Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we successfully detected claudins which are abnormally expressed on cancer cells by Quenchbody(Q-body)-based simple and convenient novel immunoassay method. We constructed Q-body using anti-claudin antibody gene and measured the fluorescent intensity in the present of purified claudin. As a result, the intensity was claudin-concentration dependently increased and showed the maximum 3.1-fold response. Moreover, when we added the Q-body into the claudin-expressed cells, it showed significant fluorescent, indicating the effort of this Q-body for imaging the over-expressed claudins.
