IMMUNITY AGGLUTINATION REAGENT AND IMMUNITY ANALYSIS METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide an immunity agglutination reagent by which, for coagulat ing a ribosome coagulation reagent covalent-binding antibody or antigen to ribosome as a support by antibody/antigen reaction and measuring the quantity of antibody or antigen as a coagulated quantity, the measurement can be sensi tively performed by the use of short wavelength of light, by which variation of turbidity due to coagulation can be enlargedly observed. CONSTITUTION:Ribosome is used for the support of an immunity agglutination reagent. Antibody or antigen is fixed on the surface of ribosome, and water soluble high molecular compound or gelling treated compound is included in ribosome. Coagulation by antigen/antibody reaction by the use of the immunity agglutination reagent can be sensitively measured even if the substance in a sample to be inspected is at low concentration, because the included substance increases variation of turbidity due to coagulation.
