Abstract
The present invention is related to a method of analyzing an optical signal which analyzes a signal substance induced by a photosensitive protein, includes the steps of introducing a gene which expresses a luminescent probe to analyze the signal substance into an organism sample, emitting a stimulus light to activate the photosensitive protein, and detecting an optical signal emitted by the organism sample.
Claims20
A method of analyzing an optical signal which analyzes a signal substance induced by a photosensitive protein, comprising the steps of:
- introducing a gene which expresses a luminescent probe to analyze the signal substance into an organism sample;
- emitting a stimulus light to activate the photosensitive protein;
- and
- detecting an optical signal emitted by the organism sample.
A method of analyzing an optical signal which analyzes first and second signal substances induced by a photosensitive protein, comprising the steps of:
- introducing a gene which expresses a first luminescent probe to analyze the first signal substance and a gene which expresses a second luminescent probe to analyze the second signal substance into an organism sample;
- emitting a stimulus light to activate the photosensitive protein;
- and
- detecting, among the optical signals emitted by the organism sample, an optical signal derived from the first signal substance and an optical signal derived from the second signal substance.
An optical signal analysis system which analyzes a signal substance induced by a photosensitive protein, comprising:
- a stimulus light emitting unit which emits a stimulus light to activate the photosensitive protein;
- and
- a luminescent image pickup unit which picks up a luminescent image in which an optical signal emitted by an organism sample is formed.
An optical signal analysis system which analyzes first and second signal substances induced by a photosensitive protein, comprising:
- a stimulus light emitting unit which emits a stimulus light to activate the photosensitive protein;
- and
- a luminescent image pickup unit which picks up a luminescent image in which, among optical signals emitted by an organism sample, an optical signal derived from the first signal substance and an optical signal derived from the second signal substance are separately formed.
