Title:
METHOD FOR QUANTIFYING ODORS, CELLS USED IN SAME, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAID CELLS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/035476
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for constructing a device for causing a plurality of receptors to be expressed in respectively different eukaryotic cells upon nucleic acids within through-holes, housing a plurality of eukaryotic cells within the through-holes of the device and causing the receptors to be expressed therein, collectively measuring the degree of activation of the plurality of receptors by a test substance, and evaluating the degree of activation as a specific numerical value. Provided is an array which includes a substrate and a hydrophobic coating film upon the substrate, the hydrophobic coating film having a plurality of through-holes, and a nucleic acid containing a gene which codes for a prescribed receptor being provided in the interior of each through-hole in a manner touching the substrate.
