An object of the present invention is to provide a method for measuring a glycan-marker glycoprotein, by which liver disease can be detected with higher accuracy than is possible with conventional methods. Also, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for examining liver disease, by which liver disease can be detected with higher accuracy than is possible with conventional methods. Also, an object of the present invention is to provide a reagent for quantitative determination of a glycoprotein, which is used for the above measurement methods. Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide a glycan-marker glycoprotein as an index for clinical conditions of liver disease, which is capable of identifying the clinical conditions of liver disease depending on the progress of liver disease. The method for measuring a glycoprotein is characterized in that: the glycoprotein is at least one glycoprotein selected from alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and Mac-2-binding protein (M2BP) contained in a sample collected from a subject; when the glycoprotein is AGP, AGP binding to a first lectin selected from AOL and MAL is measured; and when the glycoprotein is M2BP, M2BP binding to a second lectin selected from WFA, BPL, AAL, RCA120, and TJAII is measured.

Provided is an observation apparatus that observes tissues of an organism. The observation apparatus includes a generator that generates first data obtained by irradiating the tissues with a first infrared light with a first wavelength and second data obtained by irradiating the tissues with a second infrared light with a second wavelength being different from the first infrared light in an optical property value with respect to a water, and a comparison calculator that compares the first data with the second data to generate bodily fluid data that indicates a presence of a bodily fluid on a surface of the tissues.

The purpose of the present invention is to develop: a method for selectively separating a glycoprotein derived from the central nervous system from a body fluid or a central nervous system cell; and a method for searching for an index marker for central nervous system diseases, which utilizes the aforementioned method. A protein derived from the central nervous system, which occurs in a trace amount in a body fluid or a central nervous system cell, can be selectively enriched by a two-stage separation procedure comprising removing a glycoprotein having sialic acid at a non-reducing terminal thereof from the body fluid or the central nervous system cell and then separating a glycoprotein having N-acetylglucosamine at a non-reducing terminal thereof.

An object of the present invention is to develop and provide a lung cancer differential marker with which lung cancer can be diagnosed conveniently and highly sensitively without depending only on increase or decrease in protein expression level between cancer patients and healthy persons. Another object of the present invention is to develop and provide a glycan marker capable of distinguishing histological types of lung cancer. Of serum glycoproteins, glycopeptide and glycoprotein groups whose glycan structures were altered specifically in lung cancer cell culture supernatants were identified, and they are provided as lung cancer differential markers.

It is intended to develop and provide a method for detecting a particular glycan-isoform rapidly and specifically by a small number of steps. The present invention provides a glycan-isoform detection method comprising quantifying an immune complex formed by the mixing of a test sample with a sugar chain non-reducing terminal residue-binding lectin and an antibody specifically binding to the protein moiety of the glycan-isoform, etc., comparing the obtained amount of the immune complex with the amount of a control immune complex obtained when a control sample is not mixed with the sugar chain non-reducing terminal residue-binding lectin or is mixed with a control protein, and determining the presence or absence of the glycan-isoform of interest in the test sample on the basis of the difference between these amounts.
摘要:
In an imaging using fluorescence, for example, it is difficult to perform a surgery while a tumor part is directly confirmed in a bright operating room. A light irradiation system according to an embodiment performs an open/close control of a first eyesight of a first eyesight restrictor and a second eyesight of a second eyesight restrictor at every predetermined time interval. The light irradiation system controls a light-on of a light such that opening and closing timings of the first eyesight match a timing of a light amount control of a surgery lamp and opening and closing timings of the second eyesight match a timing of a light amount control of a fluorescence excitation light source (see FIG. 1).
