팽이균사체의 형질전환을 위하여 Agrobacterium 세포를 사용하였다. 특히, Agrobacterium 세포의 감염단계 전에 약한 NaOH용액을 처리하였으며 이로써 균사체 세포들의 표면 상해 발생을 기대하였다. 그 결과, hygromycin 저항성 ($hyg^r$) 균사체는 NaOH 처리를 거친 경우에서만 출현하였다. 형질전환 균사체의 $hyg^r$ 유전자 도입은 PCR로 확인되었으며 또한 Southern blot hybridization과 western blotting 분석에 의하여 단일 유전자 copy의 삽입과 외래유전자의 발현을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 팽이균사체에 대한 효율적인 Agrobacterium 이용 형질전환수단을 보여주고 있다.

Fragile-X-syndrome (FXS) is the most common type of inherited cognitive impairment. The underlying molecular alteration consists of a CGG-repeat amplification within the FMR-1 gene. The phenotype is only apparent once a threshold in the number of repeats has been exceeded (full mutation). The aim of this study was to characterize the FMR-1 CGG-repeat status in Argentine patients exhibiting mental retardation. A total of 330 blood samples from patients were analyzed by PCR and Southern blot analysis. Initially, DNA from 78 affected individuals were studied by PCR. Since this method is unable to detect high molecular weight alleles, however, we undertook a second approach using the Southern blotting technique to analyze the CGG repeat number and methylation status. Southern blot analysis showed an altered pattern in 14 out of 240 (6%) unrelated patients, with half of them presenting a mosaic pattern. Eight out of 17 families (47%) showed a (suggest deleting highlight). The characteristic FXS pattern was identified in 8/17 families (47%), and in 4 of these families 25% of the individuals presented with a mosaic model. The expansion from pre-mutation to full mutation was shown to occur both at the pre and post zygotic levels. The detection of FXS mutations has allowed us to offer more informed genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis and reliable patient follow-up.

Changes in the expression level of splenocyte $IFN-{\gamma}$mRNA of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats infected with Paragonimus westermani were analyzed by competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by southern blot. The template RNA was extracted from the splenocytes of rats infected with 20 metacercariae of P. westermani. The products of competitive RT-PCR were subjected to southern blot and enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL), and analyzed with a densitometer. In comparison with that of uninfected control rat splenocytes (value of 1), the levels of mRNA expression of $IFN-{\gamma}$had changed to 0.747 at 1 week post infection (PI), 0.00175 at 2 week PI, 0.0217 at 3 week PI, 0.194 at 4 week PI and then to 0.537 at 5 week PI. The level at 7 week PI had returned to 1.25, comparable with that of uninfected rats. These results show that, when infected with p. westermani, the levels of $IFN-{\gamma}$ mRNA of SD rat splenocytes were remarkably reduced by more than 500 times at 2 week PI and restored to normal level at 7 week PI.

This experiment was conducted to introduce phosphinothricin acetyl -transferase(PAT) gene, resistant to basta and non-selective herbidide, into tobacco(Nicotiana tabacum cv.BY4). For shoot formation,tobacco leaf disks were placed on the MS medium supplemented with 2.0mg/L BA and 0.1mg/L NAA. In this medium condition, tobacco leaf disces were cocultivated with A. tumefaciens MP90 containing NPT IIand PAT resistant to kanamycin and Basta, respectively. Shoots were obtained in the medium containing antibiotics, and those were transferred to rooting medium supplemented with 0.1mg/L NAA and antibiotics. The plants obtaining roots were transplanted into soil. Phenotype of transgenic tobacco plant was mostly as normal plant. However, about 5% was abnormal plant, which did not set seeds. PCR analysis and southern blot were performed to determine transformation. As the results, it was confirmed that PAT gene was stably integrated into tobacco genome.When herbicide, basta, was sprayed to the plants confirmed by PCR, the transgenic plants showed normal growth, whereas normal plants died. Therefore, the result of this experiment show that tobacco transformation for the resistance to basta, non-selective herbicide, was successful because PAT gene was stably integrated into tobacco.

In this study, we try to establish the rapid and specific detection system for Salmonella species. The PhoE gene of Salmonella species was amplified with two specific primers, ST5 and ST8c, using PCR. The probe prepared from the amplified PhoE gene was sequenced and applied for Southern blot analysis. After PCR with ST5 and ST8c primers for PhoE gene, DNA bands of expected size(365bp) from 7 different Salmonella species were detected, but not from 12 enterobacteriaceae and 3 gram positive bacteria. PCR was highly sensitive to detect up to 10fg of purified DNA template and to identify Salmonella species with only 320 heat-lysed bacterial cells. The inhibition of PCR amplification from stool specimen was occurred with 50-fold dilution but disappeared over 100 fold dilution of samples. It was confirmed that the PhoE genes were amplified and cloned with over 97% nacleotide sequence homology of PCR products compared with that of S. typhfmurium LT2. The DNA probe derived from S. typhimurium TA 3,000 showed highly specific and sensitive reaction with PCR products of all tested Salmonella species. These results indicate that PCR was rapid and sensitive detection method for Salmonella species and DNA probe prepared from S. typhimurium TA 3,000 was specific to identify PCR products of different Salmonella species.

