METHOD AND DEVICE FOR COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF miRNA EXPRESSION LEVEL

摘要

Disclosed is a method for comparative analysis of the expression levels of target miRNAs among a plurality of body fluid samples. In the method for comparative analysis of the present invention, the expression levels of the target miRNAs in each body fluid sample are corrected using the expression level(s) of a correcting endogenous miRNA(s) that is/are simultaneously measured with the expression levels of the target miRNAs in the sample. As the correcting endogenous miRNA(s), one or more miRNAs selected from specific 10 kinds of correcting endogenous miRNAs is/are used. By the present invention, comparative analysis of target miRNAs among body fluid samples can be carried out more accurately than by conventional techniques.
