In this study, graphene, the most attractive material today, has been applied to the wavelength-modulated surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor. The optical fiber sensor technology is the most fascinating topic because of its several benefits. In addition to this, the SPR phenomenon enables the detection of biomaterials to be label-free, highly sensitive, and accurate. Therefore, the optical fiber SPR sensor has powerful advantages to detect biomaterials. Meanwhile, Graphene shows superior mechanical, electrical, and optical characteristics, so that it has tremendous potential to be applied to any applications. Especially, grapheme has tighter confinement plasmon and relatively long propagation distances, so that it can enhance the light-matter interactions (F. H. L. Koppens, et al., Nano Lett., 2011). Accordingly, we coated graphene on the optical fiber probe which we fabricated to compose the wavelength-modulated SPR sensor (Figure 1.). The graphene film was synthesized via thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Synthesized graphene was transferred on the core exposed region of fiber optic by lift-off method. Detected analytes were biotinylated double cross-over DNA structure (DXB) and Streptavidin (SA) as the ligand-receptor binding model. The preliminary results showed the SPR signal shifts for the DXB and SA binding rather than the concentration change.

Abstract White spot disease (WSD), resulting in more than 90% mortality of aquacultured penaeid shrimp, has been reported off the southern and western coasts of Korea since 1993. The pafuogen of WSD has been identified as being a virion wifu an envelope around a central nucleocapsid, and with an average size of 167 nm in diameter and 375 nm in length. In the present study, an in situ hybridization technique was developed as a rapid. sensitive, and specific diagnostic assay for the WSD viros infection in shrimp. Furthermore. the pathological changes ofWSD, in shrimp experimentally infected with WSD viroses. were investigated. Using a biotinylated 643 bp probe obtained from a peR using primers specific to the rod-shaped virus of Penaeus japonicus (RV-PJ), positive signals were detected in both naturally and experimentally infected shrimps. The in situ hybridization revealed positive reactions in the nuclei of the stromal matrix cells in the lymphoid organ, epithelia of the gills, foregut. epidermis, and hematopoietic cells of the interstitial tissues, suggesting the presence of WSD virus. Tills result indicates that the in situ hybridization method can be useful for a rapid and sensitive detection of WSD viruses in shrimp.shrimp.

고온, 호알칼리성 Bacillus K-17 균주에서 한가지 xylanase 유전자를 pBR322를 벡터로 이용하여 클로닝시켰다. Xylan을 함유하는 LB 한천배지에서 분해환을 형성하는 대장균 형질전환주에서 재조합 플라스미드 pAXl13을 분리하였으며, 본 pAXl13 은 pBR322와 고온, 호알칼리성 Bacillus K-17균주 염색체 DNA의 4.3Kb HindIII 절편으로 구성되어 있었다. Biotin으로 표식된 pAXl13을 probe로 하여 상동성시험을 하여 본 결과, pAXl13에 존재하는 4.3Kb Hind III 절편은 고온, 호알칼리성 Bacillus K-17 균주 유래임을 확인하였다. pAXl13 을 가지는 E. coli 균주가 생성하는 xylanase는 균체외에 존재하였으며 그 효소학적 성질은 고온, 호알칼리성 Bacillus K-17 균주의 xylanase I 과 II중에서 xylanase I과 동일하였다.

고온, 호알칼리성 Bacillus속 K-17 균주에서 $\beta$-xylosidase 유전자를 pBR322를 벡터로 이용하여 클로닝시켰다. p-Nitrophenyl-$\beta$-xylopyranoside를 함유하는 LB 한천배지에서 노란색을 형성하는 대장균 형질전환주에서 재조합 플라스미드 pAX278을 분리하였으며, 본 pAX278은 pBR322와 고온, 호알칼리성 Bacillus K-17 균주 염색체 DNA의 5.0 kb HindIII절편으로 구성되어 있었다. Biotin으로 로식된 pAX278을 probe로 하여 상동성 시험을 하여 본 결과, pAX278에 존재하는 5.0 kb HindIII 절편은 Bacillus K-17 균주의 염색체 DNA HindIII 절편 중에서 5.0 kb 분만 아니라 0.9 kb 절편과도 상동성이 있었다. pAX278의 5.0 kb 절편을 pGR71에 연결시켜 B. subtilis에서도 발현시켰다. pAX278을 가지는 E. coli 균주가 생성하는 $\beta$-xylosidase는 균체외에 존재하였으며 그 효소학적 성질은 Bacillus속 K-17의 $\beta$-xylosidase와 동일하였다.

All cancers are caused by abnormalities in DNA sequence. Throughout life, the DNA in human cells is exposed to mutagens and suffers mistakes in replication, resulting in progressive, subtle changes in the DNA sequence in each cell. Since the development of conventional and molecular cytogenetic methods to the analysis of chromosomal aberrations in cancers, more than 1,800 recurring chromosomal breakpoints have been identified. These breakpoints and regions of nonrandom copy number changes typically point to the location of genes involved in cancer initiation and progression. With the introduction of molecular cytogenetic methodologies based on fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), namely, comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and multicolor FISH (m-FISH) in carcinomas become susceptible to analysis. Conventional CGH has been widely applied for the detection of genomic imbalances in tumor cells, and used normal metaphase chromosomes as targets for the mapping of copy number changes. However, this limits the mapping of such imbalances to the resolution limit of metaphase chromosomes (usually 10 to 20 Mb). Efforts to increase this resolution have led to the "new"concept of genomic DNA chip (1 to 2 Mb), whereby the chromosomal target is replaced with cloned DNA immobilized on such as glass slides. The resulting resolution then depends on the size of the immobilized DNA fragments. We have completed the first draft of its Korean Genome Project. The project proceeded by end sequencing inserts from a library of 96,768 bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) containing genomic DNA fragments from Korean ethnicity. The sequenced BAC ends were then compared to the Human Genome Project′s publicly available sequence database and aligned according to known cancer gene sequences. These BAC clones were biotinylated by nick translation, hybridized to cytogenetic preparations of metaphase cells, and detected with fluorescein-conjugated avidin. Only locations of unique or low-copy Portions of the clone are identified, because high-copy interspersed repetitive sequences in the probe were suppressed by the addition of unlabelled Cotl DNA. Banding patterns were produced using DAPI. By this means, every BAC fragment has been matched to its appropriate chromosomal location. We have placed 86 (156 BAC clones) cytogenetically defined landmarks to help with the characterization of known cancer genes. Microarray techniques would be applied in CGH by replacement of metaphase chromosome to arrayed BAC confirming in oncogene and tumor suppressor gene: and an array BAC clones from the collection is used to perform a genome-wide scan for segmental aneuploidy by array-CGH. Therefore, the genomic DNA chip (arrayed BAC) will be undoubtedly provide accurate diagnosis of deletions, duplication, insertions and rearrangements of genomic material related to various human phenotypes, including neoplasias. And our tumor markers based on genetic abnormalities of cancer would be identified and contribute to the screening of the stage of cancers and/or hereditary diseases
