The present invention relates to a method for detecting an avian influenza virus by an immunological assay using an anti-influenza virus antibody being unreactive to human influenza type-A virus subtypes H1, H2 and H3 and a human influenza type-B virus and being reactive to plural subtypes of avian influenza viruses, and an immunochromatographic test tool for use in the method. According to the present invention, an avian influenza virus can be detected specifically, rapidly and in a simple manner, as distinguishing an avian influenza virus from a human influenza virus.

Rapid diagnosis method specific to avian influenza virus

A test strip for immunochromatography comprising a sample receiving member, a label holding member, and a chromatography membrane is described. The chromatography membrane has a first detection zone and a second detection zone. The second detection zone is formed by utilizing a blocking material and the second substance. A method for producing above the test strip is also described.

Test strip for immunochromatography

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.
