Method for identifying olfactory receptor included in one olfactory cell

[0115]The following reference example 1 was performed to determine which the olfactory receptor genes olfrs are amplified with the pair of the primers represented by SEQ ID: 01 and SEQ ID: 02.

[0116]To start with the conclusion, the olfactory receptor genes olfrs which can be amplified by a PCR method using the pair of the primers represented by SEQ ID: 01 and SEQ ID: 02 are listed in the following Table 7 as “Olfactory receptor gene group A”.

TABLE 7(Olfactory receptor gene group A)Olfr17, Olfr33, Olfr62, Olfr67, Olfr155, Olfr156, Olfr157,Olfr159, Olfr290, Olfr420, Olfr544, Olfr545, Olfr548-ps1, Olfr559,Olfr560, Olfr564, Olfr566, Olfr569, Olfr582, Olfr584, Olfr585,Olfr606, Olfr617, Olfr618, Olfr619, Olfr630, Olfr646, Olfr648,Olfr652, Olfr665, Olfr666, Olfr668, Olfr690, Olfr702, Olfr708,Olfr713, Olfr1030, and Olfr1402(Total: thirty eight kinds)

[0117]The olfactory receptor genes olfrs listed in Table 7 corresponds to the olfactory receptors Olfrs of the mouse olfactory receptor group A.
