  • Patent number: 8574925
    Abstract: An object of this invention is to provide a fluorescence analysis method that enables analysis (including imaging) of in vivo substances, etc., using antigen-antibody reactions to be carried out simply, at high sensitivity, and yet continuously and in real time.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 2005
    Date of Patent: November 5, 2013
    Assignee: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.

  • Patent number: 6780978
    Abstract: This invention allows the fluorescence analysis of a nonfluorescent dye with high specificity and high sensitivity by virtue of the formation of a complex among an antibody directed against an immunogen having the nonfluorescent dye, an antiserum containing the antibody, and the nonfluorescent dye, which is an IgG fraction of the antibody, as well as, of the manifestation of fluorescent ability of the dye, which would otherwise be nonfluorscent, resulting from the formation of the complex. Also, the invention enables higher sensitivity in fluorescence measurement where the background fluorescence is less, by employing Malachite Green which will turn into a fluorescent dye.

  • Patent number: 6437099
    Abstract: An antiserum containing an antibody, which when combined with an immunogen having a nonfluorescent dye, confers fluorescent ability to the dye. In particular, an antiserum which confers fluorescent ability on a conjugate of an immunogenic substance and Malachite Green.

  • Patent number: 5843658
    Abstract: The present invention provides an in situ monitoring of the decomposing activity against oligonucleotides target in a biological tissue. A single-chain oligonucleotide target comprises an appropriate number of nucleic acid bases to be examined with an energy donor and an energy acceptor respectively at its 5'- and 3'-terminals. Monitoring of the fluorescence changes of the target after injection into a biological tissue, particularly the fluorescent resonance energy transfer(FRET) phenomena between the energy donor and acceptor, indicates whether the oligonucleotide is not decomposed yet.
