Summary: | To solve the problem that the conventional method of forming a wound field used in drug discovery and development work uses a jig, so it can only be used in up to 96-well plates.SOLUTION: A non-contact cell removal method that removes cells by irradiating them with a pulsed laser becomes possible to form a wound field even in 384-well plates and 1536-well plates, which have smaller well sizes than 96-well plates. Furthermore, by generating plasma in the laser irradiation part during laser irradiation, water contained in a culture solution present in the surroundings is decomposed into ions to produce a cleaning function in the area where cells were attached, and an area in which there is a high possibility that no proteins such as cadherin remain is formed in the cell-free area to be a wound field.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
【課題】創薬開発作業などに用いられるwound fieldの従来の形成方法は治具を用いる方法であるため、96ウェルプレートまでしか対応することができなかった。【解決手段】パルスレーザを照射することにより、細胞を除去するという非接触な細胞除去方法により、96ウェルプレートよりもウェルのサイズが小さい384ウェルプレートおよび1536ウェルプレートについてもwound fieldを形成することができるようになる。さらに、レーザ照射時にレーザ照射部にてプラズマを発生させることにより、周囲に存在する培養液に含まれる水分をイオン分解し、細胞が接着していた部分のクリーニング機能を生じさせ、wound fieldとなる細胞のない領域には、カドヘリンなどのたんぱく質などが残留していない可能性が高い領域を形成する。【選択図】図5 |
