Abstract: In an embodiment, an object of the present invention is to provide a double-stranded nucleic acid complex having a novel structure. In an embodiment, the present invention relates to a nucleic acid complex comprising a first nucleic acid strand and a second nucleic acid strand, wherein said first nucleic acid strand: (1) is capable of hybridizing to at least a part of a target transcriptional product; (2) has an antisense effect on the target transcriptional product; and (3) is a gapmer comprising a central region, and a 5? wing region and a 3? wing region, said second nucleic acid strand comprises at least one sugar-unmodified central region (first exposed region) consisting of one sugar-unmodified ribonucleoside or two or three contiguous sugar-unmodified ribonucleosides linked by an internucleoside bond, which is or are complementary to a part of said first nucleic acid strand, and said first nucleic acid strand is annealed to said second nucleic acid strand.

Abstract: Provided are an inspection jig and an inspection apparatus in which a configuration for bending a plurality of contacts in the same direction can be simplified. The inspection jig includes a plurality of contacts each of which has a rod shape, a first support portion that supports the first end portion side of the plurality of contacts, and a second support portion that supports the second end portion side of the plurality of contacts. The first support portion includes a facing support plate that is disposed to face the second support portion in a manner separated from the second support portion and has a plurality of through holes through which the plurality of contacts are inserted, and a cross section of each of the through holes has an elliptical shape whose major axis extends in a predetermined specific direction along a plane direction of the facing support plate.
