Abstract: There is provided a method for introducing a temperature-sensitive probe comprising a copolymer, which comprises a thermoresponsive unit and a fluorescent unit, into a cell, and the method using the copolymer further comprising a cationic unit as the temperature-sensitive probe, and the method comprising the step of mixing the copolymer with the cell in a solvent. The copolymer can be preferably used as a fluorescence temperature sensor which measures intracellular temperature since the copolymer has a cationic group and thus enters into a cell without using a special method.

Abstract: An intracellular delivery vehicle of which surface is covered by a positive charge, an intracellular delivery complex in which a component or compound desired is loaded in the intracellular delivery vehicle, a temperature-sensitive probe comprising the intracellular delivery complex, and a method for measuring the intracellular temperature by the temperature-sensitive probe are disclosed. The intracellular delivery vehicle is useful on account of its capability of easily delivering the component or compound desired inside the cell without inhibiting cell proliferation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for stabilizing an antiallergic activity of lactic acid bacteria against a high-temperature treatment and a composition for the stabilization, which can maintain an antiallergic activity of lactic acid bacteria against a high-temperature treatment, and foods and drinks such as drinks having a stabilized antiallergic activity of lactic acid bacteria, and a method for producing the same. The antiallergic activity of lactic acid bacteria can be maintained stably by making the lactic acid bacteria and polyphenols coexist, even when high-temperature treatments are conducted. As polyphenols used in the present invention, polyphenols extracted from a plant such as green tea-derived polyphenols can be used. In the present invention, various lactic acid bacteria having an antiallergic activity can be used, and in particular, lactic acid bacteria having a high antiallergic activity can be advantageously used as such lactic acid bacteria.
