We have developed a novel method to detect PCR products from pathogen genome DNA by Zinc finger protein that can bind to double strand DNA (dsDNA) in sequence specific manner. In this study, we tried to detect Legionella pneumophila strain Philadelphia 1 using Zinc finger protein. We found the specific target DNA sequence for zinc finger protein Sp2 in L. pneumophila strain Philadelphia 1 genome DNA. Specific PCR product was successfully amplified from L. pneumophila strain Philadelphia 1 genome DNA and we used Zinc finger protein Sp2 to detect it. We succeeded in detecting the PCR products from L. pneumophila strain Philadelphia 1 genome DNA with Sp2.
