  • With continuing progress of nanotechnologies and various applications of nanoparticles, one needs to develop a quick and fairly standard assessment tool to evaluate cytotoxicity of nanoparticles. However, much cytotoxicity studies on the interpretation of the interaction between nanoparticles and cells are non-mechanistic and time-consuming. Here, we propose a simple screening method for the analysis of the interaction between several AgNPs (5.3 to 64 nm) and fluorescence-dye containing vesicles ($12{\mu}m$) acting as a biomimetic cell-membrane. Fluorescence-dye containing vesicle was prepared using a fluorescence probe (1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatryene), which was intercalated into the lipid bilayer due to their hydrophobicity. Zeta potential of all materials except for bare-AgNPs (+32.8 mV) was negative (-26 to -54 mV). The morphological change (i.e., rupture and fusion of vesicle, and release of dye) after mixing of the vesicle and AgNPs was observed by fluorescence microscopy, and fluorescence image were different with coating materials and surface charge of x-AgNPs. In the results, we found that the surface charge of nanoparticles is the key factor for vesicle rupture and fusion. This proposed method might be useful for analyzing the cytotoxicity of nanoparticles with cell-membranes instead of in vitro or in vivo cytotoxicity tests.

  • Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with the DNA probe for human chromosome 4 was used to analyse in vitro radiation induced chromosome rearrangement in peripheral lymphocyte. Translocations, dicentrics, acentrics and color junctions involving the painted chromosome were scored according to the Protocol for Aberration Identification and Nomenclature Terminology (PAINT) system. The frequency of chromosome rearrangements including reciprocal translocation, dicentric, acentric fragment and color junction increased with radiation dose. The frequency of dicentric chromosome reduced by the fixation time following irradiation, whereas that of translocation was relatively persistent. The applicability of FISH for scoring stable translocation for biological dosimetry was demonstrated.

  • In this paper, we calculate the four coefficients for the quantum theory of multiwave mixing including a local-field correction resulting from dipole-dipole interactions. We make contact with the semiclassical calculations of probe absorption and four-wave-mixing coupling coefficients, and illustrate the effects of local field corrections on resonance-fluorescence and coupled-mode-fluorescence spectra. The method uses the hybrid quantum-Langevin-equation master-equation approach of An and Sargent.

  • 각 염색체에 특이한 DNA probe를 이용하는 FISH기법은 방사선에 의해 유발된 상호전좌 및 삽입 등의 염색체의 구조적 변화를 측정하는 매우 효과적인 방법으로서 그 활용성이 증가되고 있다. 본연구는 방사선 피폭시 생물학적 선량측정법으로서 FISH기법을 활용하기 위하여 사람의 1, 2, 4번 염색체에 특이한 probe를 이용하여 고선량 단일 피폭시 유발된 각종 염색체 이상빈도를 관찰하고 이를 PAINT분류체계에 의해 분석하였다. 방사선 조사에 의한 염색체 이상빈도는 상호전좌(t)와 이동원염색체(dic)의 수가 선량 증가에 따라 같이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있으며 color junction의 수도 선량에 따라 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 상호전좌의 빈도는 이동원 염색체의 빈도보다 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 삽입(ins), 무동원염색체(ace), 및 환상염색체(r)의 수도 선량 증가에 따라 같이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 기존의 염색체재배열 분석방법과 비교해 볼 때 FISH기법은 다양한 형태의 염색체재해열을 보다 쉽게 관찰할 수 있게 하며 생물학적 선량제로서 중요한 역할을 할 것이라 기대된다.

  • A chemosensor based on a rhodamine-hydroxamate platform containing a pyridine and a cyclen binding units has been developed for the detection of $Cd^{2+}$ in aqueous solutions. The probe responds selectively toward $Cd^{2+}$ over other biologically relevant metal ions. The fluorescent probe shows 1:1 binding stoichiometry and the detection limit for $Cd^{2+}$ in water proved to be as low as 25 nM.

  • A known $Hg^{2+}$ selective rhodamine B derivatised probe 1 was reinvestigated as a colorimetric and fluorescent probe for $Cu^{2+}$ through changing the applied solvent media. Probe 1 exhibited good selectivity and sensitivity to $Cu^{2+}$ in $CH_3CN-H_2O$ (7:3, v/v, HEPES 10 mM, pH 7.0) solution with a detection limit of $9.74{\times}10^{-7}$ M. The $Cu^{2+}$ sensing event was proved to be irreversible through hydrolysis of 1 to release rhodamine B.

  • To provide a basis for a homogeneous fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) immunoassay for celiac disease, we carried out a FRET experiment using guinea pig tissue transglutaminase (tTG) and antibodies to tTG (anti-tTG) purified from rat serum. Fluorescein was utilized as the probe, and a nonfluorescent dye, QSY 7 served as the quencher. We labeled anti-tTG and tTG with fluorescein isothiocyanate and QSY 7 succinimidyl ester, respectively. Fluorescein-labeled anti-tTG was the donor, and QSY 7-labeled tTG was the acceptor of the FRET experiment. When we titrated fluorescein-labeled anti-tTG with QSY 7-labeled tTG, we observed a large decrease in the steady-state fluorescence intensity, which was due to strong FRET from fluorescein-labeled anti-tTG to QSY 7-labeled tTG. Using time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, we could also observe a decrease in the fluorescence lifetime, which confirms the steady-state data. We expect that these results might be useful in the development of a novel fluorescence immunoassay for an easy screening and follow-up of celiac patients.
