Team description for Shenzhen_SFLS
Shenzhen_SFLS is an energetic iGEM high school team which represents Shenzhen Foreign Languages High School [1], located in Shenzhen, China.
Shenzhen&Shenzhen Foreign Languages School
Shenzhen is a beautiful seaside city located in southern China, which is next to Hong Kong. Within thirty years Shenzhen has developed from a fishing village to a world class city. It’s a young city, but has endless energy and potential.
Shenzhen Foreign Languages School is one of the best high schools in Shenzhen. Our school lies in Yantian District beside the Wutong Mountain, the highest peak in Shenzhen. Every morning we open our eyes, breathe in the fresh air and start a good day. SFLS is the acronym of our school name. It is a part of our team name because we love SFLS. We are proud to be SFLSers!

Project
Project Description
Shenzhen_SFLS 2014 project description
To begin with
Aflatoxin B1 generated by Aspergillus flavus is a kind of lethal toxin that always contaminates the grains we eat. Aimed to minimize the harm, our project will use antibody to neutralize aflatoxin B1.
Neutralizing Aflatoxin B1
By optimizing the circuit, aflatoxin will be combined with certain antibodies, and further be immobilized on E.coli’s membrane protein.
In conclusion
As long as the plan is carried out smoothly, the circuits would be connected into a system. The system will start to produce ScFv and it will automatically neutralize aflatoxin B1. At the same time, the antibody will be pulled back to the cell membrane ofE.coli. If our project is carried out successfully and is applied in real life, human beings would benefit from it to a great extent. In fact, aflatoxin contamination in agriculture and animal husbandry causes a loss of hundreds of million dollars per year. Despite the harsh current situation, we still believe that our relentless effort will bring the problem to an end. The contaminated grains would be detoxified until they are eligible. To be optimistic, many problems the whole population face about human health such as the storage of grains, the food's safety and medical hygiene problems would be solved by our project.
