A cell sorter including a well that has a microspace filled with a liquid and having a typical length of 1 mm or less, and that has a bottom surface made of a light-permeable material allowing optical observation of an interior of the microspace; a matrix provided on the bottom surface in the well; a bone fragment placed on the matrix in the well; and osteoclasts placed between the matrix and the bone fragment.

Detection probes are provided that are capable of detecting a sequence to be detected containing a mutation even when a sequence not to be detected containing no mutation coexists with the sequence to be detected containing a mutation, which are different only in a single base from each other. At least one oligonucleotide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 2&#x2dc;16 is used as a probe. Even in a sample containing an abl gene in which a mutation has occurred and an abl gene in which no mutation has occurred, the use of such probes in, for example, Tm analysis allows the mutation to be detected.
