Biochips are a powerful emerging technology for biomedical, environmental applications. Especially, making use of bioseonors in the evaluation of toxicity becomes increasingly important. For biosensor as a toxicity detection, biomolecules like antibodies or aptamers have been developed to specifically capture the toxic target molecules. In addition, the development of optimal chip materials capable of maintaining the activity of embedded biomolecules such as proteins or aptamers has proven challenging. Here, using sol-gel materials, new chip material, whose ability for immobilizing the embedded aptamers and maintaining the ability of embedded aptamers is optimal, was searched. We used sol-gel formulation screening methods previously developed and found the best formulation which shows high sensitive and specific interactions of aptamers. This study results will support the technological advancement for diagnosis and environmental sensor.

Interleukin 32 (IL-32) is a recently identified cytokine that induces major proinflammatory cytokines such as $TNF{\alpha}$ and IL-$1{\beta}$, which play an important role in chronic inflammatory diseases. To antagonize the biological function of IL-32 in cells, we generated RNA aptamers that could bind specifically to IL-32 protein. The highest affinity aptamer, AC3-3, successfully antagonized IL-32 by abolishing the induction of $TNF{\alpha}$ in the human lung carcinoma cells expressing IL-32. This aptamer could be used as a potent and selective antagonist against IL-32 to further elucidate the roles of IL-32 in chronic inflammatory diseases, as well as a therapeutic agent.

Salmonella spp. is the most common cause of gastrointestinal food poisoning worldwide, and human salmonellosis is mostly caused by the consumption of contaminated food. Therefore, the development of rapid detection methods for Salmoenlla spp. and rapid identification of the source of infection by subtyping are important for the surveillance and monitoring of food-borne salmonellosis. Therefore, this review introduces (1) History and nomenclature of Salmoenlla spp., (2) Epidemiology of Salmoenlla spp., (3) Detection methods for Salmoenlla spp. - conventional culture method, genetic detection method, molecular detection methods, and aptamer, and (4) Subtyping methods for Salmoenlla spp. - pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

C형 간염바이러스(hepatitis C virus; HCV)증식을 효과적이며 특이적으로 제어할 수 있는 유전산물을 개발하기 위하여 HCV 중식조절이자인 NS5B RNA replicase 존재에 의해 allosteric하게 그 활성 이 조절될 수 있는 HCV internal ribosome entry site (IRES) 표적 hammerhead 리보자임을 개발하였다. 우선 HCV IRES 염기서열 중+382 nucleotide(nt) 부위가 리보자임에 의해 가장 잘 인식되었음을 관찰하였다. 이러한 allosteric 리보자임은 NS5B RNA replicase와 특이적으로 결합하는 RNA aptamer 부위, aptamer와 NS5B와의 결합에 의해 리보자임 활성을 유도할 수 있도록 구조적 변이를 전달할 수 있는 communication module부위 및 HCV IRES의 +382 nt를 인지하는 hammerhead 리보자임 등으로 구성되도록 설계하였다. 특히 in vitro selection기법을 활용하여 NS5B 의존적으로 리보자임 활성을 증가시킬 수 있는 communication module 염기서열을 밝혀내었다. 이러한 리보자임은 단백질이 없거나 대조 단백질인 bovine serum albumin이 존재할 때에는 절단반응을 유도하지 못하였으나 HCV NS5B 단백질이 존재할 매에만 효과적으로 NS5B 농도 의존적으로 절단 반응을 유도할 수 있음을 관찰하였다. 이러한 allosteric 리보자임은 HCV중식의 효과적인 증식 억제 선도물질 뿐만 아니라 HCV 치료선도물질의 스크리닝용 도구 및 HCV 조절 인자를 탐색할 수 있는 HCV 진단용 리간드로서도 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
