Reagent Kit for Determining an Analyte in a Sample by Agglutination

Abstract

A reagent kit for determining an analyte in a sample by agglutination includes a first reagent containing a first specific binding substance that is a substance that can specifically bind to the analyte; and a second reagent containing microparticles having a second specific binding substance bound thereto, the second specific binding substance being a monoclonal antibody against the first specific binding substance.

1 . A reagent kit for determining an analyte in a sample by agglutination, comprising:
 a first reagent containing a first specific binding substance that is a substance that can specifically bind to the analyte; and   a second reagent containing microparticles having a second specific binding substance bound thereto, the second specific binding substance being a monoclonal antibody against the first specific binding substance.   
     
     
         2 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the second reagent further contains an analyte-bound carrier that is a carrier to which a plurality of analytes or a plurality of sites of the analytes that are recognized by the first specific binding substance are bound. 
     
     
         3 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the first specific binding substance is an antibody against the analyte. 
     
     
         4 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the microparticles are of latex or gold colloid. 
     
     
         5 . The kit of  claim 2 , wherein the first specific binding substance is an antibody against the analyte. 
     
     
         6 . The kit of  claim 2 , wherein the microparticles are of latex or gold colloid. 
     
     
         7 . The kit of  claim 3 , wherein the microparticles are of latex or gold colloid. 
     
     
         8 . The kit of  claim 5 , wherein the microparticles are of latex or gold colloid.
