In a method for immunologically quantifying a steroid, it is possible to exclude a steroid from cyclodextrin when a standard solution containing the steroid included in cyclodextrin is treated with a surfactant, which thereby suppresses the deviation in behavior of the antigen-antibody reaction between the specimen (test sample) and the standard solution, and then significantly improves the accuracy of steroid quantification.

Disclosed is a highly sensitive assay method and assay kit for HBsAg, which do not require treatment with a strong acid or alkali in the sample pretreatment, and which is less susceptible to influences by the autoantibodies. The assay method for hepatitis B virus s antigen in a sample separated from a living body includes: a pretreatment step of mixing a sample with a pretreatment reagent containing a reducing agent, to reduce hepatitis B virus s antigen; and an immunoassay step of subjecting the pretreated sample to an immunoassay of hepatitis B virus s antigen using at least one antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof capable of antigen-antibody reaction with a reduced peptide composed of the amino acids at positions 98 to 179 of hepatitis B virus s antigen.
摘要:
The present invention provides a technique for reducing contamination with impurities in a system of operating an extracellular vesicle. More specifically, the present invention provides a method of washing an extracellular vesicle and the like. The method includes washing the extracellular vesicle with a nonionic surfactant that is a chain compound containing a structure represented by —O—(—CH2—CH2—O—)x—H, wherein x is a value defined in the description.

An object of the present invention is to provide a technique that suppresses a background value of a detection signal to construct an immunoassay system for detecting a modified nucleobase. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for measuring a modified nucleobase including incubating a nucleic acid sample and a capture probe in a solution and measuring a modified nucleobase using an antibody against the modified nucleobase in the presence of an absorbent polynucleotide in the obtained solution. The present invention also provides a kit for measuring a modified nucleobase including a capture probe, an absorbent polynucleotide, and an antibody against a modified nucleobase.

[PROBLEMS] It is an object to provide a gripping mechanism that enables inhibition of possible static electricity and contamination in a gripping object such as a reaction container, while enabling the orientation of the gripping object to be stabilized.[MEANS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS] The gripping mechanism is a gripping mechanism for gripping a cuvette T, the gripping mechanism comprising: a sandwiching section 50 for holding the cuvette T in a laterally sandwiching manner; a pressing section 60 for pressing downward an upper end surface of the cuvette T held in a sandwiching manner by the sandwiching section 50, wherein the pressing section 60 is arranged such that, with the cuvette T being held in a sandwiching manner by the sandwiching section 50, a central axis of the cuvette T along a vertical direction coincides mutually with a central axis of the pressing section 60 in the vertical direction.
摘要:
Disclosed is novel means for favorably maintaining the dispersed state of a latex reagent in an immunoassay kit and preventing occurrence of coagulation/sedimentation due to temperature changes so that the reagent is protected from deterioration in the measurement performance, which means is also applicable to an immunoagglutination assay kit containing a latex reagent aliquoted in small amounts. The immunoassay reagent of the present invention comprises unsensitized latex particles and trimethylglycine in a solvent. The concentration of trimethylglycine in the reagent is preferably 5 to 10 w/v %. The reagent can be favorably used as an immunoassay reagent for, e.g., hemoglobin A1c.
摘要:
Disclosed are a PIVKA-II measurement method that achieves better serum-plasma correlation than conventional methods, and a reagent and a kit therefor. The PIVKA-II measurement method according to the present invention comprises measuring PIVKA-II in a sample by an immunoassay using a mixture of an anti-F1 antibody that specifically binds to prothrombin fragment F1 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and an anti-F2 antibody that specifically binds to prothrombin fragment F2 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof; and an anti-PIVKA-II antibody that specifically binds to PIVKA-II or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.

Disclosed are a culture medium, an additive, and a method for efficiently inducing the differentiation of mammalian somatic stem cells into cells having the characteristics of adipocytes under conditions of serum-free or low-serum culture medium. The culture medium for inducing the differentiation of mammalian somatic stem cells into adipocytes comprises a basal medium for culturing mammalian cells, an agent for inducing the differentiation of mammalian somatic stem cells into adipocytes, biotin, a ligand for endothelial cell differentiation gene (Edg) family receptors, vitamin C, and HEPES, which culture medium is serum-free or contains a low concentration of serum.
