We describe a method for producing polyclonal antibodies against peptide antigen cytochrome P450 1A2 and 3A4 using a tandem repeat of the epitope region and incorporation of proline residue between the repeated sequences. An ELISA assay revealed more efficient generation of polyclonal antibodies to tandem repeat peptide antigens than mono-epitope peptides. The incorporation of proline residues further stimulated antibody production.

In human chromosome, a short sequence of DNA has been repeated a number of times. These repeats are called variable number of tandem repeat(VNTR) or short tandem repeat(STR) which has short repeat core. VNTR and STR are used in the field of forensic science, evolution, and anthropology. In this work, we examined allele frequencies of 3 VNTR(YNZ22, NeuR, D21S11) and one STR(Humth01) in a Korean population sample by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) followed by high-resolution polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis(PAGE) with silver staining. Subsequently, the polymorphism information content(PIC) was calculated : the highest PIC was observed for the NeuR locus(0.95680) and lowest for the Humth01 locus(0.75809).

On human chromoscomes, a short sequence of DNA is known to repeat a number of times. These are called variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) or short tandem respeat (STR) which has a short core. VNTR and STR are used in the filed of forensic science, evolution, and anthropology. In this work, we examined allele frequencies of one VNTR (YNZ22) and three STRs (NeuR, D21S11, Humth01) in a korean population sample by polymerase chain reaction (RCP) followed by high-resolution polyacrylamide gel electro-phoresis (PAGE) with silver stain. Subsequently, the polymorphism information content (PIC) was calculated : the hifhest PIC was observed in the NeuR locus (0.95680) and lowest in the Humth01 locus (0.75809).

Bacillus anthracis(Ba) is a Gram-positive spore-forming bacterium that causes the disease anthrax. The feature of Ba is the presence of two large virulence plasmids, pXO1 and pXO2. Molecular genotyping of Ba has been difficult to the lack of polymorphic DNA marker. Ba isolated from Korea has been genotyped using various nucleotide analysis methods, such as 16s rDNA sequencing and multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat (MLVA) analysis. We identified genotypes that represent a genetic lineage in the B1 cluster. This study emphasized the need to perform molecular genotyping when attempting to verify a strain-specific Ba.

Allelic frequency and genotype distribution of short tandem repeat(STR) F13A01 locus was analysed by polymerase chain reaction, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining from human genomic deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) was extracted from 205 unrelated Korean to be applied to forensic identification and parentage testing as a database. The results were as follows : 1. 5 alleles and 11 genotypes of F13A01 locus were detected and heterozygosity value was 62.0% and the observed each alleles and allelic frequency was 3.2(0.363), 4(0.105), 5(0.063), 6(0.466), 16(0.002). 2. The allelic diversity value was 0.639 and the power of discrimination was 0.804.3. Compared with observed number of alleles and allele frequency in ethnic difference, result was appeared to be similar to that of Japanese and Asians, while was appeared to be much different to that of Blacks and Caucasians in the observed number of alleles and frequency of allele 3.2, 5, 7. From the above result of this investigation, the allelic frequency of STR F13A01 locus in the Korean was considerd to be useful for individual identification and parentage testing as a database.

In order to be utilized as a database in forensic identification and parentage test, allelic frequency and genotype distribution of short tandem repeat(STR) F13B locus was analysed by polymerase chain reaction in 210 Korean adults who are not related. The results were as follows. 1. 3 alleles and 56 genotypes of F13B locus were detected and heterozygosity value was 48.6% and allelic diversity value was 0.639 and the power of discrimination was 0.804. 2. The observed each alleles and allelic frequency was 8(0.069), 9(0.193), 10(0.738). In conclusion, the allelic frequency of STR F13B locus in the Korean is considered as an useful DNA allelic profile for forensic identification, but it should be used with several other STR locus to get definitive conclusion of analysis for individual identification and parentage testing.

The DNA profiling of short tandem repeat (STR) markers is a powerful tool for forensic identification and forensic paternity testing. However, STR loci are susceptible to mutation that cause mismatches between parents and children when paternity is tested. Herein, we examined paternity disputes with 23 autosomal STR loci using two commercial human identification kits and revealed successive mismatches at the D13S317 locus across three generations of a Korean family. Additionally, we investigated 12 X-chromosomal STRs and discovered an inconsistency at the DXS10148 locus between the father and daughter of the same Korean family. Furthermore, we confirmed STR genotypes at the D13S317 and DXS10148 loci of the family using sequencing analysis. Consequently, we identified a successive single-step mutation at the D13S317 locus and one single-step mutation at the DXS10148 locus in three generations of the Korean family. Therefore, this case study may be useful for interpreting and understanding forensic paternity tests.

Nitric oxide is an important factor to regulate the biochemical reactions in the body such as expansion of blood vessel, neural conduction and antimicrobial activity. There are two forms of nitric oxide synthase and iNOS has attracted most attention because it is involved in the development of diabetes and cardiac disease condition. There are several regulatory sequences in the promoter region of iNOS gene. One of them is (CCTTT)n. It has been reported that the number of tandem repeat of (CCTTT)n varies from population to population. So, we analyzed (CCTTT)n polymorphism in Korean genome for the purpose of comparison. According to our present study Koreans are different from other Asians reported previously because $(CCTTT)_{10}$ is the highest incidence as opposed to $(CCTTT)_{12}$ for other countries. This study should facilitate the understanding of the expression of iNOS gene in different population.

1. Objectives As a basic trial for identification of Sasang constitutional gene marker, we genotyped and analysed statistical relationships of STR(short tandem repeat) alleles and its distribution in each constitution. 2. Methods After obtaining basic constitutional data with questionnaire (QSCC II), decision of constitution was made by 3 different constitution specialists' diagnosis, and only the samples of specialists' agreement of each constitution by discussion were taken into this research. Using multiplex PCR kit, total 146 constitutional samples were amplified in 16 autosomal STR marker, genotyped, and analysed statistically. Among 16 markers, 15 were analysed in this study excluding the amelogenin marker is used for in gender identification. 3. Results and Conclusions It is difficult to determine the relationship between constitution and STR marker as the sample size is small, however, Penta D and vWA were shown to be related statistically with constitution. It has been know that STRs has no genetic informations, however there are some recent research results showing STRs as a regulatory element, relationship between microsatellite instability and repeat number and size, and post-transcriptional sigualing. STRs which is not known about its function currently, are proposed to have function and/or regulatory activities anyhow with Sasang constitution. It is believed that the results of this study can halp determine and deatify the markers related to Sasang Constitutional Medicien.
