Description
一方、このような表面プラズモン共鳴(SPR)現象を応用した表面プラズモン励起増強蛍光分光法(SPFS)の原理に基づき、SPR装置100よりもさらに高精度にアナライトの検出を行えるようにした表面プラズモン励起増強蛍光測定装置(以下、SPFS装置ともいう)も開発されている。
ところで、SPR装置100のリガンド固定領域106やSPFS装置200のリガンド固定領域206へ試料溶液を供給する方法としては、例えば流路を用いて送液する供給方法が知られている。
特許文献1に開示されたセンサ構造体400では、図15に示したように金属薄膜404上のリガンド固定領域406の上に、複数の貫通穴410を有するウェル部材408を配設し、各貫通穴410内に試料溶液412を供給して貯留させることで、貫通穴410内のリガンド固定領域406にアナライトが捕捉されるようにしている。
本発明の表面プラズモン励起増強蛍光測定装置は、
誘電体部材と、前記誘電体部材上に形成された金属薄膜と、前記金属薄膜上に形成されたリガンド固定領域と、を備えたセンサ部材と、前記センサ部材上に固定され前記リガンド固定領域と対応する位置に貫通穴を有するウェル部材と、から成るセンサ構造体と、
前記センサ構造体の金属薄膜に向かって励起光を照射する光源と、前記光源より前記金属薄膜に励起光を照射し、前記金属薄膜上の電場を増強させて前記金属薄膜上の前記リガンド固定領域に保持された蛍光物質を励起させ、これにより励起された蛍光を検出する光検出手段と、を少なくとも有する装置本体と、
を備え、
前記センサ構造体が、前記装置本体に対して着脱されて使用される、または前記装置本体に対して固定されて使用されるよう構成された表面プラズモン励起増強蛍光測定装置であって、
前記センサ構造体のウェル部材の貫通穴によって規定された底面領域の重心位置から所定距離離間した位置に、前記励起光の光軸中心が位置するよう前記励起光の照射位置が設定されていることを特徴とする。
誘電体部材と、前記誘電体部材上に形成された金属薄膜と、前記金属薄膜上に形成されたリガンド固定領域と、を備えたセンサ部材と、前記センサ部材上に固定され、前記リガンド固定領域と対応する位置に貫通穴を有するウェル部材と、から成るセンサ構造体の前記リガンド固定領域に固定されたリガンドにアナライトを捕捉させ、さらに前記アナライトを蛍光物質で標識する工程と、

励起された蛍光を光検出手段にて測定する工程と、
を少なくとも有する蛍光検出方法であって、
前記蛍光物質を励起させる工程において、
前記センサ構造体のウェル部材の貫通穴によって規定された底面領域の重心位置から所定距離離間した位置に、前記励起光の光軸中心が位置するよう前記励起光が照射されることを特徴とする。
このような蛍光検出方法であれば、特定物質を精度良く検出することができる。
前記励起光の照射位置が、
前記ウェル部材の貫通穴によって規定された底面領域の重心位置から前記貫通穴の外形端までの最短距離を100%とした場合、前記重心位置から1~75%の範囲で離間した位置であることを特徴とする。
前記蛍光物質を励起させる工程において、
前記励起光の照射位置が、
前記ウェル部材の貫通穴によって規定された底面領域の重心位置から前記貫通穴の外形端までの最短距離を100%とした場合、前記重心位置から1~75%の範囲で離間した位置であることを特徴とする。
このような範囲に励起光の照射位置を規定すれば、精度良く特定物質を検出することができる。
前記センサ構造体は、撹拌されて使用されることを特徴とする。
前記アナライトを蛍光物質で標識する工程において、
前記センサ構造体は、撹拌されることを特徴とする。
前記ウェル部材の前記貫通穴には、前記貫通穴の底に向かって次第に径が小さくなる逆テーパーが付されていることを特徴とする。
このように貫通穴が構成されていれば、蛍光検出の際に放射状に生ずる蛍光を確実に集光することができる。したがって、精度良く特定物質を検出することができる。
前記ウェル部材の前記貫通穴の形状が、点対称な形状であることを特徴とする。
前記リガンド固定領域に固定されるリガンドが1種類であることを特徴とする。
このように構成すれば、1種類のアナライトを検出することができる。

このように構成すれば、同一条件での検査や多項目検査、さらにはリファレンスなどを1つのセンサ構造体で行うことができる。
