本発明に係る保存液は、
蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子の保存液であって、
蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子を該保存液に添加することにより得られる粒子含有液について、該添加直後における該粒子含有液を基準としたときの、該添加から24時間静置後における該粒子含有液の高さ中心部の後方散乱強度(透過光)の変化の割合が-1%以上である。
D=(I24-I0)/I0×100
に基づいて求められる、この粒子含有液についての高さ中心部の後方散乱強度(透過光)の変化の割合D(%)が、D≧-1の関係を満たす。ここで、この変化の割合Dは、本発明の保存液による保存を行った蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子についての凝集度合いを見るものであり、保存液による、蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子の保存性能を評価する尺度となるものである。
(1)蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子を保存液に添加して、粒子含有液を得る工程;
(2)前記粒子含有液について、添加直後に、該粒子含有液の高さ中心部の後方散乱強度(透過光)I0を測定する工程;
(3)前記粒子含有液を24時間静置後、再度該粒子含有液の高さ中心部の後方散乱強度(透過光)I24を測定する工程;
(4)前記I0およびI24をもとに、下記要件を満たすか否かを判定する工程。
ここで、本発明において、上記変化の割合Dを求める基準とする「後方散乱強度(透過光)」は、光源からの光が、試料を透過しながらあるいは、散乱を繰り替えしながら直進することにより得られる透過光あるいは後方散乱光の強度をいう。
本発明の保存液は、上述したように、上記変化の割合D(%)が本発明で規定する特定の範囲を満たすものである。ここで、そのような変化の割合D(%)を満たす本発明の保存液を、具体的にどのような構成とするかについては、保存対象とする蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子の種類および表面修飾の状態などによっても変わるものであり、あえて一律に厳密な形で特定することはしないものの、本発明の保存液は、典型的には、緩衝液、蛋白質、界面活性剤を含む。
本発明の保存液を構成しうる蛋白質は、蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子の機能を損ねず、かつ、蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子の凝集を防ぐことのできるものである限り特に限定されるわけでない。ただ、本発明の保存液が、病理染色に用いる蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子を保存するために用いられる場合、染色対象とする細胞組織への非特異吸着を防ぐことのできるものが望ましい。したがって、好適な蛋白質として、BSA、カゼインなど一般にブロッキング剤として用いられる蛋白質が挙げられる。
本発明の保存液を構成しうる界面活性剤は、蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子の機能を損ねず、かつ、蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子の凝集を防ぐことのできるものである限り特に限定されるわけでない。ただ、本発明の保存液が、病理染色に用いる蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子を保存するために用いられる場合、蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子は、本発明の保存液で稀釈された状態のまま病理染色に供されることがある。ここで、細胞組織のうち、細胞核のある部分は核酸を構成するリン酸残基により負に荷電しており、細胞核以外の部分は、正に荷電しやすい傾向にある。したがって、細胞組織への非特異吸着をできるだけ少なくする上では、界面活性剤として、非イオン性界面活性剤を用いることが望ましい。その中でも、Tween(登録商標)系界面活性剤などのポリオキシエチレンソルビタン脂肪酸エステルを好適に用いることができ、そのうち、Tween(登録商標)20を特に好適に用いることができる。
本発明の保存液を構成しうる緩衝液は、蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子の機能を損ねない限り特に限定されるわけでなく、従来公知の種々の緩衝液を用いることができる。

本発明の適用対象となる蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子を構成する樹脂は、熱硬化性樹脂であっても、熱可塑性樹脂であってもよい。たとえば、キシレンのような有機溶媒を用いる透徹工程において蛍光色素が溶出しにくいという観点からは、緻密な架橋構造の内部に蛍光色素を固定化することができる、メラミン樹脂等の熱硬化性樹脂を含有する樹脂が好ましい。ここで、本発明の好適な態様において、本発明の適用対象となる蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子を構成する樹脂は、熱可塑性樹脂、より具体的には、メラミン樹脂等の熱硬化性樹脂のみからなる樹脂である。
本発明の適用対象となる蛍光色素内包樹脂粒子は、上記蛍光色素および樹脂からなるものであり、表面修飾を施したものであってもなくても良い。
