摘要:
A high molecular hyaluronic acid which is an important factor in the diagnosis of inflammations such as rheumatism or diseases such as cancer is assayed as a complex of sandwich structure in which a hyaluronic acid binding protein is coupled to the hyaluronic acid of interest at two or more sites of binding without the need to employ a competitive reaction as in the prior art techniques of assay. The assay method of the present invention does not require a purified form of hyaluronic acid as a reagent and permits as small as 10 ng of a high molecular hyaluronic acid to be detected or quantified by a very simple operation.
摘要:
A method for the quantitative determination of antigenic substance without any confirmation test which comprises adding to a sample to be assayed an exogenous antigenic substance in a certain amount, combining the resulting mixture with an antibody specific to the antigenic substance to cause antigen-antibody reaction and measuring the amount of the precipitates formed, and a diagnostic kit for practicing the method are disclosed.