前記ウェル部材には、前記貫通穴が1つ設けられていることを特徴とする。
このように貫通穴が1つであれば、加工が容易であり、リガンド固定領域の高い位置決め精度も要求されないのでセンサ構造体の製造を容易に行うことができる。
前記ウェル部材には、前記貫通穴が複数設けられていることを特徴とする。
このように貫通穴が複数で有れば、同一条件での検査や多項目検査、さらにはリファレンスなどを1つのセンサ構造体で行うことができる。
前記センサ構造体と前記光源とを、相対的に移動させて調整する位置調整手段を有することを特徴とする。
前記ウェル部材の前記貫通穴の内壁面に、非特異吸着防止用の表面処理が施されていることを特徴とする。
本発明の表面プラズモン励起増強蛍光測定装置(SPFS装置)は、リガンド固定領域に固定されたリガンドに捕捉されたアナライトを標識した蛍光物質を、確実に励起させて高感度に蛍光検出を行うものである。
さらに「ウェル部材の貫通穴によって規定された底面領域」とは、貫通穴の金属薄膜側の開口端で区画された領域のことである。
また別の製造方法として、誘電体部材12の上面に金属薄膜14を成膜した後、金属薄膜14上に、予め貫通穴20の内壁面に非特異吸着防止用の表面処理を施したウェル部材18を配設し、貫通穴20内にリガンドを含有した溶液を注入することで、貫通穴20の底面に位置する金属薄膜14の上にのみリガンドを固定化させるようにしても良い。
そして、センサ構造体22の誘電体部材12側には、誘電体部材12内に入射され、金属薄膜14に向かって励起光24を照射する光源26を備え、さらに光源26から照射され金属薄膜14に反射した反射光28を受光する受光手段30が備えられている。
光源26から照射される励起光24としてはレーザ光が好ましく、波長200~900nm、0.001~1,000mWのLDレーザ、または波長230~800nm、0.01~100mWの半導体レーザが好適である。
光検出手段34としては、超高感度の光電子増倍管、または多点計測が可能なCCDイメージセンサを用いることが好ましい。
光学フィルタとしては、減光(ND)フィルタ,ダイアフラムレンズなどが挙げられる。
また、検体中に含有されるアナライトは、例えば、核酸(一本鎖であっても二本鎖であってもよいDNA,RNA,ポリヌクレオチド,オリゴヌクレオチド,PNA(ペプチド核酸)等、またはヌクレオシド,ヌクレオチドおよびそれらの修飾分子),タンパク質(ポリペプチド、オリゴペプチド等),アミノ酸(修飾アミノ酸も含む。),糖質(オリゴ糖,多糖類,糖鎖等),脂質,またはこれらの修飾分子,複合体などが挙げられ、具体的には、AFP(αフェトプロテイン)等のがん胎児性抗原や腫瘍マーカー,シグナル伝達物質,ホルモンなどであってもよく、特に限定されない。
また、センサ部材10上にウェル部材18を固定する際には、誘電体部材12と同じ光屈折率を有する接着剤,マッチングオイル,透明粘着シートなどを用いることが好ましい。
また、このようなSPFS装置1は、光源26から金属薄膜14に照射される励起光24による表面プラズモン共鳴の最適角(共鳴角θa)を調整するため、角度可変部(図示せず)や、光検出手段34に入力された情報を処理するためのコンピュータ(図示せず)などを有しても良いものである。
なおセンサ構造体22を円運動で撹拌すると、ウェル部材18の貫通穴20内で試料溶液が円を描くように移動される。この時、リガンド固定領域16におけるリガンドとアナライトとの反応量がどのように分布するか、撹拌後のリガンド固定領域16に金コロイドで染色して調べたところ、ウェル部材18の貫通穴20によって規定された底面領域の重心位置Aを起点にして、ドーナッツ状に反応量の高い箇所が分布していることが確認された。
逆テーパー44の傾斜角度θbとしては、集光効率を高める上で0°より大きく45°以下の範囲内であることが好ましい。
また、図9に示したように、複数の貫通穴20を有するウェル部材18を用いても良く、この場合には貫通穴20毎に異なるリガンド16e~16hを固定化するようにしても良いものである。
誘電体部材12の上面に金属薄膜14を成膜した後、金属薄膜14上に検出対象となるアナライトと特異的に吸着するリガンドを固定してリガンド固定領域16を形成した。
次いでセンサ構造体22の貫通穴20内に検体(アナライト)を含有した試料溶液を注入し、これを円運動で撹拌する撹拌装置にセットして撹拌させた。
