We report for the first time the occurrence of DWV-infected bumble bees (Bombus ignitus). For the present study, the detection of DWV virus from the female and male bumble bee was investigated in the same colony. The Deformed wing virus (DWV) of honeybee (Apis mellifera) is closely associated with characteristic wing deformities, abdominal bloating, paralysis, and rapid mortality of emerging adult bees. Using specific RT-PCR protocols for the detection of DWV followed by sequencing of the PCR products we could demonstrate that the bumble bees were indeed infected with DWV. The virus was detected from Bombus ignitus, and its partial DWV gene was cloned and sequenced. The partial DWV gene encoding the polyprotein is 711-nt of 235 amino acid residues. The deduced nucleotide sequence of the polyprotein partial gene of DWV showed 96.9%, 96.2%, 96.8%, and 96.5% homology to other structure polyprotein partial gene of DWV from insects, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis further conformed that the deduced nucleotide sequence of the polyprotein partial gene of DWV divided to the outside tree. We describe the first time that presence of Deformed wing virus(DWV) from bumble bee(Bombus terrestris) in korea using RT-PCR.

Deformed wing virus (DWV) of honeybees (Apis mellifera) is closely associated with characteristic wing deformities, abdominal bloating, paralysis, and rapid mortality of emerging adult bees. Here, we report for the first time the occurrence of DWV-infected bumble bees (Bombus terrestris). For the present study, the detection of DWV virus from the adult bumble bee, death adult bumble bee, mail bumble bee, pupa and larva to the infection cycle was investigated in the same colony. Using specific RT-PCR protocols for the detection of DWV followed by sequencing of the PCR products we could demonstrate that the bumble bees were indeed infected with DWV. The virus was detected from diseased insects, and its partial DWV gene was cloned and sequenced. The partial DWV gene encoding the polyprotein is 711-nt of 235 amino acid residues. The deduced nucleotide sequence of the polyprotein partial gene of DWV showed 96.9%, 96.2%, 96.8%, and 96.5% homology to other structure polyprotein partial gene of DWV, respectively.

This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of chestnut honey which were harvested at various areas in South Korea. First at all, we measured the total phenols content through a spectrophotometric determination with a modified Folin-Ciocalteu method and total flavonoids content determined with aluminium chloride. Total phenolic compounds was highest in Sunchang of Chestnut honey(2.21mg/ml)and flavonoids contents was also the highest in Sunchang of Chestnut honey(1.02mg/ml) than other samples. For measured the antioxidant activity of chestnut honey, we performed DPPH(2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) test and FRAP(ferric reducing-antioxidant assay)test. DPPH scavenging activity highest in Sunchang of Chestnut honey more than 50% DPPH scavenging activitywhile other samples (Gong-ju, Yechen, Chung-ju, Imsil, Ha-dong) showed more than 25% DPPH scavenging activity. The ferric reducing-antioxidant assay (FRAP) is based on the reduction of ferric 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine [Fe(III)-TPTZ] by spectrophotometric analysis. Sunchang were found to have more than 532μM FRAP activity while other samples (Gong-ju, Yechen, Chung-ju, Imsil, Ha-dong) showed more than 300μM FRAP activity. The results suggested that chestnut honey strong antioxidant activity and it could be utilized as a source of natural antioxidant.

COPRISIN is an antibiotic substance extracted from Copris tripartitus. This study is intended to identify various cell biological stimuli that COPRISIN, widely known as an antibacterial substance, has on human cells and to identify its molecule mechanism. A variety of human cell lines were divided into epithelial cells including kidney cells or womb cells, and immunocyte including T cells or macrophages and, after their being cultivated and maintained, cell biological changes of the respective cells according to COPRISIN treatment were compared. As a result, it was confirmed that, different from other experiment cells, COPRISIN specifically caused cell kill in T cells and macrophages. That is, fragmentation of DNA, typical characteristics observed in the process of apoptosis, was confirmed in the nucleus of cells dying owing to COPRISIN treatment. An Apoptosis process is one dependent upon activity of caspase family protein, it was proved that COPRISIN medium cell kill process was one through a caspase-independent route such as AIF. Though it was found out that transcription of TNF-α and extracellular TNF-α secretion increased in blood cells stimulated by COPRISIN, it was also confirmed that TNF-α was a major medium factor in a COPRISIN induced cell kill process from the fact that a cell kill process by COPRISIN was not inhibited at all with TNF-α inhibiting antibody treatment. Above results revealed that COPRISIN, different from other tissue origin cells including kidney cells, can specifically induce apoptosis in immunocyte, which is caused by a caspase-independent cell signal transmission route.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV), a member of the Alphaherpesviridae, is the causative agent of Aujeszky’s disease in pigs. Glycoprotein B (gB) of PRV, a major constituent of the viral envelope, consists of 916 amino acids. We continuously combined three gB epitopes, E1 (aa 62-129), E2 (aa 217-282), and E3 (aa 543-737). The DNA fragment containing the PRV gB epitopes was fused with polyhedrin gene in order to generate recombinant baculovirus that expresses the recombinant polyhedra with PRV gB epitopes under the control of the Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus polyhedrin promoter. Recombinant baculoviruses were injected into fifth-instar B. mori larvae. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analyses revealed that recombinant polyhedra constitute polyhedrin and PRV gB epitopes, and that the recombinant PRV gB epitopes showed cross-reactivity against antiserum of PRV gB produced from pig. To examine the immunogenicity of recombinant PRV gB epitopes, we injected into mice as model animals. ELISA results indicated that antibody production is increased in a similar manner in the injection of recombinant polyhedra with PRV gB epitopes, either injected recombinant polyhedra as a granule form antigen without adjuvant or injected recombinant polyhedrin as a soluble form antigen with adjuvant. Taken together, these data show that PRV gB epitopes were produced as a granule form antigen by fusing recombinant polyhedra in baculovirus-infected silkworm larvae and displayed the immunogenicity in mice, indicating the efficacy of the granule form antigen as a PRV gB vaccine.
