cDNA for human cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), a potent atherogenic plasma protein that redistributes the neutral lipids among lipoproteins, was expressed in recombinant vaccinia virus-infected cells (CV-1). Two insertion vectors regulated by different promoters were constructed. The vectors were introduced into human thymidine kinase-negative ($TK^-$) 1438 cells infected with wild-type vaccinia virus (WR strain). Recombinant viruses were selected with 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) and X-gal and identified with DNA dot blot analysis (vSC11-CETP and vTM1-CETP). The CETP cDNA insert in the recombinant vaccinia virus genome was identified by Southern blot analysis. Transcription of CETP cDNA in CV-1 cells infected with recombinant vaccinia virus was monitored by Northern blot analysis using the CETP cDNA as a probe. Positive signals were detected at 1.8 kb in cells infected with vSC11-CETP and at 2.3 kb in cells infected with vTM1-CETP. The recombinant vaccinia virus-infected CV-1 cells were shown to produce functional CETP when the culture medium was subjected to the CETP assay.

To clone blue and white flower color specific genes, mRNA differential display was carried out with two different Commelina species, C. communis Linne for blue color and C. coreana Leveille for. leucantha Nakai for white color. Fifty two and 100 cDNA clones specific for blue or white flower color, respectively, were ranging from 200 to 700 bp in size. From the reverse northern blot analysis, 12 and 7 positive clones were selected for blue and white flower, respectively. These clones appear to be novel cDNAs for these Commelina plants, but not color specific. This finding was supported by the northern blot analysis. However, two clones, B18 and B19, derived from blue flowered Commelina were highly expressed than in the white Commelina species, implying that further study will be valuable. The results indicated that both mRNA display experiment and dot blot analysis may not sensitive enough to clone color-determining gene from the plant, leading to explore more advanced method, like high-density colony array study (HDCA).

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 objectives of this study were to examine serum periplakin expression in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder and in normal controls, and to examine relationships with clinicopathological findings. Detection of serum periplakin was performed in 50 patients and 30 normal controls with anti-periplakin antibodies using the automatic dot blot system, and a micro-dot blot array with a 256 solid-pin system. Levels in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder were significantly lower than those in normal controls (0.31 and 5.68, respectively; p<0.0001). The area under the receiver-operator curve level for urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder was 0.845. The sensitivity and specificity, using a cut-off point of 4.045, were 83.7% and 73.3%, respectively. In addition, serum periplakin levels were significantly higher in patients with muscle-invasive cancer than in those with nonmuscle-invasive cancer (P = 0.03). In multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, none of the clinicopathological factors was associated with an increased risk for progression and cancer-specific survival. Examination of the serum periplakin level may play a role as a non-invasive diagnostic modality to aid urine cytology and cystoscopy.

질환성과 관련된 세균의 분포 및 유전자형을 탐색하고자 구강농양 및 골수염의 급성감염 혼자와 진료실 및 실험실의 정상인을 대상으로 시료를 채취하여 포도상구균을 분리 및 동정을 시행하고, 특성을 규명하였으며, plasmid 및 염색유전자를 분리하여 제한효소를 처리후 전기영동을 실시하고 분리된 plasmid로 탐색자를 제작하여 dot blot을 시행하였다. 대부분의 급성환자에서 분리된 포도상구균을 S. lugdunensis와 S. aureus이었으나, 진료실 및 실험실에서는 coagulase 음성 staphylococci가 분리되었다. 급성환자에서 분리된 포도상구균은 ampicillin과 penicillin에 내성을 보였다. 분리된 S. lugdunensis균주중 네 균주는 ${\delta}$형의 용혈소를 생산하였다. Plasmid를 분리한 결과 S. lugdunensis균주중 세 균주는 약 6.5 kilobases이었으나 S. aureus는 약 4.3 kilobases 정도 크기의 band를 보였다. S. lugdunensis에서 분리된 plasmid로 제작한 탐색자로 dot blot를 시행한 결과 치과 영역에서 분리한 plasmid를 갖는 균주는 양성반응을 보였다. 염색체유전자의 유전자형을 분석한 결과 ${\delta}$형의 용혈소를 생산한 네 균주의 S. lugdunensis는 유사한 유전자형을 보였다. 이러한 연구결과 질환의 진행에 S. lugdunensis가 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 생각되고, 치과영역에 존재하는 plasmid는 공통적인 유전자 서열을 갖는 것으로 추정된다.

