  • Cross-hybridizations between DNA of two pseudomonads and a xanthomonad suggested that the three DNA types had a considerable section in common. The existence of this common part was proved by hybridization of preselected DNA, i.e. DNA resulting from a previous hybridization between any one set of two DNA types, with the third type. It was thus shown that about 50% of the DNA of the three organisms was similar. This common part was isolated in pure state and its % (G+C) was found to be indentical to the overall base composition of the native DNA. The evolutionary drift in % (G+C) could thus not be detected. The total molecular weight of the chromosornal DNA/bacterial nucleoid was determined to be 2.4 ${\times} 10^9$daltons. It can therefore be estimated that the common putida-fluorescenspelargonii DNA part consists of some 2,000 cistrons. P. putida and P. fluorescens share an additional 1,300 cistrons, and all xanthomonads share at least an additional 1,000 cistrons.

  • Molecular cloning was carried out on the Danish strain of bovine viral diarrhea virus(BVDV) to construct strategy for the diagnostic tools and effective vaccine of BVD afterwards. A recombinant DNA clone(No. 29) was established successfully from cDNA for viral RNA tailed with adenine homopolymer at 3'-end. $^{32}P$-labeled DNA probes of 300~1,800bp fragments, originating from the clone 29, directed specific DNA-RNA hybridization results with BVDV RNA. Recombinant DNA of the clone 29 was about 5,200bp representing 41.6% of the full length of Danish strain's RNA, and restriction sites were recognized for EcoR I, Sst I, Hin d III and Pst I restriction enzymes in the DNA fragment.

  • This study was attempted co develope a method for detection of Theileria sergenti infection on the basis of hybridization of parasite DNA with a probe. For construction of a T sergenti genomic library, T sergenti DNA was digested completely with Bam-HI and the fragments were ligated into the Bam-HI site of pUC-19 before transformation of Escherichia colistrain JM83. To detect clones containing the parasite's DNA sequences, a genomic DNA library of T sergenti constructed in pUC-19 was screened by cracking and Southern hybridization. Seven colonies were chosen from 29 colonies which were screened by transformation of Escherichia coli strain JM83. Seven transformants were comfirmed from seven colonies by cracking. The sizes of transformants were about 5Kb, 5.7Kb, 4.3Kb, 7.75Kb, 7.85Kb, 5.8Kb, 3.8Kb, respectively. DNA inserts, T sergenti DNA, and bovine DNA were hybridized with radio-labelled T sergenti DNA. Two($pT_1$, $pT_1$) of the seven inserts and T sergenti DNA reacted strongly but another 5 inserts and bovine DNA showed weak reation. All of the DNA inserts were not reaction, but T sergenti DNA were very weakly and bovine DNA were strongly reacted to hybridization with radio-labelled bovine DNA. Therefore, we obtained total 7 T sergenti DNA fragments in this study.

  • An attempt was made to estimate the possible homology between human and bacterial DNA by the method of DNA-agar gel hybridization. HeLa DNA was embedded in the agar and $^14C-DNA$ Xanthomonas pelargonii was used as bacterial DNA for the sheared fragments. No homology between human and bacterial DNA was detected. If homology exists at all, it can be estimated from the sensitivity of the method and assuming some 1,000 nucleotide pairs per cistron, the not more than $2\times10^5$ base pairs or 200 bacterial cistrons would be preserved in human DNA, corresponding to less than 0.01 per cent of the total human genome.

