摘要:
The present invention provides a method of quickly and accurately detecting and/or assaying an antigen using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), which involves a fluorescence-labeled antibody fragment and a non-fluorescence-labeled intact antibody that form a complex with the antigen. There is a significant difference in diffusion rate between the fluorescence-labeled antibody fragment not bonded to the antigen and the complex formed by the the fluorescence-labeled antibody fragment, the antigen, and the non-fluorescence-labeled intact antibody, and this diffusion rate can be determined using FCS. The antigen can be an antigenic protein, such as an abnormal prion or a harmful protein contained in a food material. According to this method, antigens over a wide scope can be assayed regardless of the shape or molecular weight.

The present invention provides a water-soluble fluorescent material having a luminescent region at a visible range and having excellent luminescent efficiency. The present invention relates to a water-soluble fluorescent material having a semiconductor nanocrystal; a linear or cyclic phenol compound having hydrophilic group and hydrophobic group that coats at least a portion of the surface of the semiconductor nanocrystal; and a coordinating organic compound coating at least a portion of the surface of the semiconductor nanocrystal.
摘要:
The present invention is to provide a method of quickly detecting an antigen at an arbitrary concentration in an antigen sample, without a multi-stage examination of the concentration ratio between a detection reagent and an antigen to be detected, particularly when the concentration of the antigen in the sample is unknown, in the method of detecting an antigen using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) or fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCCS). By preparing (1) a series to which only a detection reagent is added and (2) a series to which an antigen and the detection reagent are added to achieve a maximum trimer concentration, and by performing a fluorescence spectroscopic analysis, the presence or absence of the antigen in the detection sample is quickly detected by the presence or absence of a trimer detection signal from a detector in the cases of (1) and (2), in a method of detecting an antigen by FCS or FCCS using as a detection reagent a fluorescent-labeled intact antibody or fluorescent-labeled antibody fragment targeted to an epitope of the antigen to be detected, and a non-fluorescent-labeled intact antibody or fluorescent-labeled intact antibody or fluorescent-labeled antibody fragment targeted to another epitope of the antigen.
摘要:
A pulse generation part outputs a first ON pulse signal for turning a switching device on to a control part on based on the leading edge of a signal from the outside of a semiconductor device. The pulse generation part subsequently outputs a second ON pulse signal for turning the switching device on to the control part based on the same leading edge of the signal as the first ON pulse signal after a lapse of prescribed time after outputting the first ON pulse signal. Even if the control part cannot output an ON signal to the switching device based on the first ON pulse signal, the control part can output an ON signal based on the second ON pulse signal.

The module-type connector according to the present invention defines the connectable connectors with a rigid supporting plate which extends along the connecting direction in order to make it easy to properly fit a male connector to a female connector. In the module-type connector, the contacting portions of the contacts that are shifted in the separation direction of the corresponding terminal with which the contacting portions contact are almost uniformly distributed. Further, the male connector that receives a preliminary load from different levels in the direction so that opposing elastic contacting portions are widened by engaging between the first end portion of each contact within a housing and the different levels of the housing, has at least a protruding portion that protrudes from the contacting surface of the plurality of contacts toward the contacting surface thereof and that is provided between contacts.

摘要:
The efficiency of liquid hydrocarbon fuel is increased by subjecting it to both magnetic forces and radioactive or laser rays. The fuel may be treated by the magnetic forces and rays either simultaneously or alternately. Furthermore, the magnetic forces and radioactive rays can be applied once or can be repeatedly applied. Devices are shown which accomplish these procedures.
