Patent number: 10451635Abstract: The present invention relates to a beef-specific age determination marker containing the p21 protein, to an antibody specifically bound to bovine p21 protein, to a beef-specific age determination kit containing the antibody which is specifically bound to the bovine p21 protein, and to a method which involves detecting the bovine p21 protein through an antigen-antibody binding reaction using the antibody which is specifically bound to the bovine p21 protein serving as a beef-specific age determination marker in the muscle tissue of beef, so as to determine the age of the beef. According to the present invention, the p21 protein is significantly greatly expressed in the muscle tissue of beef, the age of which is lower than 30 months, and is hardly expressed in the muscle tissue of beef, the age of which is greater than 30 months, and thus can be valuably used as a beef-specific age determination marker.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: KOREA BASIC SCIENCE INSTITUTEInventors: Ik Soon Jang, Jong Soon Choi, Joseph Kwon, Dong-Gi Lee, Kyeong Eun Yang

Patent number: 10094831Abstract: Disclosed herein are a norovirus detection sensor and an electrochemical sensing method using the sensor. Specifically, in the norovirus detection sensor including a bioreceptor and a signal detector, a three-dimensional gold nanosurface electrode is used as a substrate, and the bioreceptor employs concanavalin A as a sample capture agent immobilized to the substrate and capable of binding to norovirus. Therefore, the norovirus detection sensor has improved sensitivity by employing the three-dimensional gold nanosurface electrode having a wide surface area. In addition, the norovirus detection sensor has effects of reducing manufacturing costs using a non-antibody material, i.e., concanavalin A which is inexpensive and readily available.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2014Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignees: GWANGJU INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, KOREA BASIC SCIENCE INSTITUTE, INDUSTRY FOUNDATION OF CHONNAM NATIONAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Sung Yang, Du-Woon Kim, Joseph Kwon, Sung-A Hong, Jong-Soon Choi, Heemin Lee
