Reduction in the leakage of the amplified PCR product out of cell is required for effective in situ PCR. For this purpose, primers with complementary tail sequences at their 5' sides were utilized to synthesize high molecular weight PCR products, but it is time-consuming and causes deterioration of cellular appearance with many PCR cycles. Therefore, it is required to optimize the PCR condition with minimal PCR cycles. To achieve the pur-pose, primer polymers were made without the target DNA in tube from nonspecific amplification with tailed primers and treated onto the fixed Molt/LAV cells on the glass slide for the 20 cycle-in situ PCR, in which the appropriate target signals were observed for the possible use of primer polymers in in situ PCR.

In order to establish effective in situ PCR on the glass slide using the conventional DNA thermal cycler, several parameters should be considered. These include full accessibility of PCR reagents into the cells, prevention of diffusing PCR products out of the cells, loss of PCR reagents by nonspecific adherence onto the glass slide, dryness of PCR reagents by heat, and heat conductivity from the heat block to the glass slide. Especially, to guarantee the full accessibility of PCR reagents to sample, relatively higher concentration of PCR reagents (particularly 4.5 mM of $Mg^{++}$) was required while 5 to 10 units/50 ${\mu}l$ reaction of Taq enzyme was enough as long as the step of pre-PCR incubation was included. Dryness of sample was prevented by addition of distilled water into the empty slots in the heat block, thereby providing the reproducible temperature-time profile of PCR. Observed temperature was lower than the programmed temperature by 3 to $4^{\circ}C$.

한국인 아동의 우식치아로부터 S. mutans를 분리하고, acid stress하에서 분리한 S. mutans의 내산성 능력과 관련된 단백질을 규명하고자 하였다. S. mutans의 16S rDNA 유전자 핵산염기서열을 바탕으로 설계된 프라이머 쌍을 이용하여 중합효소연쇄반응을 실시하고 16S rDNA sequencing을 실시한 결과, 한국인 아동으로부터 분리 된 S. mutans K7은 기존에 보고된 표준균주와 99.9% 일치하는 결과를 나타내 S. mutans로 판명되었다. 또한 2D gel electrophoresis 를 수행한 결과, acid stress에 관여하는 것으로 추정되는 단백질들을 확인 할 수 있었다.

세포나 미생물의 특정 DNA 부위를 증폭하고자 할때 이용되는 PCR(polymerase chain reaction, 핵산중합효소 연쇄반응)은 1983년 미국 Cetus사의 Mullos에 의해 고안되었고, 그후 PCR에 의한 마이코 박테리아의 동정 및 검출이 특정 염기서열의 연구가 이루어지면서 활발히 시도되었으며, 아이젠하크 등은 IS6110을 이용하여 본격적으로 PCR이 결핵균 검출에 유용한 도구로 사용될 수 있다는 가능성을 제시하였다. PCR에 의한 DNA증폭은 단시간 내에 이루어진다는 장점 때문에 유전병 및 미생물의 진단에 이용될 뿐 아니라 법의학 분야 및 장기이식에 따른 조직접합 시험에도 이용될 것으로 예상된다. 이에 따라 국내에서도 결핵연구원에서 최초로 일반 임상검사에 적용함으로써 현재 많은 호평을 받고 있는 PCR에 대하여 알아본다

The only observed morphological difference between Spirometra erinqsei and S. mcnsonoides is the uterine shape of the mature proglottid. Two species of worms are thought to be evolutionarily closely related. Biomolecular colnparison of the ho worms by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis was conducted to observe the genetic distance. The 285 rDNA, mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (mCOI), and ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITSI) fragments were obtained from the worms by PCR. The PCR products were cleaved by 5 four-base pair restriction enzyme combinations (Msp I, Hae III, Alu I, Cfo I, Rsa I) , electrophoresed and analyzed with PAUP 3.1.1. The fragment Patterns or 285 rDNA and Lni demonstrated that two worms were in identical systematic tree with bootstrap number 94 and 100, respectively As for mCOI, bootstrap number was 74 in a different tree. Above results are indicative of recent common ancestry between S. etinocei and S. mansonoides.

Viroids are about 250-400 base pair of short single strand RNA fragments have been associated with economically important plant diseases. Due to the lack of protein expression capacity associated with replication, it is very difficult to diagnosis viroid diseases in serological methods. For detecting viroid at plants, molecular-based techniques such as agarose gel electrophoresis, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), DNA-hybridization, blotting analysis and conventional RT-PCR are reliable. Real-time RT-PCR methods that grafted on RT-PCR methods with improved confirmation methods have been also utilized. However, they are still labor-intensive, time-consuming, and require personnel with expertise. Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) method is a nucleic acid amplification method under the isothermal condition. The LAMP methodology has been reported to be simple, rapid, sensitive and field applicable in detecting a variety of pathogens. The results of LAMP method can be colorized by adding a visible material such as SYBR green I, Evagreen, Calcein, Berberine and Hydroxy naphthol blue (HNB) with simple equipment or naked eyes. The combination of LAMP method and nucleic pathogens, viroids, can be used to realize simple diagnosis platform for the genetic point-of care testing system. The aim at this review is to summary viroid-caused diseases and the simple visible approach for diagnosing viroids using Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) method.

The multiple real-time PCRs against pathogens of Bombus species including DWV, IAPV, KBV, SBV, BQCV, kSBV, SBPV and Paenibacillus larvae, Mellisococcus plutonius, Lysinibacillus fusiformis, and Klebsiella oxytoca have been developed. One extracted nucleic acid from Beesample could be applied to 11 different PCRs in same time and condition. Specific PCR-products were amplified qualitative and quantitative manner inner 20 minutes successfully, when each 1000 molecules of pathogen-specific target DNA is existed as template, respectively. The multiple PCR detection that we propose would be expected to apply to quarantine test for international exchange of Bombus species.

This study was undertaken to develop PCR primers for the identification and detection of Streptococcus mutans (by)using species-specific forward and universal reverse primers. These primers targeted the variable regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA coding gene (rDNA). The primer specificity was tested against 11S. mutans strains and 10 different species (22 strains) of oral bacteria. The primer sensitivity was determined by testing serial dilutions of the purified genomic DNA of S. mutans ATCC $25175^T$. The data showed that species-specific amplicons were obtained from all the S. mutans strains tested, which was not observed in the other species. The direct and nested PCR could detect as little as 2 pg and 2 fg of the chromosomal DNA from S. mutans ATCC $25175^T$, respectively. This shows that the PCR primers are highly sensitive and applicable to the detection and identification of S. mutans.
