摘要:
A method for assessing the proliferation inhibiting effect of a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor is described. In the method, a cytoplasm is separated from a tumor cell to prepare a sample containing various receptor tyrosine kinases. The prepared sample is treated with the inhibitor. The receptor tyrosine kinases in the treated sample, and a substrate for at least two kinds of receptor tyrosine kinases are contacted. The phosphorylated substrate is detected, and the activity value of the receptor tyrosine kinases is measured based on the detection result. The proliferation inhibiting effect is assessed based on the resulting activity value.

A tyrosine kinase substrate is described. The tyrosine kinase substrate comprises a fusion protein which comprises a protein for labeling and a specific peptide fused with the protein for labeling. The specific peptide has an amino acid sequence including a glutamic acid residue and a tyrosine residue. The tyrosine kinase substrate is capable of being phosphorylated by a plurality of kinds of tyrosine kinases.

A method for measuring the activity of a receptor kinase present in a cell membrane of a cell is described. The method comprises steps of preparing a sample containing the receptor kinase by separating a cytoplasm from the cell, contacting the receptor kinase in the sample with a substrate to phosphorylate the substrate with the activity of the receptor kinase, binding a labeling substance to the phosphorylated substrate, and measuring the activity of the receptor kinase based on a result of detection of the labeling substance bound to the phosphorylated substrate.

摘要:
A camera is provided which is adapted to receive a photographic lens having a diaphragm. The camera includes a detection unit configured to execute electric charge accumulation for detecting a defocus amount when the diaphragm is in a state having a first aperture value, and a controller configured to, when causing the diaphragm to perform an aperture reducing operation from the first aperture value to a second aperture value, cause the diaphragm to start the aperture reducing operation without waiting for completion of the electric charge accumulation for detecting the defocus amount by the detection unit.
摘要:
An imaging apparatus according to the present invention can generate an image from an output of an image sensor to record the image as an image file, and record first information and second information onto the image file as additional information. Accordingly, the imaging apparatus can provide a user or a staff person of a repair center with useful information regarding a failure, repair, and replacement that conventionally could not be provided.
