Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method for measuring a cell concentration in a sample, the method including the following steps of: (1) measuring the number of copies of a specific gene and a gene of an external standard in a plurality of standard samples each having a known cell concentration by using digital PCR (dPCR); (2) normalizing the measured value of the specific gene measured in the step (1) using the measured value of the external standard and creating a calibration curve on the basis of the normalized value and the known cell concentration; (3) measuring the number of copies of the same specific gene and gene of the external standard in a sample having an unknown cell concentration by using dPCR; and (4) normalizing the measured value of the specific gene measured in the step (3) using the measured value of the external standard and determining a cell concentration using the calibration curve created in the step (2) from the normalized value.

1 . A method for measuring a cell concentration in a sample, the method comprising the following steps of: (1) measuring the number of copies of a specific gene and a gene of an external standard in a plurality of standard samples each having a known cell concentration by using digital PCR (dPCR); (2) normalizing the measured value of the specific gene measured in the step (1) using the measured value of the external standard and creating a calibration curve on the basis of the normalized value and the known cell concentration; (3) measuring the number of copies of the same specific gene and gene of the external standard in a sample having an unknown cell concentration by using dPCR; and (4) normalizing the measured value of the specific gene measured in the step (3) using the measured value of the external standard and determining a cell concentration using the calibration curve created in the step (2) from the normalized value. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the step (1), measurement of the number of copies of a specific gene and measurement of the number of copies of a gene of an external standard are simultaneously performed. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a matrix of each of the standard samples used for creating a calibration curve is different from a matrix of the sample used for measuring a cell concentration. 4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein accuracy of the value of the cell concentration determined in the step (4) is within ±35%. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein precision of the value of the cell concentration determined in the step (4) is within ±35%. 6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the specific gene is LINE-1 gene. 7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the specific gene is REXO1L1 gene.
