Abstract
Abstract An immunochemical measuring method using a second antigenic substance and a labeled antibody to the second antigenic substance. An unknown amount of an antigen (Ag 1) to be measured and a given amount of a conjugate (Ag 1-Ag 2) coupled a second antigen (Ag 2) to the Ag 1 are reacted with a given amount of an antibody (Ab 1) to the Ag 1. Ag 1-Ag 2 bind to the Ab 1 in proportion to their respective amount, forming an Ab 1-Ag 1-Ag 2 complex. Then, by reaction of the complex with a labeled antibody (labeled Ab 2) to the Ag 2, Ab 1-Ag 1-Ag 2-labeled Ab 2 is formed. It is possible to estimate the amount of Ag 1 to be measured by determining the activity of labeled Ab 2 attached to the complex.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
An immunochemical measuring method comprising the steps of (a) reacting an antibody to an antigen to be measured (Ab 1) with an antigen to be measured (Ag 1) and a conjugate coupled with said antigen to be measured to a second antigen having strong antigenicity (Ag 1-Ag 2), (b) separating the Ab 1-Ag 2 complex produced by the above reaction from the reaction mixture, (c) reacting the separated Ab 1-Ag 1-Ag 2 complex with a labeled antibody to the second antigen (Ab 2), (d) separating the reaction products of Ab 1-Ag 1-Ag 2-labeled Ab 2 complex produced by the above reaction from the reaction mixture, and (e) measuring either the activity of a labeling agent bound to the above reaction products or of a labeling agent remaining in the reaction mixture.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
An immunochemical measuring method comprising the steps of (a) reacting an antibody to an antigen to be measured (Ab 1) with an antigen to be measured (Ag 1) and a conjugate coupled with said antigen to be measured to a second antigen having strong antigenicity (Ag 1-Ag 2), (b) separating the Ab 1-Ag 2 complex produced by the above reaction from the reaction mixture, (c) reacting the separated Ab 1-Ag 1-Ag 2 complex with a labeled antibody to the second antigen (Ab 2), (d) separating the reaction products of Ab 1-Ag 1-Ag 2-labeled Ab 2 complex produced by the above reaction from the reaction mixture, and (e) measuring either the activity of a labeling agent bound to the above reaction products or of a labeling agent remaining in the reaction mixture.