  • The determination of DNA hybridization can apply the molecular biology research, clinic diagnostics, bioengineering, environment monitoring, food science and other application area. So, The determination of hybridization is very important for the improvement of DNA detection system. In this study, we report the characterization of the DNA hybridization by the electricalchemical methods. A new electrochemical biosensor is described for voltammetric detection of gene sequence related to probe oligonucleotide of bacterium Escherichia coli O157:H7. The biosensor involves the immobilization of a 18-mer probe oligonucleotide, which is complemetary to a specific gene sequence related to Escherichia coli O157:H7 on a gold electrode through specific adsorption. The probe oligonucleotide was used to determine the amount of target oligonucleotide in solution using mitoxantrone(MTX) as the electrochemical indicators. The cathodic peak currents $(I_{peak})$ of MTX were linearly related to the concentration of the target oligonucleotide sequence in the range $1[{\mu}M]{\sim}0.1[nM]$. The detection limit of this approach was 0.01[nM]. In addition, these indicators were capable of selectivity discriminating against various mismatching condition.

  • The purpose of this study was to establish a rapid diagnostic method detecting Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV) DNA in the cultured cell monolayers (PK-15) and tissue sections of ADV(NYJ-1-87)-infected rats and pigs by in situ hybridization(ISH). Detection of specific ADV-DNA in infected cells was conducted by radiolabeled ISH method using $^{32}P-labeled $ DNA probe (BamH1 7 fragment) which contains a 6.3 Kb ADV-DNA insert. Where ADV-DNA was detected by radiolabeled ISH, the deposition of black photographic grains occurred in the nuclei and the cytoplasms of ADV-infected cells. Positive hybridization signal was often observed in the spinal trigerminal nucleus of the pons, the nucleus of the trigerminal ganglion neuron and the epithelial cells of tonsillar crypts. The results suggested that ISH is considered as a highly sensitive and reliable tool for confirmative diagnosis of this viral disease.

  • Using the different adsorption properties of ssDNA and dsDNA to GO, this study used a real time and efficient fluorescence assay to detect the enzymatic activity of the Klenow fragment with the adsorbed DNA to GO. Results showed that adsorption of fluorescein-tagged ssDNA to GO resulted in fluorescence quenching and DNA was released from GO by adding complementary DNA. In addition, fluorescence restoration was increased through a polymerization reaction by the Klenow fragment in the presence of a fluorescein-attached template, GO, and primer. Gel electrophoresis was conducted to confirm the hybridization and DNA polymerization reactions on GO.

  • Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation was investigated in a hepatoma patient using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and an in situ hybridization technique. Biotin-labeled probes for the subunit m of cytochrome c oxidase revealed differences in the in situ hybridization. A PCR assay using biopsied and microdissected tissues showed that common deletion (4,977 bp) was more pronounced in the cancer region than in the normal parts of the same patient. These results suggest that mtDNA deletion might be associated with tumorigenesis in hepatoma.

  • As the demand for large-scale analysis of gene expression using DNA arrays increases, the importance of the surface characterization of DNA arrays has emerged. We compared the efficiency of molecular biological applications on solid-phases with different surface polarities to identify the most optimal conditions. We employed thiol-gold reactions for DNA immobilization on solid surfaces. The surface polarity was controlled by creating a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of mercaptohexanol or hepthanethiol, which create hydrophilic or hydrophobic surface properties, respectively. A hydrophilic environment was found to be much more favorable to solid-phase molecular biological manipulations. A SAM of mercaptoethanol had the highest affinity to DNA molecules in our experimetns and it showed greater efficiency in terms of DNA hybridization and polymerization. The optimal DNA concentration for immobilization was found to be 0.5 ${\mu}M$. The optimal reaction time for both thiolated DNA and matrix molecules was 10 min and for the polymerase reaction time was 150 min. Under these optimized conditions, molecular biology techniques including DNA hybridization, ligation, polymerization, PCR and multiplex PCR were shown to be feasible in solid-state conditions. We demonstrated from our present analysis the importance of surface polarity in solid-phase molecular biological applications. A hydrophilic SAM generated a far more favorable environment than hydrophobic SAM for solid-state molecular techniques. Our findings suggest that the conditions and methods identified here could be used for DNA-DNA hybridization applications such as DNA chips and for the further development of solid-phase genetic engineering applications that involve DNA-enzyme interactions.
