Our final goal is to develop the universal diagnosis kit. But if we express more than one modified antigen receptor, signal from these receptors will be cross-talked. To prevent this crosstalk, we decided to selectively express specific modified receptor. Our first plan was to embed all gene of modified antigen receptors with promoter whose activators are different. But these idea have some problems. First of all, though we don't activate genes, there are expressions of genes. It is not possible to suppress gene 100%. So we planned to use the 'conjugation' of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. So we will make 'antigen-binding' yeasts of different antigens and 'signal-transduction' yeast separately. And the diagnostician conjugate 'antigen-binding' yeast of certain antigen and common 'signal transduction' yeast before the diagnosis.

Our Final Goal

Our final goal is to develop the universal diagnosis kit for every disease whose antibody is produced. To perform this goal, the yeast should express modified antigen receptor of wanted disease, STAT1 proteins and have GFP gene whose promoter have GAS element.
