Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of detecting protein providing sensitivity higher than that provided by an ABC method (avidin-biotin complex method) and not affected by impurities in a specimen which have been seen as a problem in the ABC method. SOLUTION: In this method of detecting protein, a substance for recognizing protein is labeled with estradiol and then is detected by a substance for recognizing the estradiol. A protein detection reagent is provided containing the substance labeled with the estradiol for recognizing protein and the substance for recognizing the estradiol. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple method for measurement with a high sensitivity by which information indicating the approach of a labeled substance to a substance as an object of measurement can be amplified to raise an S/N ratio and the labeled substance is readily bound. SOLUTION: This method for measurement comprises bringing (a) a sample into contact with (b) a substance specifically binding to the substance as the object of measurement and bound to the labeled nucleic acid and (c) another substance specifically binding to the substance as the object of measurement and bound to the labeled nucleic acid, forming a conjugate, ligating the labeled nucleic acids of (b) and (c), amplifying a part containing at least the ligated part of the ligated nucleic acids or causing the synthesis of a nucleic acid indicating that the labeled nucleic acids are ligated, detecting the amplified nucleic acid and relating the obtained results to the presence or the amount of the present substance as the object of measurement.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solubilize the subject substance for measuring TSHR autoantibody, etc., by bringing a gene recombination human thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor(TSHR) into contact with a nonionic surfactant of a solubilizer in an aqueous medium. SOLUTION: A gene encoding a human thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor, its derivative or its variant is incorporated into a vector capable of expressing the gene in a host, the gene is expressed in the host, a gene product encoded by the gene is produced in the cell membrane of the host, a cell membrane fraction is collected from the host cell to give a gene recombination human thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor. Then the human thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor is brought into contact with a nonionic surfactant as a solubilizer in an aqueous medium to solubilize the recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor useful for measuring an anti-human TSHR autoantibody suitable for diagnosing thyropathy such as Graves' disease, etc., observing treatment process, etc.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To provide the subject protein reactive with anticathepsin E antibody, exhibiting protease activity, having a specific molecular weight, different from cathepsin E, secreted from pancreatic cancer cell and enabling the early diagnosis of diseases such as cancer by the determination of the concentration in body fluid. CONSTITUTION:The objective protein reactive with anticathepsin E antibody, having a molecular weight of about 60,000 as monomer and about 120,000 as dimer, different from cathepsin E, secreted from pancreatic cancer cell and exhibiting protease activity is produced by culturing pancreatic cancer cell in a medium, freeze-drying the supernatant collected from the culture product, dissolving the dried material in a 0.1M sodium acetate buffering solution (pH3.5) containing 1.0M of NaCl, passing the solution through a pepstatin-sepharose-4B column, thoroughly cleaning the column, eluting the adsorbed component with a 0.1M tris-HC1 buffering solution (pH8.6) containing 1.0M of NaCl and purifying the recovered protein solution by pepstatin affinity chromatography using pepstatin which is an acidic protease inhibitor.

NEW MATERIAL:A halogenated bis(4-phenoxyphenyl) ether expressed by the formula (X is halogen; a and d are 1-5: b and c are 1-4). EXAMPLE:Octadecabromobis(4-phenoxyphenyl) ether. USE:A flame retardant of polymer material having excellent heat resistancs and migration resistance. PREPARATION:Bis(4-phenoxyphenyl) ether is brominated in the presence of a proper catalyst by a halogenating reagent such as bromine, hydrogen bromide, chloride or chlorinating agent to provide the halogenated bis(4-phenoxyphenyl) ether expressed by the formula. Halogenation degree can be controlled by amount of halogenation reagent and kind of Lewis acid catalyst.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain a polymer composition useful as a highly heat-resistant and highly weather-resistant flame retardant, by mixing a polymer with a specified bis(biphenyl) diester derivative. CONSTITUTION:This polymer composition is formed by mixing a polymer with a bis(biphenyl) diester derivative of the formula (wherein X is Br or Cl, m is 0-9, n is 0-9, m+n>1, R is a 1-4C alkylene, a phenylene, or an alkylene oxide, and H atoms contained in these groups may be substituted with Br or Cl atoms.). Examples of the compounds of the formula include bis(octabromobiphenyl) terephthalate, bis(octachlorobiphenyl) terephthalate and bis(octachlorobiphenyl)-2,3-dibromosuccinate. This derivative can be obtained by, for example, reacting a phenylphenol compound with a dicarboxylic acid dichloride.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of screening a material having intermolecular interaction by fluorescence polarization measurement by suppressing rise of a background, even when a material having self-fluorescence is included in an object. SOLUTION: In this screening method of the material having intermolecular interaction to a labeled substance in an object sample by measuring fluorescence polarization from the fluorescence labeled substance, an excitation wavelength (λ1) suppressing self-fluorescence of the object sample at a fluorescence measuring wavelength (λ2) is used.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for preparing a hybridoma producing an antibody recognizing the three dimensional structure of a cellular membrane protein. SOLUTION: This method for preparing a monoclonal antibody specific to a target protein is characterized by comprising steps of mixing a group of lymphocytes obtained by immunity by using the target protein as an antigen with myeloma cells showing the protein on the surface of the cells; selectively approaching the lymphocytes showing a membrane-binding type monoclonal antibody specific to the protein in the lymphocyte group towards the myeloma cells through a specific binding of the membrane-binding type antibody with the membrane protein existing on the surface of the myeloma cells; and fusing both cells.
