Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cell infection of bacteria and virus is identified by the sugar chain and/or membrane proteins. Various sugar chains and biding proteins are located in the cell membrane, which is responsible for the important cell functions. Therefore, improving of its mechanism analysis will be helpful to various therapies. In this study, we developed a new observation method of bacteria and virus in water. This system allows for high-resolution imaging of various biological specimens with biding proteins and sugar chain under water condition. Our new method can be utilized for analysis of bacteria and virus with sugar chain and binding protein.
