 前記アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子は、式(1)または式(2)で示される構造を有するアミノクマリン化合物と該アミノクマリン化合物を内包する母体粒子とを有する。
 アミノクマリン化合物を内包する母体粒子は、有機粒子または無機粒子であり、アミノクマリン化合物を内包できる限り特に制限はない。
 前記有機粒子としては、熱硬化性樹脂であることが好ましい。熱硬化性樹脂は三次元的な網目構造を有するので、これに包み込まれたアミノクマリン化合物は樹脂粒子から離脱しにくく、免疫染色等の蛍光標識において好適である。熱硬化性樹脂としては、メラミン樹脂、尿素樹脂、アニリン樹脂、グアナミン樹脂、フェノール樹脂、キシレン樹脂およびフラン樹脂等を挙げることができる。これらの中でも、メラミン樹脂、尿素樹脂等のアミノ樹脂は、色素の樹脂粒子からの離脱をより効果的に抑止できる点で、特に好ましい。
The aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles have an aminocoumarin compound having a structure represented by formula (1) or formula (2) and base particles encapsulating the aminocoumarin compound.
The base particles encapsulating the aminocoumarin compound are organic particles or inorganic particles, and are not particularly limited as long as the aminocoumarin compound can be encapsulated.
The organic particles are preferably thermosetting resins. Since the thermosetting resin has a three-dimensional network structure, the aminocoumarin compound encapsulated in the thermosetting resin is not easily detached from the resin particles, and is suitable for fluorescent labeling such as immunostaining. Examples of the thermosetting resin include melamine resin, urea resin, aniline resin, guanamine resin, phenol resin, xylene resin, and furan resin. Among these, amino resins such as melamine resin and urea resin are particularly preferable because they can more effectively suppress the release of the pigment from the resin particles.

 前記無機粒子としては、シリカ粒子、ガラス粒子等を例示できる。
 母体粒子に内包されるアミノクマリン化合物の量は、特に制限はなく、アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子を免疫染色等の蛍光標識に用いる場合に、検出可能な輝度を確保できる量であればよい。
Examples of the inorganic particles include silica particles and glass particles.
The amount of the aminocoumarin compound encapsulated in the base particle is not particularly limited, and may be an amount that can ensure a detectable luminance when the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particle is used for a fluorescent label such as immunostaining.

 アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子の平均粒径は、特に制限はないが、免疫染色等の蛍光標識に用いる場合には、通常20~500nm、好ましくは80~200nmである。アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子の平均粒径が200nmを超えると標識性に問題が生じる場合があり、80nm未満であると、視認性に問題が生じる場合がある。 The average particle diameter of the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles is not particularly limited, but when used for fluorescent labeling such as immunostaining, it is usually 20 to 500 nm, preferably 80 to 200 nm. If the average particle size of the aminocoumarin compound-containing particles exceeds 200 nm, there may be a problem with labeling properties, and if it is less than 80 nm, there may be problems with visibility.

 上記平均粒径は、SEM観察でアミノクマリン化合物内包粒子の1000個について粒径を測定し、その平均値として算出される。
 アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子の製造方法は、特に制限されず、公知の方法を採用することができる。一般的には、アミノクマリン化合物の存在下に樹脂またはシリカ等の母体を形成し、アミノクマリン化合物を母体粒子の中に内包させる方法を用いることができる。
The average particle size is calculated as an average value obtained by measuring the particle size of 1000 aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles by SEM observation.
The production method of the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles is not particularly limited, and a known method can be adopted. In general, a method of forming a matrix such as a resin or silica in the presence of an aminocoumarin compound and encapsulating the aminocoumarin compound in the matrix particles can be used.

 母体粒子が有機粒子である場合には、たとえば、乳化重合法により、母体粒子を合成するための(コ)モノマーを(共)重合させながら、アミノクマリン化合物を添加し、当該(共)重合体の内部または表面にアミノクマリン化合物を取り込ませる方法を用いることができる。 When the base particle is an organic particle, for example, an aminocoumarin compound is added while (co) polymerizing the (co) monomer for synthesizing the base particle by emulsion polymerization, and the (co) polymer is added. A method of incorporating an aminocoumarin compound into the inside or the surface of can be used.

