example 1

(1) Production of Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Hollow Fibers

[0057] An acrylic resin with a mass molecular weight of about 90,000, which was composed of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and methyl acrylate (MA) in a monomer ratio of 82:18, was used as a source material and melt-extruded using an extruder through a spinning nozzle having a circular outlet, thereby obtaining hollow fibers with an outer diameter of 0.3 mm, an inner diameter of 0.2 mm and a length of 600 mm.

(2) Production of a Hollow Fiber Alignment

[0058] Two perforated plates of 0.1 mm thickness were placed one upon another, each of which had 9 holes (diameter: 0.32 mm; center-to-center distance: 0.42 mm) arranged in a 3 by 3 array, and 9 hollow fibers prepared above were then threaded through the respective holes in these perforated plates. The space between these two perforated plates was set to 50 mm and the hollow fibers were fixed under tension at two points, 50 mm and 100 mm from one end.

example 2

[0085] The same procedure as used in Example 1 was repeated to prepare slices, except that monomer solution A and capture probe A were replaced by monomer solution D and capture probe B (SEQ ID NO: 5), respectively. Capture probe B was constructed to have a terminal methacrylate group by introducing an amino group at the 5′-terminus and then reacting the same with glycidyl methacrylate.

[Monomer Solution D]

[0086] Dimethylacrylamide (0.27 g) and methylenebisacrylamide (0.03 g) were dissolved in a 50 / 50 (by mass) mixture of glycerine and pure water to give a total volume of 10 ml.

[0087] Hybridization and washing were performed as follows.

[0088] A hybridization solution was prepared, which was supplemented with 1 pmol / ml oligonucleotide E (SEQ ID NO: 6) including, as a part thereof, a complementary sequence to the nucleotide sequence of capture probe B (...

example 3

[0096] The same procedure as used in Example 2 was repeated, except that monomer solution D was replaced by monomer solution A. FIG. 2 shows the fluorescence intensity per compartment, along with an image of the washed hollow fiber and its surrounding area. The center of each compartment was determined as appropriate. As a result, the distribution of fluorescence intensity in the hybridized compartments was uniform.

Abstract

The present invention provides a biological substance-immobilized gel which comprises a gel containing 2%-7% by mass of N,N-dimethylacrylamide and a biological substance immobilized on and/or in the gel.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a biological substance-immobilized gel and a biological substance-immobilized gel microarray using the same. The microarray is used for analysis of gene expression, etc. BACKGROUND ART [0002] The decoding of human genome is now progressing and helping clarify causal relations between various diseases or diatheses and specific gene sequences. For example, such a gene analysis is intended to use for predicting the onset of diseases, side effects of drugs, etc. [0003] A means conventionally used for gene analysis is gel-based electrophoresis. In recent years, capillary gel electrophoresis has been developed with the aim of separating and analyzing trace amounts of biological samples in a short time. Capillary gel electrophoresis uses glass capillaries filled with a hydrogel such as acrylamide. [0004] In addition, microarrays carrying multiple capture probes for DNA or protein detection (i.e., probes capable of capturing target DNA...
