CHO/dhfr- 세포에 대해 LipofectAmine$^{TM}$을 이용한 유전자 이입 효율을 증가시키기 위하여 지질과 DNA의 최적 농도를 구하였다. Reporter 유전자로서 GFP 유전자를 이용하였으며, 여러 농도의 지질 DNA로 유전자 이입된 각 세포군에서 나타나는 green fluorescence intensity를 FACS 분석함으로써 유전자 이입 효율을 정량화 할 수 있었다. 그 결과 24-well plate에서 $2.0{\mu}L$LipofectAmine$^{TM}$과 $0.4{\mu}g$ DNA를 조합하여 사용했을 때 최적의 유전자 이입 효율이 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 또한, GFP는 유전자 이입 최적화를 수행하는 데에 여러가지 면에서 유용한 수단이 될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

형광단백질 (green fluorescent protein, GFP)은 생물공정을 살피데 지표 단백질로 유용하게 사용이 된다. 본 연구에서는 쌀세포에서 외래 단백질의 발현양상을 관찰하기 위해서, 표지 단백질로 GFP를 형질전환 후 이것에서 유도된 현탁세포에서 GFP의 발현 양상을 관찰하였다. 형질전환시 GFP의 발현을 위한 프로모터로 RAmysE를 사용하였으며 이것은 배양액 중에서 당이 고갈되었을 때 강력히 작동된다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 배양액 중에 다양한 슈크로오스 농도로 쌀세포를 배양하여 세포의 성장양태 및 GFP의 발현양에 미치는 영향을 관찰한 결과 세포의 성장은 12%의 당농도에서 7.06g/L로 최적이였으며 GFP는 당을 가장 적게 사용한 3%에서 최적임을 알 수가 있었다. 이것은 세포의 성장과 GFP의 생산에 사용된 당이 반대로 영향을 미침을 알 수가 있었으며 향후 최적의 대량배양을 위해서는 세포의 성장과 산물의 생산시기를 분리한 이단계 배양법이 필요함을 암시한다.

Fluorescence of green fluorescent protein mutant, 2-5 GFP is observed during denaturation by guanidine. The fluorescence intensity decreases exponentially but the fluorescence lifetime does not change during denaturation. The fluorescence lifetime of the denatured protein is shorter than that of native form. As the protein structure is modified by guanidine, solvent water molecules penetrate into the protein barrel and protonate the chromophore to quench fluorescence. Most fluorescence quenchers do not affect the fluorescence of native form but accelerate the fluorescence intensity decay during denaturation. Based on the observations, a simple model is suggested for the structural change of the protein molecule during denaturation.

Antifreeze peptide from Myoxocephalus octodecemspinosus was overexpressed and purified in Escherichia coli. Green fluorescence protein-AFP chimera was constructed by integrating gfp and afp genes. Produced GFP-AFP chimera protein was purified using polyhistidine tag which was inserted at C-terminus. By addition of GFP-AFP chimera protein, freezing point of elution buffer was decreased from $-13^{\circ}C$ to $-20^{\circ}C$. This result suggested that GFP-AFP chimera can be considered as a potential candidate of novel inhibitor for gas hydrates.

The efficiency of transgenic livestock animal production may be improved by early selection of transgenci preimplantation embryos. To examine the possibility of GFP gene as a non-invasive marker for the early screening of transgenic embryo, the GFP gene was microinjected into rabbit zygotes and the later stages of preimplantation embryos were examined for the expression of GFP. The presence of injected DNA was detected by PCR analysis and the expression of GFP was detected by observing green fluorescence in embryos under a fluorescent microscope. Out of 108 GFP gene-injected rabbit zygotes, seventy three(67.6%) were fluorescence-positive. When 11 fluroresecence-positive blastocysts were analyzed for the presence of GFP gene by PCR, 6(54.5%) were positive, and all of the 8 flrouescence-negative blastocysts were also negative by PCR. The results indicate that the screening of transgene in rabbit embryos by PCR analysis and GFP detection could be a promising method for the preselection of transgenic embryos.

Chrysanthemums (Chrysanthemum morifolium) are susceptible to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). TMV-based expression vectors have been used in high-throughput experiments for production of foreign protein in plants and also expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) to allow visualization of TMV movement. Here, we used TMV expressing the GFP to examine the infection of chrysanthemum by a TMV-based expression vector. Viral replication, movement and GFP expression by TMV-GFP were verified in upper leaves of chrysanthemums up to 73 days post inoculation (dpi) by RT-PCR. Neither wild-type TMV nor TMV-GFP induced symptoms. GFP fluorescence was seen in the larger veins of the inoculated leaf, in the stem above the inoculation site and in petioles of upper leaves, although there was no consistent detection of GFP fluorescence in the lamina of upper leaves under UV. Thus, a TMV-based expression vector can infect chrysanthemum and can be used for the in vivo study of gene functions.

