摘要:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel cancer cell detection method that uses living body-derived cells and that can be used even in cytodiagnosis. In particular, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel cancer cell detection method that makes it possible to perform imaging of cells in a living state and a dual detection method for cancer cells in which the aforementioned method is combined with a pre-existing dyeing method for cytodiagnosis. Provided is a cancer cell detection method that uses living body-derived cells and that includes: incubating living cells included in a sample taken from a person together with a fluorescently-labeled L-glucose derivative and detecting the fluorescently-labeled L-glucose derivative that is taken up into the cells; and detecting fluorescence emitted by the L-glucose derivative that is present within the cells while the cells are attached to a thin glass or plastic plate. Also provided is a dual detection method for cancer cells in which the cancer cell detection method that uses living body-derived cells is combined with a dyeing method using cells that are fixed using an alcohol or the like.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for accurately evaluating the specific incorporation of D-glucose into cells. The present invention as a means for achieving the object is characterized by comprising contacting a D-glucose derivative that has a fluorescent chromophore in the molecule and is specifically incorporated into cells and an L-glucose derivative that has a fluorescent chromophore in the molecule with different cells in the same cell strain to be evaluated, respectively, comparing the fluorescence emitted by the D-glucose derivative that has a fluorescent chromophore in the molecule and is specifically incorporated into cells with the fluorescence emitted by the L-glucose derivative that has a fluorescent chromophore in the molecule, and evaluating the specific incorporation of D-glucose into cells relative to L-glucose by taking the difference between the two kinds of fluorescence intensities.
