Development of a package-free transparent disposable biosensor chip for simultaneous measurements of blood constituents and investigation of its storage stability

A package-free transparent disposable biosensor chip was developed by a screen-printing technique. The biosensor chip was fabricated by stacking a substrate with two carbon electrodes on its surface, a spacer consisting of a resist layer and an adhesive layer, and a cover. The structure of the chip keeps the interior of the reaction-detecting section airtight until use. The chip is equipped with double electrochemical measuring elements for the simultaneous measurement of multiple items, and the reagent layer was developed in sample-feeding path. The sample-inlet port and air-discharge port are simultaneously opened by longitudinally folding in two biosensor units with a notch as a boundary. Then the shape of the chip is changed to a V-shape. The reaction-detecting section of the chip has a 1.0 microl sample volume for one biosensor unit. Excellent results were obtained with the chip in initial simultaneous chronoamperometric measurements of both glucose (r=1.00) and lactate (r=0.998) in the same samples. The stability of the enzyme sensor signals of the chip was estimated at ambient atmosphere on 8 testing days during a 6-month period. The results were compared with those obtained for an unpackaged chip used as a control. The package-free chip proved to be twice as good as the control chip in terms of the reproducibility of slopes from 16 calibration curves (one calibration curve: 0, 100, 300, 500 mg dl(-1) glucose; n=3) and 4.6 times better in terms of the reproducibility of correlation coefficients from the 16 calibration curves.     

Association of Bactericera cockerelli (Homoptera: Psyllidae) with "zebra chip," a new potato disease in southwestern United States and Mexico

A new defect of potato, Solanum tuberosum L., "zebra chip," so named for the characteristic symptoms that develop in fried chips from infected potato tubers, has recently been documented in several southwestern states of the United States, in Mexico, and in Central America. This defect is causing millions of dollars in losses to both potato producers and processors. Zebra chip plant symptoms resemble those caused by potato purple top and psyllid yellows diseases. Experiments were conducted to elucidate the association between the psyllid Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc) (Homoptera: Psyllidae) and zebra chip by exposing clean potato plants to this insect under greenhouse and field conditions. Potato plants and tubers exhibiting zebra chip symptoms were tested for phytoplasmas by polymerase chain reaction. Potato psyllids collected from infected potato fields also were tested. Results indicated that there was an association between the potato psyllid and zebra chip. Plants exposed to psyllids in the greenhouse and field developed zebra chip. In the greenhouse, 25.8 and 59.2% of tubers exhibited zebra chip symptoms in the raw tubers and fried chips, respectively. In the field, 15 and 57% of tubers showed symptoms in raw tubers and chips, respectively. No zebra chip was observed in tubers from plants that had not been exposed to psyllids, either in the greenhouse or field. No phytoplasmas were detected from potato plants or tubers with zebra chip symptoms, suggesting that these pathogens are not involved in zebra chip. Of the 47 samples of potato psyllids tested, only two tested positive for the Columbia Basin potato purple top phytoplasma.     

Development of a novel nano-Invader DNA chip system

By taking advantage of a homogeneous Invader assay, a miniaturized genotyping chip system termed nano-Invader was developed. The system is sensitive to 0.1 zeptomole of genomic DNA per well without prior PCR amplification. Its accuracy was determined by comparing both the genomic DNA chip and probe chip formats to PCR-RFLP. To determine the assay's capabilities in large-scale analysis, DNA samples from the Coriell Cell Repository and an additional 62-probe sets were tested with the genomic DNA and probe chip nano-Invader formats, respectively. Several hundred samples were genotyped in less than an hour, from purified genomic DNA to data analysis. With its ease of handling, speed, accuracy, sensitivity and cost-effectiveness, this chip system, especially its probe chip format, will meet a demand for high-throughput multiple genotyping in the coming era of personalized medicine.

Gene expression spectra in human leukemia HL-60 cells treated with EGCG

To decipher the molecular mechanism of EGCG induced HL-60 cell apoptosis, alterations of gene expression spectra in HL-60 cell line cells after treatment with EGCG were screened by cDNA chip, and analyzed with the GenePix 3.0 twice; and the cDNA chip results further identified by RT-PCR. Ninety-seven genes among the total 8398 (1.15%) showed consistent significant differential expression in the duplicated cDNA chip assessments. Thirty-nine genes (40.2%) were up-regulated and 58 genes (59.8%) were down-regulated; and the randomly selected four performed RT-PCR results agreed with the cDNA chip data. The results suggest that the apoptosis of HL-60 cells induced by EGCG is a progressive transformation process regulated by a variety of genes.
