Abstract
We developed a new infectious disease diagnostic system in order to raise the lifesaving rate in systemic inflammatory reactive syndrome, SIRS. Using eukaryote-derived thermostable DNA polymerase, the sensitive and reliable detection of bacteria becomes feasible for large fields, thereby making the development of a wide range of powerful applications possible. Further, we have established a novel measurement system for NF-kappaB activity using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy(FCS) because the elevation of NF-kappaB activity reflects acute inflammation. NF-kappaB activity measurement in patients with SIRS may provide a useful inflammatory marker.
