This study develops DNA array which can detect specific sequence of human papilomavirus (HPV) by using lateral flow membrane assay which is usually used for point of care test including pregnant diagnosis. Principle of HPV DNA array is as follow; fixing DNA probe which is peculiar to HPV type 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 45 on a surface of lateral flow membrane and inducing hybridization response between probe and HPV PCR products which is obtained by using biotin-labeled MY09/l1 primers. And then, we can see the result of DNA hybridization that streptavidin labelled colloidal gold is responded with hybrid biotin. Lateral flow membrane array developed in this study confirms major HPV type economically and conveniently compared with existing HPV DNA chip method.

Thirty strains of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus were obtained from the clinical isolates. In order to investigate the pursuit of the pathogens of nosocomial infection, these strains were studied for antibiotic sensitivity as well as its resistant pattern. Among the methods of hybridization which directly confirm the specific antibiotic resistant genes by means of the recently developed specific probe DNA, dot blot hybridization and southern blot hybridization were performed and these two methods were compared in their sensitivity and specificity. Strains that is sensitive to cephalothin to the subject of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus were in 43%. Those that are sensitive to cefoperazone and cefuroxime were 26% and 23%, respectively. In case of MIC, MIC50 of cefoperazone was 8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$, and MIC90 was 128 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ to be the lowest. As the results of plasmid DNA electrophoresis, most of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains had more than 4 plasmids. These plasmids digested by BamHI, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is distributed as 10 fragments with the size of 65 kb to 1.5 kb. Dot blot hybridization were performed to examine the existence of mecA gene to show the detection rate of 50%. Southern blot hybridization were done to see if DNA bands which amplify the activity of digoxigenium-labeled probe by PCR were actually PCR products of mecA gene and it showed the detection rate of 53%. It can be concluded that the southern blot hybridization seemed to be better in sensitivity and specificity when it is compared with the results of dot blot hybridization.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern hybridization analyses were carried out to identify clones of silk worm thorn (Cudraria tricuspidata) and Rose of sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) which look like one tree with two ar three, branches or two or three different trees. For PCR five different PCR primers $(17{\sim}24\;nucleotides)$ are derived from CaMV 35S promoter, nopaline synthase terminator and coding region of thylakoid membrane protein gene. In the case of silk worm thorn, about 500 bp of PCR product was produced from DNAs of one tree or branch in the presence of 35S primer alone. Southern hybridization analysis of genomic DNAs hybridized with $^{32}P$ labeled PCR product showed that the same size of DNA fragments were hybridized with different intensities. In addition, PCR analyses using 20 different primers of OPERON 10-mer kits showed that only OPA01 primer produced PCR products of different size. These results indicate that two different trees of silk worm thorn combined to one tree. In the case of the Rose of Sharon, the same size of PCR products were produced from three different samples but Southern hybridization with the above PCR product as a probe did not show any hybridized bands. PCR analyses in the presence of OPERON 10-mers showed OPA04 and OPA13 produced different products including same sizes of products. These, results indicate that three different trees of the Rose of Sharon seem to be derived from the tree.

The dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamiyavanichii Balech, a producer of toxins causing paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), has recently been considered as one of main organisms responsible for toxication of shellfish in Japan. In this study, A. tamiyavanichii was subjected to a molecular phylogenetic analysis inferred from 28S rDNA D1-D2 sequences and a species-specific LSU rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide DNA probe was designed to identify A. tamiyavanichii using the whole cell-FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization). The sequences of the 28S rDNA D1-D2 region of A. tamiyavanichii showed no difference from A. cohorticular AF1746l4 (present name A. tamiyavanichii) and formed a distinct clade from the 'tamarensis species complex'. The probe, TAMID2, reacted specifically with A. tamiyavanichii cultured cells, without any cross-reaction with other species belonging to the same genus, including A. tamarense, A. catenella, A. affine, A. fraterculus, A. insuetum and A. pseudogonyaulax. In a test of cross-reactivity with a field sample, TAMID2 reacted consistently with only A. tamiyavanichii, indicating that the present protocol involving the TAMID2 probe might be useful for detecting toxic A. tamiyavanichii in a simple and rapid manner.

Here we report a partially aminated micropattern via direct functionalization and examine eleven different solution-phase probe DNAs hybridizing with the same target DNA on both hydrogen and oxygen terminated diamond. The hybridization intensities determined by epifluorescence microscopy were compared and are influenced strongly by the negatively charged surface and mismatched position of its sequence with immobilized probe DNA.

