Problems solved by technology

[0007] Utilizing the method of evaluating chip quality and performance by analyzing samples using multiple sensor chips and comparing the results with each other leaves a problem of not being able to distinguish between cases where the problem is related to the state or condition of the sample and cases where the problem lies in the quality and performance of the chip

Embodiment 1

[0071] In Example 1, expression peaks of circadian rhythm control genes in individual circadian peripheral tissues at clock-time intervals were examined. The process is as follows.

[0072] Initially, the circadian rhythms of the mice used in the experiments were synchronized. More specifically, the mice were bred for 2 weeks in a room in which light conditions were maintained from 8 to 20 o'clock and dark conditions were maintained from 20 to 8 o'clock the next day, so that the circadian rhythms of the mice were synchronized. Note that for the experiments, ICR mice (male, 5-week-old) purchased from Nihon SLC Abushikikaisha were used.

[0073] Next, the heart, lung, liver, stomach, spleen, and testis of the mice were sampled as circadian peripheral tissues at given time intervals, respectively, and immediately frozen with liquid nitrogen. Note that the sampling time for each internal organ is set to be every four hours at 8 o'clock determined immediately after synchronizatio...

Embodiment 2

[0083] In Example 2, the expression level of Per1 in samples collected and prepared from lungs was compared with the aforementioned data (see FIG. 1 ) for quality check and sample evaluation.

[0084] Initially, as in Example 1, the circadian rhythms of the mice used in this experiment were synchronized. Thereafter, lungs of each mouse were sampled at given times, followed by immediate freezing with liquid nitrogen. Sampling time points were set at every four hours (CT0, CT4, CT8, CT12, CT16, CT20) immediately after (CT0) synchronization of the circadian rhythm. Note that the label CT refers to the circadian rhythm time in which the lighting condition-start time is set at 0 o'clock (CT0).

[0085] Next, each lung (ling) sample was homogenized, after which total RNA was extracted from each organ using the Promega Total SV RNAIsolation Kit (Promega Inc.). Next, quantitative real-time RT-PCR (quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase reaction) was performed to mea...

Abstract

There is provided a method for checking the quality of a sensor chip using any one of (1) and (2) expressed below as a judgment index: (1) the correlation of a plurality of circadian rhythm control genes with respect to their expression levels; and (2) ) graph of specific circadian rhythm control genes with respect to their expression levels over time. There is also provided a method of evaluating whether sampling and preparation of a sample to be subjected to detection of an interaction between substances is appropriate, wherein (1) or (2) defined above is used as a judgment index. DNA and protein chips for use in this method are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for checking the quality of a sensor chip, a sample evaluation method, a DNA chip and a protein chip. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for examining the quality of a sensor chip using the expression level of a circadian rhythm control gene as an index for judgment, and to a provided sample evaluation method for detecting an interaction between substances. The present invention also relates to a DNA chip and a protein chip, each using a specific substrate area as a chip area for quality inspection or as an area for sample evaluation. Background technique [0002] In the fields of drug discovery, clinical diagnosis, pharmacogenomics, and forensic pathology, sensor chips such as DNA chips (or DNA microarrays), protein chips, etc. have recently been used for mutation analysis of genes, SNPs (single nucleotide polynucleotides) State phenomena), analysis of gene expression frequency, anal...
