2 Collecting bee venom by electric shock device Bee venom collector made in Korea Placing the collector frames at entrance Collect for 30 min 2/25

3 Harvest bee venom Off wires and glass plates Dried bee venom on the glass Scraped off using a sharp scraperand collected bee venom 3/25

4 Purified bee venom Before purification After purification Commercial purified bee venom 4/25

11 CFU assay for bee venom Purified bee venom (PBV) has antimicrobial activity against P. acnes. (A) Various concentrations of PBV were incubated with P. acnes for 4 hr at 37 C and tested for antimicrobial activity using the CFU assay. (B) The antimicrobial activity of PBV in a qualitative CFU assay which involved plating PBV with P. acnes on solid media and counting individual colonies to determine the CFU.

12 Electron micrographs (A) SEM analysis demonstrated the effect of PBV on the surface of P. acnes as compared to the surfaces of untreated control bacteria. (B) TEM revealed that PBV treatment disrupted the sharply layered surface architecture of P. acnes, making the cell wall less distinct and more permeable to fluid influx. 12/32

13 Cytotoxicity in human cells human epidermal keratinocyte (HEK) human monocytic THP-1 Cytotoxicity of BV on human epidermal keratinocyte (HEK) and human monocytic (THP-1). Cells were cultured with the indicated concentrations of BV in media at 37 for 24 or 48 h. The viability of cells was determined by the MTT assay

14 Antiinflammation effects BV inhibits P.acnes induced secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. Doesdependent effect of BV on P. acnes-induced TNF-α release. THP-1 cells were stimulated with or without heat-killed P. acnes, and then the supernatants were harvested.

15 Antiinflammation effects PBV inhibits P.acnes induced secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. Doesdependent effect of BV on P. acnes-induced IL-8 release. THP-1 cells were stimulated with or without heat-killed P. acnes, and then the supernatants were harvested.
