Summary for Patent: 4,308,026
Title: Agglutination inhibition immunoassay for hapten using two differently sensitized particles
Abstract:An immunochemical process and the reagents for measuring hapten by using an agglutination inhibition reaction, anti-hapten antibody sensitized particles and a hapten-carrier conjugate which is capable of agglutinating said particles.
Inventor(s): Mochida; Ei (Tokyo, JP), Ogawa; Nobuhisa (Omiya, JP), Shinkai; Hiroyuki (Kawagoe, JP), Kudo; Takashi (Tokyo, JP)
Assignee: Mochida Seiyaku Kabushiki Kaisha (Tokyo, JP)
Application Number:06/059,338
Patent Claims:1. An agglutination inhibition immunoassay for measuring the presence or level of a hapten in a sample comprising

(a) mixing with said sample a quantity of antibody-sensitized particles, said antibody being reactive with the hapten under assay,

(b) mixing with the mixture resulting from step (a) a quantity of antigen-sensitized particles, said antigen being reactive with said antibody; and

(c) correlating the agglutination or lack thereof with the presence or level of said hapten in said sample.

2. The immunoassay of claim 1 wherein said antigen is a hapten-carrier conjugate.

3. The immunoassay of claim 1 wherein said particles are selected from the group consisting of blood cells, high molecular weight latex, kaolinite, bentonite and active charcoal.

4. The immunoassay of claim 2 in which the carrier of the hapten-carrier conjugate is selected from the group consisting of bovine serum albumin, human serum albumin, bovine gamma-globulin, tetanus toxoid, glutamic acid-lysine-tyrosine copolymer and pneumococcal polysaccharide.