 母体粒子がシリカ等の無機粒子である場合には、たとえば、ラングミュア 8巻 2921ページ(1992)に記載されているFITC内包シリカナノ粒子の合成方法を参考にすることができる。FITCの代わりにアミノクマリン化合物を用いることでアミノクマリン化合物内包シリカナノ粒子を合成することができる。 In the case where the base particles are inorganic particles such as silica, for example, the method for synthesizing FITC-encapsulated silica nanoparticles described in Langmuir Vol. 8, Vol. 9, page 2921 (1992) can be referred to. Aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated silica nanoparticles can be synthesized by using an aminocoumarin compound instead of FITC.

 アミノクマリン化合物内包樹脂粒子は、最大励起強度を与える波長が475~510nmであり、最大発光強度を与える波長が510~540nmであることが好ましい。
 式(1)で表わされるアミノクマリン化合物を樹脂に内包させて製造されたアミノクマリン化合物内包樹脂粒子は、そのアミノクマリン化合物のスルホン基を水素原子で置換して形成されるアミノクマリン化合物を樹脂に内包させて製造されたアミノクマリン化合物内包樹脂粒子に比較して、発光強度が強い傾向がある。これは、式(1)で表わされるアミノクマリン化合物は、該アミノクマリン化合物のスルホン基を水素原子で置換して形成されるアミノクマリン化合物よりも、樹脂に内包されやすい性質があり、樹脂により多く取り込まれるからであると推測される。
In the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulating resin particles, the wavelength that gives the maximum excitation intensity is preferably 475 to 510 nm, and the wavelength that gives the maximum emission intensity is preferably 510 to 540 nm.
The aminocoumarin compound-encapsulating resin particle produced by encapsulating the aminocoumarin compound represented by the formula (1) in the resin is obtained by replacing the sulfone group of the aminocoumarin compound with a hydrogen atom. Compared with aminocoumarin compound-encapsulating resin particles produced by encapsulation, the emission intensity tends to be strong. This is because the aminocoumarin compound represented by the formula (1) is more easily included in the resin than the aminocoumarin compound formed by replacing the sulfone group of the aminocoumarin compound with a hydrogen atom. It is presumed that it is taken in.

 本発明の蛍光標識法は、前記アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子を用いて標識を行う。前記蛍光標識法としては、免疫染色法およびFISH等を挙げることができる。免疫染色法およびFISHの具体的な操作方法は特に限定されず、公知の方法を用いることができる。色素粒子にて標識を行う従来の免疫染色法またはFISHにおいて、前記色素粒子として前記アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子を使用すればよい。 In the fluorescent labeling method of the present invention, labeling is performed using the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles. Examples of the fluorescent labeling method include immunostaining and FISH. The specific operation method of immunostaining and FISH is not particularly limited, and a known method can be used. In the conventional immunostaining method or FISH for labeling with dye particles, the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles may be used as the dye particles.

 免疫染色法の場合、前記アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子を用いて、HER2およびKi67の他、PDL1、CTLA4、CD8、CD30、CD48およびCD59などの染色対象タンパク質に対しても染色することができる。 In the case of immunostaining, the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles can be used to stain not only HER2 and Ki67 but also proteins to be stained such as PDL1, CTLA4, CD8, CD30, CD48, and CD59.

 本発明の蛍光標識法は、前記アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子を用いた標識を含む多重標識であってもよい。すなわち、2つ以上の標識対象に対してそれぞれ異なる色素を用いて多重標識を行い、その染色対象の少なくとも1つを、前記アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子を用いて標識することができる。たとえば、複数の標識対象について、そのうちの一部の標識対象に対して前記アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子を用いて標識を行い、他の標識対象に対して緑色以外の発光を示す色素を含む粒子を用いて標識を行って、複数の標識対象を緑色と緑色以外の色とで別々に標識化することができる。 The fluorescent labeling method of the present invention may be a multiple label including a label using the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles. That is, multiple labeling can be performed on two or more labeling targets using different dyes, and at least one of the staining targets can be labeled using the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles. For example, for a plurality of labeling targets, some of the labeling targets are labeled using the aminocoumarin compound-containing particles, and particles containing a dye that emits light other than green are used for other labeling targets. Thus, a plurality of objects to be labeled can be separately labeled with green and a color other than green.

