摘要:
A method carries out a nucleic acid analysis using a nucleic acid microarray. A probe nucleic acid including a probe sequence (a') complementary to a target sequence (a) and a sequence (b') which is different from the probe sequence (a') is immobilized on the nucleic acid microarray. The method includes hybridizing the nucleic acid microarray and a labeled abnormality detecting nucleic acid (B) containing a sequence (b) which can be bound to the sequence (b'), obtaining a labeled amount value (Fc1) of the labeled abnormality detecting nucleic acid (B) from a spot (X1), and determining, based on the measured labeled amount value (Fc1), as to whether or not the spot (X1) is an abnormal spot unsuitable for detecting the target nucleic acid.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting cancer and an agent for suppressing cell growth by identification of genes showing behaviors characteristic in cancer such as esophageal carcinoma. The present invention provides a method for detecting cancer, which comprises detecting canceration through detection of amplification of at least one gene existing in an 1q32-1q41 chromosomal region in a specimen.

摘要:
A fluorescence image analyzer 10 has an imaging unit 154 for capturing a first image containing at least a part of a region of a cell as an imaging target for a plurality of cells in a sample in which a target site on a chromosome is labeled with a fluorescent dye, and a second image including fluorescence generated from a fluorescent dye labeling the target site of the cell of the first image. The processing unit 11 of the fluorescence image analyzer 10 selects a plurality of test cells having specific morphological characteristics to be tested from a plurality of cells based on at least the first image, and extracts the bright spots of fluorescence generated from the fluorescent dye from at least a plurality of test cells. The processing unit 11 identifies cells with chromosomal abnormalities and/or cells without chromosomal abnormalities based on the extracted bright spots, and generates information related to the ratio of cells with chromosomal abnormalities relative to the test cells based on the number of cells with chromosomal abnormalities and/or the number of cells without chromosomal abnormalities.
摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel method for diagnosing cancer by discovering a cancer-associated gene which could not be detected by a conventional technique, and detecting deletion, mutation, or an abnormal expression level of such cancer-associated gene. The present invention pmvides a method for diagnosing cancer which comprises a step of detecting deletion of the GMDS, ANKRD15, TEK, or EBI2 gene in a test sample by using DNA containing all or part of said gene.
摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a cancer-suppressing agent comprising a novel cancer-suppressing gene based on the discovery of such cancer-suppressing gene. The present invention provides a cancer-suppressing agent which comprises NR1I2 gene or a homologous gene thereof; and a cancer-suppressing agent which comprises NR1I2 protein or a homologous protein thereof.
