Abstract: A light-emitting device includes: a light source including: a plurality of light-emitting parts, each having a first main surface serving as a light-exiting surface, and a second main surface on a side opposite the first main surface, and each comprising a first electrode and a second electrode at the second main surface, and a covering member integrally holding the plurality of light-emitting parts such that the first electrode and the second electrode are exposed from the covering member; and a substrate having an upper surface and comprising, at the upper surface: a plurality of first wiring portions, each of which is opposed to a corresponding one of the first electrodes of the light-emitting parts, and a plurality of second wiring portions, each of which is opposed to a corresponding one of the second electrodes of the light-emitting parts.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for measuring an immunostimulatory response of an immune cell, including (i) bringing a measurement target immune cell into contact with an immunostimulator, (ii) forming a contact surface with a substance different from the measurement target immune cell on the measurement target immune cell, (iii) bringing the measurement target immune cell into contact with a capturing body that binds to a surface antigen on the contact surface and is capable of generating an optical signal, (iv) detecting the optical signal generated from the capturing body, and (v) determining whether or not the measurement target immune cell from which the contact surface has been eliminated before detecting the optical signal has an immunostimulatory response, based on the detected optical signal.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for analyzing immune cells, comprising the steps of mixing whole blood containing immune cells with an immunostimulatory factor in vitro and labeling target molecules of the immune cells, and a step of acquiring information on localization of the target molecules on the immune cells by detecting the label.

Abstract: A cell information acquisition method may include: binding a binding substance to a receptor on a cell membrane surface of a cell, the binding substance being bindable to the receptor; permeabilizing a cell membrane of the cell after the binding; labeling a receptor in an intracellular area of the cell with a binding substance labeled with a first labeling substance after the permeabilizing; causing a specimen including the cell to flow through a flow path after the labeling; irradiating the cell included in the specimen flowing through the flow path with light; and acquiring a signal based on light generated from the first labeling substance in the cell irradiated with light.

Abstract: A problem to be addressed is to provide a method that can evaluate the state of undifferentiated cells without destroying cells. The above problem is solved by providing a method for evaluating the state of undifferentiated cells. The method includes: measuring at least one miRNA selected from miR371, miR372, and miR373 in a liquid phase fraction of a liquid that contains undifferentiated cells; and evaluating a state of the undifferentiated cells on the basis of a measurement value of the miRNA.
