METHOD FOR DETECTION OR DETERMINATION OF HCV CORE ANTIGENS AND REAGENT FOR DETECTION OR DETERMINATION FOR USE THEREIN

摘要

PURPOSE: Provided are a method for simply detecting or determining an HCV with high sensitivity and a reagent for detecting or determining the HCV used therefor, to test virus. CONSTITUTION: An immunoassay detects or determines an HCV core antigen by forming an immune complex by conducting an antigen-antibody reaction of an alkaline phosphatase labeled anti-HCV core protein antibody with the HCV core antigen in a specimen in an aqueous solution containing a salt of a high concentration and measuring alkaline phosphatase activity in the complex. The reagent detects or determines the HCV core antigen containing the alkaline phosphatase labeled anti-HCV core protein antibody, 0.5M to saturated concentration of a salt and the reagent for measuring the alkaline phosphatase activity.
