In this study, an integrated microelectrode array was fabricated on glass slide using microfabrication technology. Probe DNAs consisting of mercaptohexyl moiety at their 5-end were spotted on the gold electrode using micropipette or DNA arrayer utilizing the affinity between gold and sulfur. Cyclic voltammetry in 5mM ferricyanide/ferrocyanide solution at 100 mV/s confirmed the immobilization of probe DNA on the gold electrodes. When several DNAs were detected electrochemically, there was a difference between target DNA and control DNA in the anodic peak current values. It was derived from specific binding of Hoechst 33258 to the double stranded DNA due to hybridization of target DNA. It suggested that this DNA chip could recognize the sequence specific genes. It suggested that multichannel electrochemical DNA microarray is useful to develop a portable device for clinical gene diagnostic system.

Detection and distribution of bovine viral diarrhea virus(BVDV) was studied in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from two naturally infected cattle by in situ hybridization with a non-radioactive biotinylated probe. A 600 base pair cDNA probe from BVDV B-25 strain was used for probe. The whole procedure of ISH to diagnose was carried out within 1~2 hours in $Microprobe^{TM}$ capillary action system. The biotin-labelled probe was demonstrated after hybridization under standard conditions by the application of streptoavidin and biotinylated alkaline phosphatase. Alkaline phosphatase was visualized using a fast red TR/naphthol phosphatase and the sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. We have obtained the result of positive reactions in digestive tract(sm1.all intestine and colon) and epidermis of tongue in the state of the intact tissues. The result suggested that in situ hybridization method can be considered as a useful diagnostic technique for detection of specific nucleic acid sequences of BVDV.

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. The probe oligonucleotide was used to determine the amount of target oligonucleotide in solution using Methylen Blue(MB) as the electrochemical indicators. The cathodic peak currents($I_{peak}$) of MB were linearly related to the concentration of the target oligonucleotide sequence in the range $1[{\mu}M]{\sim}0.1[{\mu}M]$. The detection limit of this approach was 0.01[nM]. As a result, the match oligonucleotide(CR-1) was most stable state and the peak of redox current measured by DNA hybridization detection sensors by using electrochemical method seem to be similar to 1-mer terminal mismatch oligonucleotide(MR-3). The MR-2, MR-3, MR-22 and MR-33 have each mismatching sequence of central and terminal. With this set the role of point mutations was to be investigated. Terminal mismatch oligonucleotide (MR-3, 33) is shown more stable state than central mismatch oligonucleotide(MR-2, 22). And 1-mer mismatch oligonucleotide(MR-2 or 3) is shown more stable state than 2-mer mismatch oligonucleotide(MR-22 or 33).

The purpose of this study was to establish early diagnostic methods for the detection of Aujeszky's disease viral antigens and nucleic acid in nasal cells, and buffy coats from experimentally infected living pigs by a combination of immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization with digoxigenin(DIG)-labled probe and electron microscopy. Forty days old piglets were inoculated intranasally with $10^{7.0}TCID_{50}$ of Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV, NYJ-1-87 strain). The viral antigens and nucleic acid of ADV were detected in nasal cells, and buffy coat for 20 days after inoculation by immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization with DIG-labeled probe and electron microscopical method. The results were compared with conventional methods such as a porcine Aujeszky's disease serodiagnostic(PAD) kit, neutralization test(NT) and virus isolation. 1. The viral antigens, nucleic acids and capsids of ADV were detected in nasal cells, buffy coats from 3 days to 20 days after inoculation by immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization with DIG-labeled probe and electron microscopy, respectively. 2. When viral antigens were detected by the immunocytochemical technique, a diffuse brown deposit was observed in the nucleus and cytoplasm of nasal cells, buffy coats and PK-15 cells under a microscope. 3. DIG-labeled DNA probe was prepared by amplification of conserved sequence of recombinant ADV-gp50 clone with polymerase chain reacction. When ADV-DNA was detected by ISH with DIG-labeled probe, purplish blue pigmentation were observed in the nuclei and cytoplasms of ADV-infected cells under a microscope. Positive signals were observed in nasal cells and in the buffy coat and PK-15 cells at the first day after inoculation. 4. Where ADV-capsids were detected by transmission electron microscopical method, aggregation of capsids was observed in the nuclei and cytoplasms of nasal cells, buffy coats and PK-15 cells. The results suggested that these methods were considered as the highly sensitive and reliable tools for rapid and confirmative diagnosis of Aujeszky's disease in living pigs.

Campylobacter jejuni 에 열처리를 했을 때 그들의 생존성 및 열충격 단백질 합성의 양상과 더불어, dnaK 와 groESL 유전자를 이용하여 C. jejuni 의 열충격 유전자를 검출하여 그 특성을 E. coli 의 열충격 유전자와 비교하였다. C. jejuni 의 열충격 단백질은 48.deg.C 에서 가장 잘 발형되었으며, 48.deg.C 에서 30 분간의 처리중 세포들의 생존율은 떨어지지 않았다. C. jejuni 의 열충격 단백질로서의 Hsp90, Hsp66, Hsp60 이 합성되는 것을 SDS-PAGE 및 방사선사진법을 통해 확인하였다. dnaK 와 groESL 을 DNA 탐침자로 이용하여 Southern hybridization 한 결과, C. jejuni 의 열충격 유전자도 groESL 과 dnaK 유전자와 상동성을 가진 염기서열을 가지고 있었으나, 두 균주사이에는 열충격유전자를 내포하고 있는 DNA 상에서 제한효소의 절단부위에 차이가 있었다.