We have analyzed the fluorescence image obtaining from green fluorescence protein (GFP). In order to monitor the fluorescence of specific gene, we used the amyloid precursor protein promoter which has been known to act as a major role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. The promoter from - 3.0 kb to + 100 base pair was inserted into the gene expression monitoring GFP vector purchased from Clontech. This construct was transfected into the PC 12 and fibroblast cells and the fluorescence image was captured by two kinds of methods. One is using cheaper CCD camera and other is SIT-CCD camera. or the higher sensitivity of the fluorescence image, we developed the multiple image grabbing program. As a results, the fluorescence image by conventional CCD camera have the similar sensitivity compared with that of the SIT-camera by applying the multiple image grabbing programs. By this system. it will be possible to construct the fluorescence monitoring system with lower cost. And gene expression in real time by fluorescence image will be possible without changing the fluorescence images.

One of the biggest problems involved in transgenic animal production is lack of appropriate market genes. To overcome this problem, we tested whether the genes of SEAP (secreted alkaline phosphatase) and GFP (green fluorescence protein) on our retrovirus vectors can be applicable to the transgenic animal production. The main advantage of these marker genes over other generally mainpulation can be selected without sacrificing viability. The results obtained in this study are summarized as follows: 1. Removal of zona pellucida from the mouse zygotes did not affect embryo developments to blastocysts. 2. Co-culture of zona-free embryos with virus-producing cells for 6 hours also did not affect embryo developments to blastocysts. 3. Among 58 blastocysts developed from the zona-free zygotes co-cultured with the virus-producing cells, SEAP expression was observed from the 6 blastocysts. 4. Expression of the GFP gene was detected from the virus- producing cells but no embryo expressing the gene was counted among 50 blastocysts developed from the zona-free zygotes co-cultured with the virus-producing cells.

The efficiency of transgenic livestock production could be improved by early screening of transgene-integration and sexing of embryos at preimplantational stages before trasferring them into recipients. We examined the effciency of multiplex PCR analysis for the simultaneous confirmation of the trasgene and sex during the preimplantational development of bovine embryos and the possibility of green fluorescent protein(GFP) gene as a non-invasive marker for the early screening of transgenic embryos. The GFP gene was microinjected into the male pronuclei of bovine zygotes produced in vitro. The injected zygotes were co-cultured in TCM-199 containing 10% FCS with boving oviductal epithelial cells in a 5% CO2 incubator. Seventeen(13.0%) out of 136 gene-injected bovine zygotes developed by multiplex PCR analysis and the expression of GFP was detected by observing green fluorescence in embryos under a fluorescent microscope. Eight(67%) of 12 embryos at 2-cell to blastocyst stage were positive in the PCR analysis, but only two(11.8%) of 17 blastocysts expressed the GFP gene. Their sex was determined as 7 female and 5 male embryos by the PCR analysis. The results indicate that the screening of GFP gene and sex in bovine embryos by PCR analysis and fluorescence detection could be a promisible method for the preselection of transgenic embryos.

Hypoxia inducible factor $1\alpha$ (HIF-$1\alpha$) is a potential marker of carcicnogenesis since it is overexpresssed in many human cancers such as brain, breast, and uterus, and its role has implicated in tumor cell growth and metastasis. In this study, we established a stable cell line that express green fluorescence protein (GFP)-fused hypoxia inducible factor $1\alpha$ (HIF-$1\alpha$) and evaluated the potential use of this cell line for assessment of carcinogenicity of chemical toxicants. Western blot analysis as well as fluorescence measurements showed that protein-level of GFP-HIF-$1\alpha$ was significantly enhanced in a dose-dependent manner upon treatment of hypoxia mimicking agents such as dexferrioxamine and $CoCl_2$. Well-Known tumor promoters such as mitomycin and methyl methanesulfonate. significantly induced the fluorescence intensity of GFP-HIF-$1\alpha$, whereas the known negative controls such as o-anthranilic acid and benzethonium chloride, did not. These results indicate that HIF-$1\alpha$ could be a biological parameter for detection of tumor initiators/promoters and suggest that the GFP-HIF-$1\alpha$ cell line is a useful system for screening of carcinogenic toxicants.
