Abstract:
본 발명은 단백질의 O- GlcNAcylation에 대한 정보를 내포하는 O- GlcNAc 펩타이드의 분리 및 동정 방법에 관한 것이다. 본 발명에 따르면, 펩타이드의 세린 또는 트레오닌 잔기에 결합되어 있는 인산기 또는 O- GlcNAc의 화학적 변형 없이 쉽고 빠르게 O- GlcNAc 펩타이드를 인산화 펩타이드와 분리해 낼 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 분리된 O- GlcNAc 펩타이드의 서열 및 O- GlcNAc의 수식화 위치를 규명할 수 있다. 따라서 본 발명은 O- GlcNAc 펩타이드의 분석을 통한 새로운 질병 메커니즘 연구, 치료제 및 진단용 마커의 개발 등에 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A composition for early diagnosing Alzheimer's disease is provided to easily diagnose dementia based on C methylation ratio in CpG. CONSTITUTION: A composition for early diagnosing Alzheimer's disease contains a formulation which measures methylation level of PEG1(paternally expressed gene 1) promoter. A method for early diagnosing Alzheimer's disease comprises: a step of treating bisulfite to genome DNA isolated from blood; a step of performing PCR of the genome DNA using a PEG1 promoter-specific primer; a step of determining methylation ratio of C in CpG; and a step of diagnosing dementia when the C methylation level is higher than a healthy person.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for isolating and identifying O-GlcNAc peptide using metal-affinity chromatography is provided to quickly and easily isolate O-GlcNAc peptide from phosphorylated peptide without chemical modification, and to identify the peptide sequence and modification site from the isolated O-GlcNAc peptide. CONSTITUTION: A method for isolating and identifying O-GlcNAc peptide comprises: a step of performing metal-affinity chromatography of a sample containing a phosphorylated peptide and O-GlcNAc peptide; and a step of adsorbing and removing the phosphorylated peptide onto a column. Metals used for metal affinity chromatography are TiO_2, ZrO_2, GaO_4, or FeO_2. The method also comprises: a step of adding a dithiothreitol(DTT) affinity tag to O-GlcNAc peptide in the sample by BEMAD method; and a step of purifying O-GlcNAc peptide using thiol affinity chromatography. The method further comprises a step of analyzing O-GlcNAc peptide by LC-MS(liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry). [Reference numerals] (AA) Target sample to be analyzed; (BB) Metal affinity chromatography; (CC) O-GlcNac peptide containing sample; (DD) BEMAD method; (EE) DTT added peptide; (FF) Thiol chromatography, LC-MS/MS mass spectrometry; (GG) O-GlcNac peptide
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for diagnosing type 2 diabetes by measuring the level of beta-myloid autoantibodies in the body fluid is provided to early and simply diagnose type 2 diabetes. CONSTITUTION: A method for diagnosing type 2 diabetes comprises: a step of reacting a body fluid sample to a reactor coated with an antigen protein which specifically binds to beta-amlyoid autoantibodies; a step of detecting an antigen-antibody reactant using a secondary antibody-label conjugate and chromogenic substrate solution of a label; and a step of confirming the concentration of the beta-amyloid autoantibody. The body fluid is blood. The label of the secondary antibody conjugate is HRP(horseradish peroxidase), alkaline phosphatase, cholid gold, fluorescein, or dye.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus and method for diagnosing Alzheimer diseases(AD) through measurement of vitamin D-binding protein is provided. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for diagnosing Alzheimer contains an antibody which binds with vitamin D-binding protein, and a label which is conjugated with the antibody and generates proportional signal to total content of the antibody conjugated to vitamin D-binding protein. A bio sample is blood, serum, plasma, or platelet. The label is gold particle, color polystyrene micro particle, enzyme, fluorescent dye, conductive polymer, magnetic particle or peroxidase. A diagnosis strip(10) for Alzheimer disease comprises: a sample pad(12) receiving a liquid-phase sample; an adhesive pad(14) containing label-attached conjugate; a porous membrane pad(16) in which a binder is fixed; and an absorption pad(18) which finally receives liquid-phase sample.
