Turbidimetric
immunoassay of insoluble carrier particles that can inhibit the
agglutination reaction of insoluble carrier particles such as latex by inhibiting the effect of
plasma components that affect the measured value, stabilize the
agglutination reaction, stabilize the
absorbance of the reaction solution, and obtain accurate measurement results A
reagent for measurement, a kit for insoluble carrier particle turbidimetric
immunoassay, and a method for insoluble carrier particle turbidimetric
immunoassay using the
reagent or kit. In the presence or absence of a buffer containing a compound containing the following groups in the molecule, such as broad bean
pyrimidine glucoside, tricoflavone, etc., the insoluble carrier particles are loaded with antibodies or antigens, and then, in the presence of the above buffer , the insoluble carrier
particle suspension sensitive to the
antibody or
antigen is in contact with the test body, and an immunoagglutination reaction occurs, and the concentration produced is measured through the
agglutination reaction of the insoluble carrier particles, and the
antigen or
antibody in the test body is quantified. (In the formula, R1, R2, and R3 can be the same or different, and represent a
hydrogen atom, a hydroxyalkyl group, etc.)
