| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We found that the HER2 / HER3 heterodimer can be detected by a technology developed using FRET between fluorescent nanoparticles developed independently. Furthermore, in order to clarify whether this physical phenomenon correctly detects the dimer, the efficiency of energy transfer is studied using a sample in which the distance between fluorescent particles is controlled, and the energy transfer is generally performed only when the dimer is formed. However, some of the particles that are the donor of the fluorescence and the particles that are the acceptor do not correspond on a one-to-one basis, or some of the particles that only exist in the vicinity without forming a dimer were detected. It is necessary to continue to consider the method of evaluation excluding