A cDNA clone coding for ribosomal protein 46 (rp46) which is a component of 60S ribosomal large subunit has been identified from Drosophila melanogaster. A cDNA clone encoding S. cerevisiae rp46 was used as a probe to screen a Drosophila larvae cDNA library. The DNA sequence analysis revealed that the cDNA coding for Drosophils rp46 contains a complete reading frame of 153 nucleotides coding for 51 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence showed 71-75% homology with those of other eukaryotic organisms. Northern blot analysis showed that about 1-kb rp46 transcripts are abundant throughout fly development. Whole mount embryonic mRNA in situ hybridization also showed no preferential distribution of the transcripts to any specific region. The chromosomal in situ hybridization revealed that the identified gene is localized at position 60C on the right arm of the second polytene chromosome with a possibility of single copy.

Xanthomonas campestris pv. glycines causes bacterial pustule disease on susceptible soybean leaves and produces a bacteriocin, named glycinecinA, against most xanthomonads including Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria. One of the 5 isolated DNA regions responsible for bacteriocin production, a 1.7 kb DNA region for the glycinecinA gene, was used as a probe to detect the presence of the homolog DNA in other bacterial strains. Among 55 bacterial strains tested, only X. campestris pv. glycines showed the positive signal with glycinecinA DNA. Two oligomers, heu2 and heu4, derived from a glycinecinA DNA were used to carry out the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis with chromosomal DNA from 55 different bacterial strains including 24 different strains of X. campestris pv. glycines, 9 different pathovars of xanthomonads, and other 22 bacterial strains of different genus and species. By separation of the PCR products on agarose gel, a 0.86 kb DNA fragment was specifically detected when X. campestris pv. glycines was present in the amplification assay. The 0.86 kb fragment was not amplified when DNA from other bacteria was used for the assay. Southern analysis with glycinecinA DNA showed that the PCR signal was obtained with X. campestris pv. glycines isolates from various geographic regions and soybean cultivars. Therefore, the 1.7 kb DNA region for the glycinecinA gene can be used for the pathovar-specific probe for the DNA hybridization and the primers heu2 and heu4 can be used for the pathovar-specific primers for the PCR analysis to detect X. campestris pv. glycines.

A total of 113 Vibrio sp. strains were examined for plasmid content which were subjected to digestion with restriction enzymes. About the 55% Vibrio spp. have the plasmid more than one. Most of these plasmid various derivatives ranged from $2.4\;kb{\sim}23\;kb$, especially two strains of V. mimicus and one strain of V. furnissii carried one high-molecular weight plasmid (molecular weight ranging between $70\;kb{\sim}100\;kb$). Results of restriction analysis for plasmid of this three strains were by no means the rule. For detection of tdh and ctx gene, the virulence factor involved in the pathogenesis, we carried out the TDH and CT assay, PCR amplification, and hybridization. A total 11 strains were produced TDH, involved in 9 strains of V. parahaemolyticus and 1 strain of V. alginolyticus from clinical isolates and 1 strains of V. mimicus from environmental isolates. In the experiments of tdh gene detection, in all, 3 strains of V. parahaemolyticus from clinical isolates and 2 strains from environmental isolates could be successfully amplified in 400 bp by PCR. The PCR results were consistent with DNA hybridization tests. In the experiments of CT assay, in all, 3 strains of V. cholerae from clinical isolate and 1 strain of V. cholerae from environmental isolates were observed CT-producing. These CT-producing strains amplified in 302 bp by PCR for the detection of ctx gene. All CT-producing strains hybridized with digoxigenin-labeled DNA probe, while CT-negative strains did not hybridize. Also hybridization tests results for detection of ctx gene consistent with PCR.

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate of the specificity of Fusobacterium nucleatum subspecies-specific DNA probes using dot blot hybridization. To confirm whether the clinical isolates were F. nucleatum or not, 16S rDNA of them were cloned and sequenced. The sequencing data were used in homology search with database of GenBank. When the homology was above 98% compared with the nucleotide sequence of a certain bacteria, it was judged as the same species with the bacteria. 23 strains of F. nucleatum were isolates from subgingival plaque of periodontitis patient. The clinical isolates of F. nucleatum were classified into 10 groups using phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA sequence. F. nucleatum subspecies nucleatum-specific DNA probe Fu4(1.3 kb) reacted with genomic DNAs from 8 type strains of F. nucleatum and it reacted strongly with those from 8 clinical isolates. The Fp4(0.8 kb) reacted with F. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum ATCC 10953 and one clinical isolates. Fv35(1.9 kb) and Fs17(8.2 kb) probes reacted with genomic DNAs from F. nucleatum subsp. vincentii ATCC 49256 and F. nucleatum subsp. fusiform ATCC 51190, respectively. Our results showed that it is not enough to evaluate the specificity of F. nucleatum subspecies-specific DNA probes with only dot blot hybridization. Therefore, Southern blot analysis will be necessary to confirm the specificity of F. nucleatum subspecies-specific DNA probes.

The degree of the genetic variations among Clostridium thermocellum ATCC 27405 and the wild type strains was investigated by the mehtod of GC ratio, DNA-DNA hybridization and RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) patterns by ribosomal RNA and M13 probe. GC ratio and KNA homology values of th three isolates were approximately equal to those of ATCC type strain. The RFLP patterns by the rRNA and M13 probe showed some differences among C. thermocellum ATCC 27405, wild type strains and Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum ATCC 33223, indicating that the two probes can be useful in subspecies- and apecies-identification.
