Title:
METHOD FOR DETERMINING QUANTITY OF BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL IN TISSUE SECTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/045962
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
 The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method for detecting a specific tissue/cell in a sampled tissue section and accurately specifying an expression position and expression amount of a biological material of interest that is expressed on the specific tissue/cell. This method for determining the quantity of a biological material in a tissue section includes (1) performing immunostaining (first immunostaining) capable of bright field observation, for specifically staining a first biological material in the tissue section, (2) performing immunostaining (second immunostaining) through use of nanoparticles encapsulating a phosphor for specifically staining a second biological material in the tissue section, (3) specifying the expression position of the second biological material in the tissue section by comparing the position of a staining image of the first immunostaining and the position of a staining image of the second immunostaining, and (4) specifying the expression amount of the second biological material by measuring the amount of fluorescence of the staining image of the second immunostaining.
