Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for detecting a marker for pancreatic disease for obtaining highly reliable results while reducing the risk of complications. It also relates to a method for a detecting a marker for pancreatic disease comprising: measuring the concentration of a marker for pancreatic disease in duodenal juice that is collected from a subject and contains spontaneously discharged pancreatic juice, by a measurement method including detecting antigen or antibody immobilized on a solid phase using an antigen-antibody reaction, and the aforementioned method for detecting a marker for pancreatic disease further including judging the subject to have the possibility of being afflicted with a pancreatic disease in the case the concentration of the marker for pancreatic disease is equal to or greater than a prescribed threshold value.
Abstract:
A pancreatic disease is tested for with high sensitivity even with simple equipment and a simple procedure. Provided is a method of detecting pancreatic disease including detecting a concentration of S100P in at least one of a pancreatic juice and a body fluid containing pancreatic juice collected from a test subject by immunochromatography. Additionally provided is a pancreas testing kit including an immunochromatography device that holds an anti-S100P antibody and a collection vessel that retains a protease inhibitor that inhibits an activity of a protease contained in the pancreatic juice.
Abstract:
This method for inhibiting protease in a biological sample containing pancreatic juice components inhibits protease enzyme activity in the biological sample by adding at least one type of protease inhibitor having a sulfonyl fluoride group to the biological sample containing pancreatic juice components. In addition, this protease inhibitor for a biological sample containing pancreatic juice components is a compound having a sulfonyl fluoride group, has protease inhibitory activity, and is added to a biological sample containing pancreatic juice components in order to inhibit protease present in the biological sample. Moreover, this kit for preserving a biological sample containing pancreatic juice components contains at least one type of protease inhibitory having a sulfonyl fluoride group, and is used to store a biological sample containing pancreatic juice components.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for preserving biological components in pancreatic juice, and a kit suited for this method. The method involves adding, to a pancreatic juice-containing biological sample, at least one sulfonyl fluoride-containing protease inhibitor and at least one trypsin-like serine protease inhibitor belonging to a group of amino acid chloromethyl ketones.
