摘要:
According to the present invention, the expansion of measurable concentration range for an antigen in a sample solution can be achieved, without a step of dilution or the like. The concentration of an antigen contained in a sample solution is determined from the maximum value and/or minimum value of turbidity level detected in the observation of the transient phenomenon of turbidity, elapsed time when the maximum and/or minimum value is observed, and turbidity level.

The immunoassay method of this invention measures the content of a subject substance in a sample. The method includes the steps of: (a) preparing a mixed solution by mixing the sample and an antibody solution including a first monoclonal antibody and a second monoclonal antibody capable of specifically binding to the subject substance; and (b) measuring an optical property of the mixed solution. The first monoclonal antibody is capable of binding to a first epitope of the subject substance, and the second monoclonal antibody is capable of binding to a second epitope of the subject substance different from the first epitope. Each of the first and second epitopes exists singly in the subject substance.

摘要:
The present invention relates to an immunoreaction measuring method for measuring an antigen or antibody contained as a subject substance in a sample, wherein the sample was mixed with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of dicarboxylic acids having a hydroxyl group, dicarboxylic acids having a double bond, straight-chain dicarboxylic acids expressed by the chemical formula (1): HOOC(CH2)nCOOH (n is an integer), and the salts of these dicarboxylic acids, and an antibody or antigen as a specifically binding substance capable of specifically binding to the subject substance, to obtain an acidic reaction solution, and then an antigen-antibody complex, generated by an antigen-antibody reaction of the subject substance with the specifically binding substance in the reaction solution was detected. This makes it possible to improve a measurement value and to relax a limitation of a measurement range due to a zone phenomenon that occurs in an antigen-excess region.

The present invention provides a sensor that electrochemically determines cholesterol in low density lipoprotein by only one feed of a sample. The sensor has: an electrode system that is mounted on an electrically insulating base plate and includes at least a working electrode and a counter electrode; an enzyme layer formed on the base plate with the electrode system; and a reagent layer that is arranged before the enzyme layer in a sample solution supply path to the electrode system. The enzyme layer includes at least an oxidoreductase and an electron mediator. The reagent layer includes a reagent that depresses reactivity of cholesterol in lipoproteins other than the low density lipoprotein with the oxidoreductase, for example, a reagent that attaches to lipoproteins other than the low density lipoprotein to form a water-soluble complex.

A method for preparing a cocaine-protein conjugate easily by using a cocaine derivative having a methoxy carbonyl group and benzoyl group. This conjugate is useful for the detection of cocaine or cocaine derivatives. A monoclonal antibody, a monoclonal antibody producing cell line, and a method for producing the monoclonal antibody producing cell line by using the above cocaine-protein conjugate as an immunogen is also described. The method of the invention comprises preparing a cocaine-protein conjugate with a pyridyl dithiococaine derivative of Formula (I): where R is either H or R′; and where R′ is: wherein n=1 to 4 and Ph is a benzene ring, and wherein said monoclonal antibody detects 10−9 M cocaine; and which derivative binds to a protein by a disulfide bond; immunizing A/J mouse with the conjugate; fusing its spleen cell and a myeloma cell line; cloning the fusion to produce a monoclonal antibody producing cell line; culturing the cell line, and purifying a supernatant of the culture to form a monoclonal antibody to specifically bind to cocaine or cocaine derivatives.

摘要:
A biosensor that enables rapid and simple quantitation of a substrate with high accuracy and demonstrates an excellent preservation characteristic by best retaining enzyme activity is disclosed. The biosensor comprises an electrically insulating base plate, an electrode system including at least a working electrode and a counter electrode formed on the base plate, and a reaction layer containing at least an enzyme and a sugar. The reaction layer may be formed on the electrode system. The enzyme may be selected from glucose oxidase, glucose dehydrogenase, and fructose dehydrogenase. The sugar is trehalose, sucrose, glycerol, mannitol, and ribose. If the enzyme selected is glucose dehydrogenase whose coenzyme is pyrrolo-quinoline quinone, the use of trehalose is preferable.
