  • We isolated 100 Vobrio sp. from marine products and sea from July to September, 1997. We attemped on purification of hemolysin produced by Vibrio sp. The growth, hemolysin production patterns by the 100 strains of Vibrio sp. showed identical, in general. V. unlnificus ys-1 produced hemolysis as the higtest titer. The optimal culture conditions for the hemolysin production by the V. vunificus ys-1 are followings; 1. Hemolysin production was optimal dering the late exponetial phage. 2. Maximal growth, hemolysin production were in heart infusion broth. 3. Maximal yields of hemolysin was obtained when the heart infusion broth had an intial pH of 8.0, 3$0^{\circ}C$, 3% NaCL. Hemolysin was purified from culture filtrate of the strain by ammonium sulfate recipitation, ion exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The results were as follows; 1. Hemogeneity of the purified hemolysin was demonstrated by revealing single band on SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight of purified hemolysin was 45KDa. 2. The absorbance rattern in ultraviolet wsa typical of those seen with most proteinb with 280nm. 3. Purified hemolysin was atable at 5$0^{\circ}C$ but 7$0^{\circ}C$ of the acivity was lost by heating for 30 min at 6$0^{\circ}C$/ Optimal temperature of purified hemolysin was 35$^{\circ}C$. 4. Purified hemolysin was stable at the pH range of 6~9, but in the less the pH5.0. above the pH 9.0, the hemolysin activity was lost completely.

  • This study was purposed to produce blood typing reagents for classifing Cheju horse's blood group factors. The blood typing reagents were prepared by immunization of sixteen pairs out of fourty eight heads of Cheju horses, and seventeen different blood typing reagents (anti-$A_1$, A', H, Z, $ZZ_2$, C, J, K, $P_1$, Q, R, S, $T_1$, $N_1$, $U_2$, X and $E_2$) were prepared from equine isoimmunization. The result for the reagent production and the variation of agglutinin and hemolysin titer are as follows: 1. Anti-K, R, S, $N_1$, $U_2$ and X acted exclusively as hemolysins whereas anti-J, $P_1$, $T_1$ and $E_2$ acted exclusively as agglutinins, however, Anti-$A_1$, A', H, Z, $ZZ_2$, C and Q reacted both as hemolysins and agglutinins. 2. Among the antibodies in most of the reagents reacted both as hemolysins and agglutinins, But anti-$A_1$, H, Z, $ZZ_2$ and Q elevated higher agglutin titers than hemolysin titers, Anti-A' and anti-C elevated higher hemolysin titers than agglutinin titers. 3. Complex antibody $A_1U_2$ was adsorbed $U_2$ and unified to $A_1$, while complex antibody X $N_1$ went through an adsorption process and produced simple antibody X and $N_1$, respectively. 4. In the hemolytic reaction, anti-K and anti-R showed the highest titer, In the agglutination reaction, anti-Z and anti-$ZZ_2$ showed the highest titer. 5. In the case of No.138~No.140 horse immunization combination and No.133~No.146 horse immunization combination, Although production of complex antibody $CE_2$ and $JP_1$ were expected, only anti-$E_2$ and anti-J were produced respectively. 6. The degree of elevation of antibody titer was varied by the blood types and by the types of donor and recipient combination. The fast elevating types, slow elevating types and types that never elevate the antibody titer were identified.

  • Effect of the egg yolks from laying hens intubated, p.o., astaxanthin (designated AEY) on mouse humoral immunity was investigated using male ICR mouse (6~7 weeks of age). Mice were adapted in a temperature- and humidity- controlled house for one week and randomly divided into 5 treatment groups (9 mice/cage/treatment). Mice were intubated p.o., AEY (100, 250 and 500$\mu\textrm{g}$) or control egg yolks (CEY, 250$\mu\textrm{g}$), dissolved in 0.1 mL DMSO, for consecutive 4 days. At day 5, carbon suspension (pilot drawing ink 3 mL+3% gelatine 3 mL) was injected 3 $\mu$L Per 1 g body weight through tail vein. Carbon clearance time was measured at 5 and 35 minutes Post the injection of carbon suspension. Another two experiments were conducted to determine the hemagglultinin-titer (HGT) and hemolysin-titer (HLT) with male ICR mouse (8 mice/cage/treatment). Mice treated with AEY were induced immune activity with SRBC. HGT and HLT were measured from the blood at day 1 and 3 after treatment of SRBC. AEY treatment reduced the carbon clearance time. Especially the carbon clearance time by 500 $\mu\textrm{g}$ AEY treatment was 5.00 minutes, which was very short time compared with 9.42 minutes by control and 9.01 minutes by CEY. AEY group showed slights higher values of HGT and HLT than CEY group and control. At day 1, HGT in control, 250$\mu\textrm{g}$ CEY and 250$\mu\textrm{g}$ AEY groups was 5.50, 5.63, and 6.00, respectively. Similiarly, HLT in control, 250$\mu\textrm{g}$ CEY and 250$\mu\textrm{g}$ AEY groups was 4.75, 5.38, and 5.50, respectively, at day 1. These results suggest that AEY exhibited immunity-enhancing effect.

  • The activities of twenty-one flavonoids and their related compounds on the hypersensitivity reaction against various antigens were studied in vitro and in vivo. 1. Generally flavonoids inhibited significantly the homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) induced by reaginic antibody as compared as anaphylaxis by compound 48/80-induced mast cell degranulation, and so more strongly active in the IgE-mediated anaphylaxis than non-IgE-mediated anaphylaxis. 2. Flavonids inhibited remarkably Arths reaction, hemolysin titer, delayed hypersensitivity, haemagglutinin titer, rosette forming cells and plague forming cells against sheep red blood cells, and so it exhibited that flavonoids inhibited type 2, 3 and 4 hypersensitivity. 3. Quercetin, kaempferol, hesperetin, disodium cromoglycate, malvin and baicalein were active dose-dependently in the all types of hypersensitivity. Fisetin, daidzein, morin, narigin, flavone, catechin, rutin, hesperidin, neophsperidin, apigenin and chrysin were significantly active in the various types of hypersensitivity, but apigenin, rutin and catechin were less active in the delayed hypersensitivity. Taxifolin was significantly active in PCA and histamine-induced anaphylaxis except other types of hypersensitivity. Rotenone and cyanin also inhibited all types of hypersensitivity, but they are toxic. 4. Based on these results from hypersensitivity, the following flavonoid structure-activity relationships became apparent. 1) Flavonoids with $C_{2-3}$ double bond in C-ring were more active than that of $C_{2-3}$ saturation. 2) Flavonoids with $C_4$ ketone group in C-ring were more active than abscence of them except catechin and malvin. 3) Flavonoids with benzene ring at positions 2 or 3 in C-ring exhibited same activities. 4) Flavonoids with opening of the C-ring does not abolish their activities. 5) The glycosylated flavonoids in position 3 or 7 was less active than their aglycone. 6) Flavonoids with the more hydroxy group in A and B-ring were more active. 7) Flavonoids with or without $C_3-OH$ did not change their activities.
