▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - Analyzing a target particle in a specimen involves (a) dispensing specimen into first1to firstncontainers configured to capture target particle, (b) removing a contaminant other than the target particle to be captured from the specimen, adding first to m-th probes to the first1to firstn containers, where first to m-th probes have at least a binding portion that specifically binds to one of first to m-th surface markers of target particle and a nucleic acid reporter portion including a common amplification sequence to which a common primer set binds and a specific amplification sequence to which a specific primer set binds and which is disposed in a region amplified by the common amplification sequence in which the binding portion and specific amplification sequence are different from each other between the first to m-th probes, and (c) removing excessive first to m-th probes that have not bound to the target particle. USE - Method for analyzing target particle in specimen. ADVANTAGE - The method analyzes target particle in specimen, which simultaneously and comprehensively analyzes type, amount and concentration of multiple target particles that is contained in a specimen. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Analyzing a target particle in a specimen involves (a) dispensing specimen into first1 to firstn containers configured to capture target particle, (b) removing a contaminant other than the target particle to be captured from the specimen, adding first to m-th probes to the first1 to firstn containers, where first to m-th probes have at least a binding portion that specifically binds to one of first to m-th surface markers of target particle and a nucleic acid reporter portion including a common amplification sequence to which a common primer set binds and a specific amplification sequence to which a specific primer set binds and which is disposed in a region amplified by the common amplification sequence in which the binding portion and specific amplification sequence are different from each other between the first to m-th probes, (c) removing excessive first to m-th probes that have not bound to the target particle, (d) individually amplifying the reporter portion for each of the first1 to firstn containers by using the common primer set to obtain first to n-th amplification products (e) removing an excessive common primer set from first to n-th amplification products, (f) dispensing the first to n-th amplification products into second1 to secondm containers respectively, amplifying the amplification products in the second1 to secondm containers by using the first to m-th specific primer sets, respectively, and (g) analyzing presence or absence or types of the target particles captured in first1 to firstn containers by determining types of surface markers present in first1 to firstn containers from the presence or absence of amplification product by the specific primer set in the second1 to secondm containers, where n and m are integers of 2 or more.