The objectives of this study were to 1) evaluate the efficiency of the protocol of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of cucumber to introduce phytoene synthase-2a carotene desaturase (PAC genes); 2) demonstrate the integration of PAC genes into the genome of putative transgenic cucumber based on growth on selection medium, PCR and Southern analysis; 3) evaluate the expression of PAC genes in transgenic cucumber based on the analysis of RT-PCR and Northern blot hybridization. Out of 5,945 cotyledonary-node explants inoculated with Agrobacterium, 65 (1.1%) explants produced 238 shoots. Integration of PAC genes into the genome of the cucumber was demonstrated based on the analysis of gDNA-PCR, 21 out of the 238 plants regenerated; while 6 plants proved positive for Southern blot hybridization. Transgene expression was demonstrated based on analysis of RT-PCR, 6 plants proved positive out of the 6 plants analyzed; while 4 plants out of 6 proved positive during Northern blot hybridization. This study successfully demonstrated the production of transgenic cucumber, integration, and expression of the PAC gene in cucumber.

Viral coat protein (CP) encoding cDNA with artificial start and stop codons was synthesized by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from the Korean isolate of potato virus Y-vein nectrosis strain (pVY-VN). To make PVY CP cDNA to untranslatable form, three stop codons were inserted near the start codon by "megaprimer-PCR" method. The untranslatable CP cDNA was subcloned to plant expression vector and transferred to N. tabacum cv. NC82 by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Highly resistant plants to PVY infection were screened, based on symptom development after mechanical virus inoculation. By genomic PCR and Southern blot analysis, one or more copies of the untranslatable CP gene were found in all transformants. From northern blot analysis, highly resistant transgenic lines had very low level of CP transcript but susceptible lines had high level, suggesting resistance to PVY infection should be related to RNA-mediated mechanism.mechanism.

Cyclodextrin을 합성하는 효소 CGTase를 호염기성 Bacillus sp. E1으로부터 분리하기 위하여 PCR을 실시하였다. PCR을 위하여 합성한 primer의 염기서열은 현재까지 보고된 CGTase 유전자의 염기서열을 비교 분석하여 가장 높게 보존된 영역을 찾아내어 선택하였다. PCR 증폭 결과 1.2 kbp 크기의 DNA 절편을 얻을 수 있었고 이를 molecular probe로 이용하여 Southern blot 분석을 실시하였다. Southern blot 분석결과 CGTase 유전자는 염색체 DNA를 제한효소 XbaI으로 절단한 5.3 kbp 절편내에 존재한다는 사실을 알아내었다. CGTase 유전자를 분리하기 위하여 유전자 은행을 제조한 후 선별작업을 실시하여 genomic clone인 pCGTE1을 얻을 수 있었다. pCGTEl의 염기서열을 결정한 결과 분리한 CGTase 유전자는 2109 bp의 open reading frame을 가지며 이는 703개의 아미노산으로 구성된 단백질을 coding하는 것으로 나타났다. 아미노산 서열의 유사성을 비교한 결과 Bacillus sp. KC201의 CGTase 와 가장 높은 94.3% 동질성을 나타내었다.

고추 형질전환은 Agrobacterium (LBA4404/pBI101 cyc600-syna-elicitin)을 이용한 cyc600 promoter에 구축된 elicitin 유전자의 형질전환시 shoot의 형성율은 수비초의 경우 3 mg/L zeatin과 0.05 mg/L NAA 함유 배지에서 11.1%, 4 mg/L zeatin과 0.05 mg/L NAA 함유 배지에서 12.8%였다. 전배양 3일, 공동배양 $3{\sim}4$일에서 재분화율이 높았다. 자엽으로부터 재분화된 형질전환체의 NPTII 유전자의 primer를 이용한 PCR 반응에서 형질전환된 재분화 식물체는 536 bp의 밴드를 확인하였다. Membrane에 blot하여 NPTII gene을 probe로 사용하여 Southern blot 분석에서 고추형질전환 식물체는 536 bp 부위에 강한 signal을 보였다. elicitin 유전자를 이용한 역병 저항성 형질전환체 수비초 $T_{0}$세대의 생육은 계통간에 다소 차이는 보였고, 계통 모두 생육은 저조한 반면 개화 및 수정 등의 임성은 정상적이었다. 자식을 통해 채종한 $T_{1}$ 식물체의 유전자 도입을 확인하기 위하여 PCR을 수행한 결과 $T_{0}$ 식물체 $S1{\sim}S5$ 계통에서 elicitin 밴드가 나타나 형질전환체임을 확인하였고, $T_{1}$식물체인 S1-1 등 7계통에서 elicitin 밴드가 나타났고, S1-2 등 4계통에서는 밴드가 나타나지 않아 형질전환체가 후대에서 분리가 일어남을 확인할 수 있었다. Syn ${\alpha}$ clone을 이용하여 Southern blot analysis를 한 결과 band가 나타난 300 bp 정도의 위치에서 blot이 나오는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 위의 결과에서 cyc600 promoter-syn ${\alpha}$의 construct가 수비초의 genomic DNA에 삽입되었는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 고추형질전환체의 유묘에 역병균을 접종한 결과 유주포자 $10^{3}$개/mL에서 형질전환체의 저항성 계통선발이 가능하였다.

HIV는 ELISA나 WB에 의해 항체가 검출되기 수개월 혹은 수 년전에도 proviral DNA 상태로 감염된 세포의 chromosome내에 존재하는 것이 주지의 사실이다. 그동안 Southern blot, in situ hybridization등에 의해 이 proviral DNA를 검출하려는 연구가 진행되어 왔으나 lymphocyte $10^{4}$-$10^{6}$개 중 1개가 감염되어 있으며 lymphocyte chromosomal DNA에 비해 viral DNA의 양이 미량이므로 검출하기에는 민감도가 낮은 문제점이 있다. 본 고에서는 근래 개발되어 널리 사용되고 있는 polymerase chain reaction(PCR)을 이용한 HIV의 진단에 관해 살펴보고자 한다.
