This study examined the disinfection conditions (exposure time, 0-30 min; exposure temperature, $4^{\circ}C-65^{\circ}C$) of hypochlorous acid water (HOCl) in automobile disinfection equipment. The study tested poliovirus type 1 (PV1), low pathogenic avian influenza virus (AIV, H9N2), and foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV, O type). As a result, the PV1 and FMD viruses were inactivated easily (virus titer 4 log value) by HOCl (> 100 ppm) but the AIV required higher exposure temperatures (> $55^{\circ}C$). In conclusion, the exposure temperature and time are important factors in deactivating AIV and FMDV.

양돈산업에 있어 돼지 써코바이러스 2형(PCV2)의 복합감염으로 인한 이유자돈의 질병 피해가 막대하다. PCV2 감염에 대한 숙주의 민감도는 상이한 것으로 알려져 있으며, 따라서 숙주의 민감도를 구분하는 것은, 이를 이용한 숙주의 저항성 향상 연구에 필수이다. 본 연구의 목적은 이유자돈군의 혈액 내에서 PCV2 바이러스에 대한 숙주의 민감도를 구분 짓고 구명하는데 있었다. 본 연구에서는 자연적으로 바이러스에 감염된 10주령의 이유자돈군으로부터 혈청을 채취하여 PCV2 바이러스량과 항체가를 측정하고 혈구분석을 실시했다. 또한, 측정된 PCV2 바이러스량과 항체가를 기준으로 자돈군 내에서 저항성군과 민감성군을 선정하였고, 통계분석결과 저항성군에 비해 민감성군에서 백혈구 수가 현저히 줄어든 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 PCV2 감염에 대한 돼지의 민감도를 구분짓기 위한 PCV2 바이러스량과 항체가를 이용한 복합기준을 제시할 수 있었으며, 이유자돈군의 PCV2 관련 질병저항성 및 백혈구감소증을 확인할 수 있는 방법을 마련하였다.

우리나라는 1995년부터 영유아를 대상으로 국가차원의 B형 간염백신 예방접종을 시작하였다. 현재 우리나라의 20대 대학생들은 신생아 정기 예방접종 시작 전후에 태어난 세대이며 영유아기에 접종을 받고 20여년이 경과되었다. 영유아를 대상으로 B형 간염 정기예방 접종 시작 후 장시간이 경과한 현 시점에서 B형 항체 보유율과 역가에 대한 확인은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 20대 대학생들의 B형 간염항체 양성률과 역가를 조사하였으며 연구대상은 2014년 4월부터 2014년 10월까지 경남 소재 대학의 대학생 262명을 대상으로 하였다. 추가접종자는 제외하였으며 간염항체의 양성판정은 10 mIU/mL이상으로 정하였다. 연구결과, B형 간염 항체의 양성률은 55.3% (145명)이었고 음성률은 44.7% (117명)이었다. 성별에 따라 양성률을 분류했을 때 여자는 57.9% (88명), 남자는 51.8% (57명)로 여자가 남자보다 높았으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 연령에 따라 역가 차이를 비교했을 때 19~20세 연령군이 21세 이상의 연령군 보다 낮은 역가를 나타냈다. 이는 본 연구의 연구대상자들이 연령군간에 나이 차이가 적고 각 연령군의 측정 대상자수가 일정하지 않았으며 인원수가 적은 군에서 역가가 높게 나오는 경우가 발생하면 해당 연령군이 상대적으로 역가가 높은 분포에 속하게 되는 것으로 생각되어 추후 고려해야할 사항으로 사료된다. 양성으로 판명된 연구대상자의 62%가 역가의 하한선인 10-99.9 mIU/mL의 낮은 역가를 나타냈다. 소아기에 접종 후 일정기간이 지나면 항체 확인검사를 하고 국가차원에서 추가접종을 추진해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

An acute fatal infectious disease in rabbits has been outbroken in Korea since 1985. This disease has been characterized as an acute hepatitis caused by viruses. However, viral pathogenesis in rabbit viral hepatitis leading to sudden death remain unclear. This report dealt with the electron microscopic findings on the spleen of experimentally infected rabbits, because spleen is one of the affected organs which have high titer of virus by a haemagglutination test. A typical crystalline array of virus was not found in the splenic cells of infected rabbits with acute hepatitis. Virus-like particles were seen within the phagosome of macrophages of the spleen. Ultrastructural changes in the spleen were severe with the lapse of time after inoculation. From these results, virus-like particles in the spleen were supposed to be phagocytosed by macrophage during viremia, while active replication of virus occurred in the liver. It was concluded that sudden death in this viral disease was caused by hepatic coma and/or circulatory disturbance.

After the outbreak of the swine-origin influenza A H1N1 virus in April 2009, World Health Organization declared this novel H1N1 virus as the first pandemic influenza virus (2009 pH1N1) of the $21^{st}$ century. To elucidate the characteristics of 2009 pH1N1, the growth properties of A/Korea/01/09 (K/09) was analyzed in cells. Interestingly, the maximal titer of K/09 was higher than that of a seasonal H1N1 virus isolated in Korea 2008 (S/08) though the RNP complex of K/09 was less competent than that of S/08. In addition, the NS1 protein of K/09 was determined as a weak interferon antagonist as compared to that of S/08. Thus, in order to confine genetic determinants of K/09, activities of two major surface glycoproteins were analyzed. Interestingly, K/09 possesses highly reactive NA proteins and weak HA cell-binding avidity. These findings suggest that the surface glycoproteins might be a key factor in the features of 2009 pH1N1.

