $LN_2$. After thawing the cryoprotectants were diluted with 0, 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0M sucrose solution. The post-thawed in vitro viability of the aggregated embryos was significantly dependent on the type and concentration of cryoprotectants in the freezing medium and also on the concentration of sucrose in the diluent. When the aggregated embryos were equilibrated in 1.5M cryoprotectants +0.25M sucrose in one-step and diluted with 0.5M sucrose after thawing, the survival rate of the embryo5 was significantly(p<0.05) higher in DMSO(62.5%) or ethylene glycol(52.2%) than in glycerol(33.3 %). In the case that the concentration of the cryoprotectants was raised to 3.0M in two-steps, thc higher survival rate of the embryos was obtained in ethylene glycol or glycerol than in DMSO followed by diluting them with 0.5 or 1.0M sucrose after thawing(p<0.01).

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the timing and dose of human chorionic gonadotropin(hCG) on oocyte recovery, in vitro fertilization, and preimplantation development in superovulation of mouse. F1 hybrid($C57BL{\times}CBA$) mice were obtained and superovulation was induced in female mice by sequential intraperitoneal injection of PMSG and hCG. In the first series of experiments, mice received 5 IU of PMSG given intraperitoneally, and 48 hours later were injected 1 IU, 5 IU, or 10 IU of hCG respectively. In the second series of experiments, mice received 5 IU of PMSG given intraperitoneally and were injected 5IU of hCG 36, 48, or 60 hours later respectively. 1. When the mice received 5 IU of PMSG given intraperitoneally and 48 hours later were injected 1 ItT, 5 IU, or 10 IU of hCG respectively, there were no differences in the total number of the oocytes obtained from the three experimental groups. When the cultures were examined 48 hrs after the termination of insemination the proportion of unfragmented oocytes which had developed over two-cell stage was observer to be lowest in 10 IU hCG group. When the cultrues were examined 120 hour after termination of insemination the proportion of embryos which had developed to the blastocyst stage was observed to be significantly higher in 10IU hCG group than 5IU hCG group(p<0.05), but there was no difference between 10 IU hCG group and 1IU hCG group. 2. When the mice received 5 IU of PMSG and were injected 5 IU of hCG 36, 48, or 60 hours later respectively, there were no differences in the total number of oocytes obtained from the three experimental groups. When cultures were examined 48 hour after the termination of insemination the proportion of unfragmented oocytes which had developed over two-cell stage was observed to be significantly lower in 36 hour interval group than 48 hour interval and 60 hour interval group(p<0.05). When the cultures were examined 120 hour after termination of insemination the proportion of embryos which had developed to the blastocyst stage was found to be higher in 60 hour interval group than 36 interval or 48 hour interval group (P<0.05), and the proportion of hatching blastocyst was found to be higher in 60 hour interval group as well. In this study, it was concluded that the administration of adequate dose of hCG, and long (60 hour) PMSG-hCG interval were necessary in superovulation of mice($C57BL{\times}CBA$) in order to get a large number of oocytes which had an early oocytes which had an early embryonic developmental capability when fertilized in vitro, and especially it had better have been avoided to administer a large dose of hCG.
