The present invention relates to a method for detecting a target substance that is useful for detection of a glycoprotein and the like comprising a specific sugar chain, a reagent for detecting a target substance, a carrier and a method for manufacturing the carrier.

Reagent for detecting target substance containing sugar chain, detection method, carrier used in detection of target substance containing sugar chain, and method for manufacturing said carrier

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for measuring a glycan-marker glycoprotein, by which liver disease can be detected with higher accuracy than is possible with conventional methods. Also, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for examining liver disease, by which liver disease can be detected with higher accuracy than is possible with conventional methods. Disclosed is a method for measuring at least one glycoprotein selected from alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and Mac-2-binding protein (M2BP) contained in a sample collected from a subject, comprising: measuring AGP binding to a first lectin selected from AOL and MAL, when the glycoprotein is AGP; and measuring M2BP binding to a second lectin selected from WFA, BPL, AAL, RCA120, and TJAII, when the glycoprotein is M2BP.

Method for measuring glycoprotein, method for examining liver disease, reagent for quantitative determination of glycoprotein, and glycan-marker glycoprotein as an index for clinical conditions of liver disease

A method for the early detection of disease through the use of reagents bound by IgM antibodies is described. A reagent and method for the detection of anti-Borna disease virus antibodies are also described.

Method for detecting Borna disease virus infection

An chromatography kit is described, a representative one of which includes: an examination container one end of which has an inlet for receiving a sample, and an chromatography examination strip used by inserting from the inlet into the examination container wherein the examination container comprises a prevention part for preventing from the adherence of the examination strip on the inner wall of the examination container.

Chromatography kit, examination container, and method for manufacturing the same

An immunochromatographic test device of the present invention comprises: a sample receiving member for receiving a sample; a label holding member for holding a labeling substance to bind to an analyte contained in the sample; and a chromatographic membrane having a detection zone at which an immobilization substance to bind to the analyte is immobilized, wherein the sample receiving member disposed to cover the label holding member and in contact with the chromatographic membrane, and the chromatographic membrane is spaced apart from the label holding member.

Immunochromatographic test device

A test kit for immunochromatography comprising a test strip and a test tube is described. The test strip comprises a detection zone for detecting an analyte in a sample. The test tube accommodates the test strip. The test tube comprises an indicator at a position corresponding to the detection zone of the test strip which is inserted into the test tube.