 たとえば、免疫染色法においては、PDL1、CTLA4、CD8、CD30、CD48およびCD59から選択される少なくとも2つの染色対象タンパク質に対してそれぞれ異なる色素を用いて多重染色を行い、前記染色対象タンパク質の少なくとも1つを、前記アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子を用いて染色することができる。そうすれば、たとえば、PDL1をアミノクマリン化合物内包粒子によって緑色に染色し、CTLA4を赤色で染色して、PDL1とCTLA4とを異なる色で標識化するということが可能になる。
 この多重染色においては、PDL1、CTLA4、CD8、CD30、CD48、CD59、IDO、 TDO、CSF-1R、HDAC、CXCR4、FLT-3、TIGIT、INF-α、INF-β、INF-ω、INF-ε、INF-κ、INF-γ、INF-λ CSF、EPO、EGF、FGF、PDGF、HGF、TGF、CD3、CD4、CD25、CD28、CD80、CD86、CD160、CD57、OX40(別名CD134)、OX40L(別名CD252)、ICOS(別名CD278)、ICOSL(別名CD275)、CD155、CD226、CD112、CD27、CD70、4-1BB(別名CD137)、4-1BBL(別名CD137L)、GITR(別名CD357)、GITRL、BTLA(別名CD272)、HVEM(別名CD270)、TIM-3、Galectin-9、LAG-3(別名CD223)、B7-H3(別名CD276)、B7-H4、B7-H5、CD40、CD40L、PD-1、PD-L2、2B4(別名CD244)、KLRG-1、E-Cadherin、N-Cadherin、R-Cadherin、CD68、CD163およびCSF1-R から選択される少なくとも2つの染色対象タンパク質に対してそれぞれ異なる色素を用いて多重染色を行い、前記染色対象タンパク質の少なくとも1つを、前記アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子を用いて染色することができる。
For example, in the immunostaining method, multiple staining is performed on at least two proteins to be stained selected from PDL1, CTLA4, CD8, CD30, CD48 and CD59 using different dyes, and at least one of the proteins to be stained is selected. Can be dyed using the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles. Then, for example, PDL1 can be stained green with aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles, CTLA4 can be stained with red, and PDL1 and CTLA4 can be labeled with different colors.
In this multiple staining, PDL1, CTLA4, CD8, CD30, CD48, CD59, IDO, TDO, CSF-1R, HDAC, CXCR4, FLT-3, TIGIT, INF-α, INF-β, INF-ω, INF- ε, INF-κ, INF-γ, INF-λ CSF, EPO, EGF, FGF, PDGF, HGF, TGF, CD3, CD4, CD25, CD28, CD80, CD86, CD160, CD57, OX40 (also known as CD134), OX40L (Aka CD252), ICOS (aka CD278), ICOSL (aka CD275), CD155, CD226, CD112, CD27, CD70, 4-1BB (aka CD137), 4-1BBL (aka CD137L), GITR (aka CD357), GITRL , BTLA (aka CD272), HVEM (aka CD2) 0), TIM-3, Galectin-9, LAG-3 (aka CD223), B7-H3 (aka CD276), B7-H4, B7-H5, CD40, CD40L, PD-1, PD-L2, 2B4 (aka alias) CD244), KLRG-1, E-Cadherin, N-Cadherin, R-Cadherin, CD68, CD163 and CSF1-R are subjected to multiple staining using different dyes, respectively, At least one of the proteins to be stained can be stained using the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles.

 前記アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子を用いて標識を行うと、明瞭な緑色の輝点が確認でき、赤色領域などの他の色領域への漏れ込みが小さい。このため、特定の標識対象に対して前記アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子を用いて緑色の標識を行い、他の染色対象に対して赤色色素を含む色素粒子を用いて赤色の標識を行うと、得られる緑色の輝点は赤色領域への漏れ込みが小さく、緑色の輝点と赤色の輝点との良好なバランスが得られる。 When labeling is performed using the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles, a clear green bright spot can be confirmed, and leakage into other color regions such as a red region is small. For this reason, it is obtained by labeling a specific labeling object with green using the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulating particles and labeling another staining object with red particles using a red pigment. The green luminescent spot has little leakage into the red region, and a good balance between the green luminescent spot and the red luminescent spot can be obtained.

 前記アミノクマリン化合物は、前記アミノクマリン化合物以外のクマリン化合物に比較して、赤色領域に近い発光領域を有するが、前記アミノクマリン化合物内包粒子を用いて標識を行うと、前記アミノクマリン化合物以外のクマリン化合物を含む色素粒子よりも、赤色領域への漏れ込みがむしろ小さいという効果が得られる。 The aminocoumarin compound has a light emitting region close to a red region as compared with a coumarin compound other than the aminocoumarin compound. When labeling is performed using the aminocoumarin compound-encapsulated particles, a coumarin other than the aminocoumarin compound is used. The effect that the leakage into the red region is rather smaller than that of the pigment particles containing the compound is obtained.
