| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed an ELISA system, which can quantify the transformed dioxin receptor (aryl hydrocarbon receptor, AhR) protein using dioxin responsive element (DRE) oligonucleotide probe. In this study, we tried to further improve this system and to measure dioxins in the farm and marine products more conveniently. Unfortunately, during this research period we could not reach a comparative study between the official method and the improved ELISA method. As a result of measuring dioxins in the shrimps by the official method, 10 times higher concentrations of dioxins were detected in one specimen from a foreign country compared to the other two specimens. It is expected to develop a simple measurement method at the market and processing stage.
