It is intended to provide novel primers to be used in gene amplification reactions for detecting human cytokeratins (Human CK). A primer containing an oligonucleotide comprising a base sequence which is selected from among the the 270- to 1375-th regions of the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 and the regions of complementary strands thereof and represented by, for example, any of SEQ ID NOS:2 to 341 is constructed. Further, a primer containing an oligonucleotide comprising a base sequence which is selected from among the 270- to 930-th regions of the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:342 and the regions of complementary strands thereof and represented by, for example, any of SEQ ID NOS:343 to 434 is constructed. Furthermore, a primer containing an oligonucleotide comprising a base sequence which is selected from among the 340 to 490-th regions or the 495- to 1050-th regions of the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:435 and the regions of complementary strands thereof and represented by, for example, any of SEQ ID NOS:436 to 474 is constructed.

A probe set is described that includes a first probe having a target-binding substance and a base sequence X1, a second probe having a base sequence X2c and a base sequence X1c hybridizable with the base sequence X1, and a third probe having a base sequence X2 hybridizable with the base sequence X2c. A method for detecting a target substance is also described.

An optical information measuring apparatus includes: a light source section capable of emitting a plurality of light beams; a light guiding section for directing and supplying the plurality of light beams from the light source section to an object; an object lens arranged facing the object; a plurality of light receiving sections for respectively receiving the light beams from the object via the object lens; and a frame section for integrally mounting a plurality of optical elements including the light source section, the light guiding section, the object lens, and the light-receiving sections.

Optical information measuring apparatus

A multiple light source unit includes a plurality of light sources for emitting light beams. There is a condensing lens and the light beams are parallel to an optical axis of the condensing lens. Included is a mirror for directing the light beams from the plurality of light sources to the condensing lens. A light guiding element for receiving the condensed light beams through a light receiving section and for emitting the light beams through a light emitting section is also provided. The light beams from the plurality of light sources are incident, through respective positions on the condensing lens, into the light receiving section of the light guiding element.
