    摘要: A method for measuring a specific physiologically active substance of biological origin includes preparing a mixed solution of an AL reagent and a sample containing the physiologically active substance and detecting the aggregation or gelatinization of a protein in the mixed solution while agitating the mixed solution, thereby detecting the physiologically active substance or measuring the concentration of the physiologically active substance in the sample. A predetermined fluorescence emission is imparted to a substance involved in the aggregation or gelatinization in the sample to be measured and/or the AL reagent, and the fluorescence emitted from the substance involved in the aggregation or gelatinization is measured or observed in the mixed solution. In this manner, the aggregation or gelatinization in the mixed solution can be detected.