Purpose: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) hepatitis is a usually asymptomatic and self-limiting disease in immunocompetent patients. However, the range of severity is wide, and the serological diagnosis is typically difficult until the convalescent phase. Thus, we examined the value of plasma EBV DNA real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in EBV hepatitis for the timely diagnosis and the relationship between EBV viral load and clinical severity. Methods: Sixty samples were confirmed as having EBV infection by RT-qPCR with the EBV BALF5 gene sequence. We examined the clinical characteristics of EBV hepatitis by reviewing medical records. Results: The median total duration of fever was 8 days (range: 0-13 days). The mean peak value of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was $241{\pm}214$ U/L, and the mean peak value of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was $298{\pm}312$ U/L. There was no correlation between the serum levels of liver enzyme and plasma EBV DNA titer ($p$=0.1) or between median total duration of fever and EBV DNA titer ($p$=0.056). The median age of the EBV VCA IgM-negative group was lower compared with the EBV VCA IgM-positive group in EBV hepatitis (2 years vs. 6 years, $p$=0.0009). Conclusion: The severity of EBV hepatitis does not correlate with circulating EBV DNA load according to our data. Furthermore, we suggest that plasma EBV PCR may be valuable in young infants in whom the results of serology test for EBV infection commonly are negative.

To analysis a promoter strength of Atographa californica nucler polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) IE1 gene, an immediate viral gene, ${\beta}$-glactosidase gene as a reporter gene was introduced under the control of the IE1 promoter. The restriction fragment containing IE1 promoter and ${\beta}$-galctosidase gene from pAcIE1-gal were inserter into pBacPAK9 to yield transfer vector pAcNPV-IE1-gal. The pAcNPV-IE1-gal was cotransfected with AcNPV genomic DNA BacPAK6 into Sf9 cells to produce recombinant baculovirus AcNPV-IE1-gal. In addition, recombinant bacvulovirus AcNPV-gal, which express ${\beta}$-galac-tosidase under the control of the polyhedrin promoter, was constrer, was constructed to compared with AcNPV-IE1-gal. The recombinant viruses were respectively infected into Sf9 cells and characterized by the virus titer and expression of ${\beta}$-galactoxidase in Sf9 cells. The promoter strength of IE1 and polyhedrin promoters was determined by the amount of ${\beta}$-galactosidase secreted into medium by viral infection. The titer of AcNPV-IE1-Gal determined by plaque assays in Sf9 cells was similar to that of AcNPV-gal. However, expression level of ${\beta}$-galactosidase by AcNPV-IE1-gal was significantly lower than that by AcNPV-gal. In conclusion, promoter strength of IE1 was approximately 25-fold lower than that of polyhedrin.

우리나라 연안의 9곳의 지역에 위치한 넙치종묘생산장의 성숙 친어 및 친어용 자연채집어를 대상으로 각각의 생식소를 채집하여 체내 MABV 감염상황을 PCR법을 이용하여 검색한 결과 검사어의 34%가 MABV 감염 양성반응을 나타내었다. PCR 반응양성 어류의 샘플로부터 CHSE-214 세포주를 이용한 바이러스의 배양을 행한 결과, 친어 체내 생식소에 있어 바이러스 감염가가 $10^{2.30}$에서 $10^{4.30}$ $TCID_{50}$/g(ml)의 titer를 보여, 정상적인 친어로 보이는 개체내의 바이러스 잠복감염이 인정되었다. 각각의 다른 어체로부티 분리되어진 바이러스는 중화반응에 따른 검토결과 동일종의 MABV임을 확인할 수 있었다. 종묘생산용으로 관리중인 넙치 친어로 부터 MABV의 잠복감염 확인으로 친어를 매개로한 감염의 가능성이 확인되어졌다.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-l) based lentivirus vector has demonstrated great potential as gene therapy vectors mediating efficient gene delivery and long-term transgene expression in both dividing and nondividing cells. However, for clinical studies it must be confirmed that vector preparations are safe and not contaminated by replication competent lentivirus (RCL) related to the parental pathogenic virus, HIV-l. In this study, we would like to establish the method for titration and RCL detection of lentivirus vector. The titration was determined by vector expression containing the green fluorescent protein, GFP in transduced cells. The titer was $1{\times}10^7$ Transducing Unit/ml in the GFP expression assay and $8.9{\times}10^7$ molecules/ml in the real-time PCR. Also, for the detection of RCL, we have used a combination method of PCR and p24 antigen detection. First, PBS/psi and VSV-G region in the genomic DNA of transduced cells was detected by PCR assay. Second, transfer and expression of the HIV-1 gag gene was detected by p24 ELISA. In an attempt to amplify any RCL, the transduced cells were cultured for 3 weeks (amplification phase) and the supernatant of amplified transduced cell was used for the second transduction to determine whether a true RCL was present (indicator phase). Analysis of cells and supernatant at day 6 in indicator phase were negative for PBS/psi, VSV-G, and p24 antigen. These results suggest that they are not mobilized and therefore there are no RCL in amplification phase. Thus, real-time PCR is a reliable and sensitive method for titration and RCL detection of lentivirus vector.
