Abstract

Apolipophorin-III (apoLp-III) was isolated and purified from the last instar larval hemolymph of Galleria mellonella by gel chromatography (Sephadex G-100) and ion exchange chromatography (CM-52). In the present study, I wanted to show that apoLp-III is taken up into the adult ovary in Galleria mellonella. Adult ovary tissues were incubated at room temperature for 30 min with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled apoLp-III. Fluorescence microscopy and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) revealed that adult ovary tissues internalize fluorescence-labeled apoLp-III. The results suggest that apoLp-III is taken up by the adult ovary.

아포리포포린-III를 꿀벌부채명나방 종령유충 혈림프에서 젤크로마토그래피 (Sephadex G-100)와 이온교환크로마토그래피 (CM-52)방법을 이용하여 분리, 정제하였다. 본 연구에서는 아포리포포린-III가 꿀벌부채명나방의 성충난소에 의해 흡수되는 지를 조사하였다. 성충난소조직을 형광물질로 표지한 아포리포포린-III와 상온에서 30분간 배양하였다. 배양결과를 형광현미경과 전기영동을 이용하여 확인한 결과 형광물질로 표지된 아포리포포린-III가 성충난소로 흡수된다는 사실을 알았다.