DNA microarray는 분자생물학에서 널리 사용되고 있는 실험 도구로써 크게 cDNA와 oligonucleotide microarray로 나뉘어진다. DNA microarray는 일련의 DNA 서열로 이루어진 probe들의 집합으로 구성되며 알려지지 않은 서열과의 hybridization 과정을 통해 특정 서열을 인식할 수 있게 된다. O1igonucieotide microarray는 cDNA 방법과는 다르게 probe를 구성하는 서열을 제작자가 임의로 구성할 수 있기 때문에 목표 서열이 가지는 고유한 부분만을 probe 서열로 사용함으로써 비용절감과 실험의 정확도를 높일 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 현재 목표 유전자 서열에 대해 probe 집합을 생성하는 결정적인 방법은 존재하지 않으며, 따라서 넓은 해 공간에서 효과적으로 최적 해를 찾아 주는 진화 연산이 probe 선택을 위한 좋은 대안으로 사용될 수 있다［1.2］. 그러나 진화연산을 이용한 probe 선택방법에 있어서 인식하고자 하는 목표 서열의 개수가 많아질 경우, 해 공간의 크기가 커짐으로 인해 문제점이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다수의 목표 유전자 서열을 대상으로 한 probe 선택 방법에 일어서 보다 효율적인 진화연산 접근 방법을 소개한다. 제시된 방법은 인식하고자 하는 목표 서얼의 일부를 선택해 이를 probe 집합의 후보로 사용하며. 유전 연산자를 이용한 진화과정을 통해 최적에 가까운 probe 집합을 찾는다. 본 논문은 GenBank로부터 유전자 서열을 대상으로 제안된 방법을 실험하였으며, 축소된 목표 서열만을 이용해 probe 집합을 선택하더라도 적합한 probe 집합을 찾을 수 있었다.

Recently, we introduced a new method for rapid screening of bacterial species- or subspecies-specific DNA probes, named “inverted dot blot hybridization screening method”. We then applied this method to develop species- or strain- specific DNA probes for Prevotella intermedia and Prevotella nigrescens. In those studies, among 96 candidate DNA probes which were screened by the new method, 5 probes were confirmed as being putatively strain-specific : 3 probes for P. nigrescens 9336 (ATCC 33563), one for each p. intermedia ATCC 25611 and one for P. nigrescens G8-9K-3 (ATCC 49046). In the present study, we evaluated by Southern blot analysis a DNA probe Pi29-L, one of the 96 candidate probes described above, whether it is specific for the strain ATCC 25611 off. intermedia. Our data show that the probe Pi29-L is potentially P. intermedia ATCC 25611-specific, which can be useful for the detection and identification of the strain, particularly in maintenance of the strain.

Coronaviridae에 속하는 transmissible gastroenteritis virus(TGEV)와 porcine epidemic diarrhea virus(PEDV)를 specific하게 detection할 수 있는 방법을 개발하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 두 바이러스 모두 RNA 바이러스이기 때문에 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)으로 nucleocapsid(N) protein gene의 cDNA를 증폭시켰다. SmaI으로 처리한 pTZ19R에 ligation시킨 후 염기서열을 밝히고자 sequencing하였다. 각각의 prototype virus와 비교하여 상동성을 밝혔다. 두 바이러스에 대한 cDNA probe를 제작하여 Southern blot hybridization을 실시하였다. TGEV의 경우 백신주인 P45와 병독주인 Miller strain을 사용하였다. cDNA를 증폭시키기 위해 N1/N1R과 N2/N2R 두 가지 primer를 이용한 결과, N1/N1R primer의 경우 586bp 크기의 PCR product를 얻을 수 있었고, N2/N2R primers로 582bp의 cDNA를 증폭시킬 수 있었다. PEDV 실험을 위하여 PED 임상 증상을 나타내는 분변을 이용하여 RT-PCR을 실시하였다. P2/P2R primer로 753bp의 PCR product를 얻을 수 있었다. TGEV의 두 가지 strain의 N protein gene을 sequencing하여 prototype인 Purdue strain과 염기서열 상동성을 조사한 결과, 97%이상의 높은 homology를 나타내었다. PED-V 역시 N protein gene을 sequencing하여 CV777과 염기서열 상동성을 조사한 결과 97%이상의 homology로 PEDV임을 알 수 있었다. TGEV와 PEDV의 염기서열을 비교한 결과 29%의 낮은 homology를 관찰할 수 있었다. 두 가지 바이러스의 N protein gene에 대한 cDNA probe를 제작하여 Southern blot hybridization을 한 결과, 각 바이러스에 매우 특이적 반응을 나타내었다.
