This research aims to develop DNA chip array without an indicator. We fabricated microelectrode array by photolithography technology. Several DNA probes were immobilized on an electrode. Then, indicator-free target DNA was hybridized by an electrical force and measured electrochemically. Cyclic-voltammograms (CVs) showed a difference between DNA probe and mismatched DNA in an anodic peak. Immobilization of probe DNA and hybridization of target DNA could be confirmed by fluorescent. This indicator-free DNA chip microarray resulted in the sequence-specific detection of the target DNA quantitatively ranging from $10^{-18}\;M\;to\;10^{-5}$ M in the buffer solution. This indicator-free DNA chip resulted in a sequence-specific detection of the target DNA.

The determination of DNA hybridization can apply the molecular biology research, clinic diagnostics, bioengineering, environment monitoring, food science and other application area. So, The determination of hybridization is very important for the improvement of DNA detection system. In this study, we report the characterization of the DNA hybridization by the electricalchemical methods. A new electrochemical biosensor is described for voltammetric detection of gene sequence related to probe oligonucleotide of bacterium Escherichia coli O157:H7. The biosensor involves the immobilization of a 18-mer probe oligonucleotide, which is complemetary to a specific gene sequence related to Escherichia coli O157:H7 on a gold electrode through specific adsorption. The probe oligonucleotide was used to determine the amount of target oligonucleotide in solution using mitoxantrone(MTX) as the electrochemical indicators. The cathodic peak currents $(I_{peak})$ of MTX were linearly related to the concentration of the target oligonucleotide sequence in the range $1[{\mu}M]{\sim}0.1[nM]$. The detection limit of this approach was 0.01[nM]. In addition, these indicators were capable of selectivity discriminating against various mismatching condition.

Objectives The present study was designed to systematically characterize the denaturation and the renaturation of double stranded DNA (dsDNA), which is suitable for DNA hybridization. Methods A series of physical and chemical denaturation methods were implemented on well-defined 86-bp dsDNA fragment. The degree of each denaturation was measured and the most suitable denaturation method was determined. DNA renaturation tendency was also investigated for the suggested denaturation method. Results Heating, beads mill, and sonication bath did not show any denaturation for 30 minutes. However probe sonication fully denatured DNA in 5 minutes. 1 mol/L sodium hydroxide (alkaline treatment) and 60% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) treatment fully denatured DNA in 2-5 minutes. Conclusions Among all the physical methods applied, the direct probe sonication was the most effective way to denature the DNA fragments. Among chemical methods, 60% DMSO was the most adequate denaturation method since it does not cause full renaturation during DNA hybridization.

The purpose of this study is to develop species-specific DNA probe for detection and identification of Prevotella intermedia (P. intermedia) G8-9K-3. This study procedure includes (1) whole-genomic DNA extraction of P. intermedia G8-9K-3 (2) construction of the genomic DNA library, (3) screening of strain-specific DNA probe by reverse dot hybridization, (4) confirmation of strain-specific DNA probe by Southern blot hybridization, (5) determination of nucleotide sequences of strain-specific DNA probe. Twenty-eight recombinant plasmids containing Hind III-digested DNA fragments of P. intermedia G8-9K-3 were obtained. Reverse Dot Hybridization and Southern blot analysis data showed that one of them, Pig3, could be P. intermedia G8-9K-3-specific DNA probe. This datum indicates that this Pig3 DNA probe could be useful in detection and identification of the P. intermedia G8-9K-3 strain.

The gene coding for $\beta$-galactosidase of Neisseria lactamica 2118 was cloned into Escherichia coli MC 1061. The isolated 6.5 Kb EcoR I fragement and 7.2 Kb BamH I fragment of chromosomal DNA in Southern hybridization were ligated to a vector plasmid pBR322 and then transformed into Escherichia coli MC 1061 cells. Finally, I obtained three clones as $\beta$-galactosidase positive clone by colony hybridization and Southern hybridization($\beta$-galactosidase probe: lac Z gene of pMC1871). Three recombinant plasmids(pNL.13. 17 and 24) were found to contain the 7.2Kb BamH I fragment originated from Neisseria lactamica 2118 chromosomal DNA by Southern hybridization and pNL 24 was showed high homology to probe especially and also its physical map was constructed.

A microtiter well plate DNA hybridization method using Mycobacterium kansasii-specific rpoB DNA probe (kanp) were evaluated for the detection of M. kansasii from culture isolates. Among the 201 isolates tested by this method, 27 strains show positive results for M. kansasii, but the other 174 isolates were negative results for M. kansasii. This result was consistent with partial rpoB sequence analysis of M. kansasii and the result of biochemical tests. The negative strains by this DNA-DNA hybridization method were identified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (159 strains), Mycobacterium avim (5 strains), Mycobacterium intracellulare (8 strains), and Mycobacterium flavescens (2 strain) by rpoB DNA sequence analysis. Due to high sensitivity and specificity of this test result, we suggest that DNA-DNA hybridization method using rpoB DNA probes of M. kansasii could be used for the rapid and convenient detection of M. kansasii.

High throughput analysis using a DNA chip microarray is powerful tool in the post genome era. Less labor-intensive and lower cost-performance is required. Thus, this paper aims to develop the multi-channel type label-free DNA chip and detect SNP (Single nucleotide polymorphisms). At first, we fabricated a high integrated type DNA chip array by lithography technology. Various probe DNAs were immobilized on the microelectrode array. We succeeded to discriminate of DNA hybridization between target DNA and mismatched DNA on microarray after immobilization of a various probe DNA and hybridization of label-free target DNA on. the electrodes simultaneously. This method is based on redox of an electrochemical ligand.

Molecular diagnostic techniques have been used to identify porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), a causative agent of acute enteritis in swine, but they were difficult to be petformed and time-consuming. To detect PEDV in a rapid and easy way, we developed biotinylated cDNA probe for N gene encoding the nucleoproteins of PEDV. Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues from 24 naturally infected pigs were used for the experiment. The ISH produced a positive reaction in all cases. When intestinal tissues were hybridized with PEDV probe, strong signals were seen in the villus enterocytes of the jejunum and ileum. Hybridization signals were also found in the duodenum from one pig and in colon from dnother. In conclusion, ISH with a biotinylated cDNA probe was provided to be a useful diagnostic method for detecting PEDV effectively in routinely processed tissue sections.
