Abstract
The present invention relates to an inhibitor capable of increasing accuracy of the reaction in hybridization, and inhibiting nonspecific hybridization, a clinical diagnostic reagent, and a method of clinical analysis whereby nonspecific hybridization in clinical analysis is inhibited, and a target nucleic substance is detected easily with high accuracy. The inhibitor and the clinical diagnostic reagent contains polymer (H) having a nonspecific hybridization inhibitory action. The polymer has in its molecule at least one of carboxyl and sulfone groups, and phosphorylcholine-like groups, and has a weight average molecular weight of 1000 to 5000000. The method of clinical analysis includes contacting a sample with a test agent capable of hybridizing with a specific nucleic substance in the presence of the inhibitor.