Background: Uroplakins have been widely investigated as potential markers in patients with bladder cancer because these proteins are specific to the urothelium. However, the role of uroplakin proteins in bladder cancer remains unknown. In this study, preoperative serum levels of uroplakin III were measured in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder and examined for possible association with clinicopathological features and clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: This study included 52 bladder cancer patients at various stages and 28 healthy controls. Uroplakin III levels were detected in preoperative sera using an automated dot blot system and a micro-dot blot array. Results: There was a significant increase in serum uroplakin III levels in patients with bladder cancer as compared to healthy controls (p<0.05). In addition, serum uroplakin III levels were associated with muscle-invasive status, high grade and lymphovascular invasion (p<0.02). Log-rank tests indicated high serum uroplakin III to be significantly associated with cancer-specific mortality. Conclusions: Determination of serum uroplakin III level could be valuable for identifying patients with biologically aggressive bladder cancer.

Mammals have 3 pairs of major salivary glands i.e., the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. Saliva secretion of these glands is modulated by taste perception. Salivary glands are composed mainly of acinar and ductal cells. Primary saliva is secreted by acinar cells and modified during ductal flow. Recently, of the murine 35 bitter taste receptors, Tas2r108 was expressed at highest levels in the submandibular gland by qPCR. Further, Tas2r108-transfected cells respond to a range of bitter compounds, such as denatonium, quinine, colchicine, diphenidol, caffeine and dapson. The objective of the present study was to characterize the expression of Tas2r108 mRNA in acinar and/or ductal cells of the submandibular gland using in situ hybridization (ISH). Male 42-60 days old DBA2 mice were used in the study. Messenger RNAs were extracted from the submandibular gland for generating digoxigenin (DIG) labeled-cRNA probes. These probes were transcribed in anti-sense and sense orientation using T7 RNA polymerase. Dot blot hybridization was performed using DIG labeled-cRNA probes, in order to estimate integrity and optimal diluting concentration of these probes. Subsequently, ISH was performed on murine submandibular gland to detect Tas2r108 mRNA. Dot blot hybridization data demonstrated that Tas2r108 DIG labeled-cRNA anti-sense probes specifically detected Tas2r108 cDNA. ISH results showed that the anti-sense probes labeled acinar and ductal cells in the submandibular gland, whereas no staining was visible in sense controls. Interestingly, the Tas2r108 expression levels were higher in acinar than ductal cells. These results suggested that Tas2r108 might be more associated with primary saliva secretion than with ductal modification of saliva composition.

To make the genomic DNA probe of Theileria sergenti, the merozoites were purified from bovine erythrocytes. The infected erythrocytes were lysed by Aeromonas hydrophila(Ah-1) hemolysin, and the parasites were isolated by ultracentrifugation on a Percoll discontinuous density gradient. For construction of a T sergenti genomic DNA library, T sergenti DNA was digested with Pstl and the fragments were ligated into the PstI site of pUC19 before transformation of Escherichia coli JM83. Out of thousands of transformants obtained by transformation of E coli JM83 with the genomic library, three plasmids were chosen. The sizes of the inserted DNAs were 2.9kb(2.4kb and 0.5kb) in pKTS1, 4.3kb in pKTS2 and 1.5kb in pKTS3, respectively. The DNA fragments used as probe KTS1(2.4kb), KTS2(4.3kb) and KTS3(1.5kb) were labeled digoxigenin-11-dUTP for the Southern hybridization. In Southern hybridization, all of the probes(KTS1, KTS2 and KTS3) reacted specifically to T sergenti DNA, but not to bovine leucocyte DNA. In order to find out the sensitivities of the digoxigenin-11-dUTP-labeled KTS1 and KTS3 as the probes, purified merozoite DNA and bovine DNA (control) were checked by dot blot hybridization with the probes. Both of the probes, KTS1 and KTS3, detected as minimum amount of 975pg of the T sergenti DNA, but not bovine DNA even to 500ng.
