DNA sequence information on small-subunit rRNA gene (16S rDNA) obtained from food-poisoning bacterial culture was used to investigate the presence of bacterial pathogens in food. By reverse dot blot detection method, presence of food-poisoning bacteria could be confirmed on hybridization of digoxigenin-labeled 16S rDNA Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) primer product and biotin-labeled specific oligonucleotide probe. Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus. and Salmonella sp. were used as the representative food-poisoning bacterial microorganisms. An oligonucleotide probe, based on the variable region of 16S rRNA gene, was used as the specific probe. These tools may be more useful than classic biochemical method for rapid identification of contaminated food.

In this paper, a in situ hybridization(ISH) has been used to investigate the yield of viral RNA expression from each organ tissues. It is studied to establish a rapidly, specific diagnostic method detecting rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus(RHDV) RNA in 10% formalin-fixed, paraffin-em-bedded tissues of naturally RHDV-infected rabbits using oligonucleotide probe to be made by RHDV total sequences. Biotin was used as the oligonucleotide probe marker. in situ hybridization is detected the virus genome in the cells and tissue as specifically compared with others nucleic acid hybridization method. All ISH procedure of RHDV were completed to Mi-croProbe$^{TM}$ capillary action system within 1-2 hours. In this report, RHDV was distributed widely in the cytoplasm of liver cell and the cortex of kidney but lung tissue and medulla of kidney were showed to positive reaction at locally. Although not entirely free of technical limitations, nucleic acid identification holds advantages over other diagnostic tests, including exquisite sensitivity, specificity, interchangeability and speed. It is expected that, in the immediate future viral nucleic acid detection will be a prominent part of the methods used in histopathology.

Simple stain and electron microscopic in situ hybridization is studied and applied for the identification of rabbit haemorrhagic disease viral RNA in a unicrylated preparation of the liver after innoculation of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus. Hybridization for detection of viral RNA in unicryl embedded tissues using complementary 84 bases oligonucleotide probe labelled by biotin CE-phosphoramidite compared with 4717∼4800 sequences of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus, modified hybridization protocol and antibiotin antibody-l0nm gold as signal marker. The best results were obtained in 0.02% glutaraldehyde, Unicryl resin cell block, biotinylated oligonucleotide probes, antibiotin-l0nm gold. In this report, RHD viral RNA was distributed widely within the mitochondria and nucleus of liver cell by electron microscopic in situ hybridization. In situ hybridization has become a standard method for localizing DNA or RNA sequences in tissue or celt preparation. In situ hybridization is detected the virus genome in the cells and tissue as specifically compared with others nucleic acid hybridization method.

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.

The determination of DNA hybridization reaction can apply the molecular biology research, clinic diagnostics, bioengineering, environment monitoring, food science and other application area. So, the improvement of DNA detection system is very important for the determination of this hybridization reaction. In this study, we report the characterization of the probe and target oligonucleotide hybridization reaction using the evanescent field microscopy. First, we have fabricated DNA chip microarray. The particles which were immobilized oligonucleotides were arranged by the random fluidic self-assembly on the pattern chips, using hydrophobic interaction. Second, we have detected DNA hybridization reaction using evanescent field microscopy. The 5'-biotinylated probe oligonucleotides were immobilized on the surface of DNA chip microarray and the hybridization reaction with the Rhodamine conjugated target oligonucleotide was excited fluorescence generated on the evanescent field microscopy. In the foundation of this result, we could be employed as the basis of a probe olidonucleotide, capable of detecting the target oligonucleotide and monitoring it in a large analyte concentration range and various mismatching condition.

In order to cloning of the nif genes of Enterobacter agglomerans NFB-264, the digested total DNA of the strain was ligated to pBR 322 and transformed into E. coli. Through the negative selection and colony hybridization, the transformants were obtained. The recombinant plasmids, pNEL 10 and pNES 20 were extracted from these transformants. It was known from Southern hybridization that pNEL 10 contained the 12 Mdal foreign DNA fragment hybridized with nif Q-X probe and pNES 20 included the 5 Mdal foreign DNA fragment hybridized with nif NE and nif YK probe.

In order to understand the transfer behavior of a particular gene in water environments, kanamycin resistance ($Km^r$) gene was tracked by Southern hybridization with DNA probe in its conjugal transfer. A $Km^r$ natural bacterial isolate and genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs) constructed from the isolate were used as donor for conjugal transfer of the $Km^r$ gene. The transfer frequencies of the $Km^r$ gene from GMM strains were generally 10 to 100 times higher than those from the natural isolate. The conjugants obtained from GMM strains in LB broth had more plasmids newly appeared, and particularly the conjugants in A Wand FW waters revealed more rearrangement in their plasmids as a function of conjugation time. When plasmids of the conjugants obtained in LB broth were Southern hybridized with DNA probe of the $Km^r$ gene, the $Km^r$ plasmids in the conjugants were detected at the same position of the plasmids in donor cells, in spite of the fact that the plasmids were highly rearranged in conjugant cells. But the $Km^r$ plasmids in the donor of DKI and DKC601, and DKC600 were not identified in the conjugants obtained after 50 h conjugation in AW and after 30 h in AW, respectively. The size of the $Km^r$ plasmids showing hybridization signal were a little changed in the conjugants obtained in A Wand FW waters. Therefore, the method of Southern hybridization with DNA probe was proved to be very specific and useful for tracking of particular genes in water environments.

5 serotypes(a, b, c, d, e) of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans showed distinct hybridization patterns(DNA fingerprinting patterns) when the bacterial DNA were hybridized with randomly cloned 4.7-Kb sized DNA probe. The sizes of hybridized bands in each serotypes were different among serotypes and represented unique patterns of hybridization with the probe used. The serotype a showed two bands of fingerprinting patterns: 23.1 kb and 2.5 kb respectively. Serotype b and c showed single band: 6.6 kb and 9.5 kb, respectively. Serotype d and e showed two bands of hybridization: 23.1 kb and 2.8 kb, and 23.7 kb and 2.1 kb, respectively. The results indicate that this standard fingerpriting patterns of DNA hybridization with 4.7 kb probe can be further used for genotyping clinical isolates of Actinobacillus 8ctinomycetemcomitansand its relevance with periodontal disease activity.

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.
