    The most widely used means of preparing affinity adsorbents is the CNBr method by Axén et. al.. Unfortunately, the adsorbents prepared by this method have serious disadvantages : the non-specific adsorption and the leakage of the ligand. The nonspecific adsorption is due to the ion-exchanging properties of isourea derivatives formed between ligand and agarose and can be avoided by using hydrazides for the binding on CNBr-activated agarose. The leakage of the ligand is attributed to the instability of the isourea bond and can be prevented by using polyvalent spacers. Polyacrylhydrazido-agarose has been used for these reasons. The epoxy method has been used to prepare the adsorbents without these problems. However, another problem is encountered with this method, the requirement for high temperature and/or hight pH during the coupling step. To circumvent this problem, the new procedure has been devised for the conversion of epoxy group into more reactive group. The preparation of the adsorbents by these methods and their application to affinity chromatography are presented in this paper.

    Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is a method of measuring very minute amounts of substances employing the competitive binding of the substance to be measured and its radioisotope-labelled compound to the antibody. The method was first established by S. A. Berson and R. S. Yalow for insulin, and is now applied to a wide variety of hormones, body components and drugs. This brief review describes generalized assay procedures and the important reagents such as radioisotope-labelled compounds and radioiodination, assay standards, and preparation of antisera and their essential nature. Assay results given by RIA are not always agree with those obtained by biological assay if the antigenic determinant and biological active site are different. Such a characteristic feature of RIA led to the discoveries of the precursors of polypeptide hormones in their biosynthetic pathways, and gave further development of the endocrinological research field.

    The bases and principles of the different enzyme immunoassay (EIA) techniques for antigens, haptens and antibodies are described. Substances for which EIAs have been developed and several EIA kits available are listed. The enzymes used as labels, the methods of linking them to haptens, antigens and antibodies, and the methods for separating free and bound labeled materials are also described. EIA for cyclic AMP which we have developed is shown as a practical example. EIA methods overcome some of the limitations of radioimmunoassay and because of their great advantages of sensitivity, cost and convenience, those methods should become a normal part of the work of the clinical laboratory.

    Recently a number of layered compounds, especially layered cyclophanes, with polycyclic aromatic nuclei have been reported. Such compounds, in which condensed aromatic rings are closely fixed with each other, or with other π-systems, often show unusual physical and chemical properties. In this review synthetic methods for layered cyclophanes are classified into eleven categories and reactivities of the compounds are described.

    N- [(N-Nitrosoalkylamino) methyl] amides were recently reported from author's laboratory as new precursors for generating diazoalkanes. This review introduces N- [(N-nitrosoalkylamino) methyl] -carbamates and N- [(N-nitr osoalkylamino) methyl] benzamides as new diazoalkane-generating agents with their superiorities for practical use and stable diazoalkane-reagents, N, N-dialkyl-4-diazome-thylbenzenesulfonamides, prepared in this way, as new UV-detective labelling agents for acidic substances.

    Japan's surfactant industry is described in terms of production classified by toiletry soap and detergent for household use (product statistics) and for industrial use (product statistics) and how the trend shifts. Allusion is specially made to surfactants for industrial use for its losing profitability in spite of their being categolized as fine chemicals, because of small volume business, covering many areas of usage. Synthetic process of major surfactant from raw materials and how it is related to the applied use of surfactants and their surface activity is also described.
    According to the auther's calculation, Japan's surfactant production in 1978 amounts to approximately 400, 000 tons, active ingredient basis.
