Development of Gene Expression Analysis Technique from Single-Cells by Using Micro-Tools Filled with Porous Carrier

为了从单细胞中分析基因表达，人们开发了能够准确分离目标单细胞和高效提取mRNA的微型工具。利用这些微工具实现了单个免疫细胞的基因表达和序列分析。所开发的细胞分析技术在各种细胞的基因筛选和表达分析研究中具有广泛的应用价值和潜力。

In the aim of gene expression analysis from single-cells, micro-tools enabling accurate separation of target single-cells and high efficient mRNA extraction methods were developed. Gene expression and sequence analyses from single immune cells were achieved by the methods using the micro-tools. The developed cell analysis techniques have further potential as a valuable and widely applicable for studies on gene screening and expression analyses of various kinds of cells.
