Method for analysis of hepatitis B virus s antigen

摘要

An object of the present invention is to enable to accurately quantify HBs antigen in the samples for which measured values are low or false-negative results by the conventional assaying method of HBs antigen. In the method of assaying HBs antigen according to the present invention, at least one inner capture probe that binds to a first inner region peptide consisting of 26th to 80th amino acid residues of HBs antigen and at least one outer capture probe that binds to a second outer region peptide consisting of 98th to 156th amino acid residues of HBs antigen are used as capture probes; and at least one inner detection probe which binds to the first inner region and at least one outer detection probe which binds to the second outer region are used as detection probes.

1. A method for assaying hepatitis B virus surface (HBs) antigen of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, comprising the following steps:
contacting at least one inner capture antibody or a fragment comprising an antigen binding region thereof which binds to a first inner region peptide of HBs antigen and at least one outer capture antibody or a fragment comprising an antigen binding region thereof which binds to a second outer region peptide of HBs antigen with a test sample, and at least one inner detection antibody or a fragment comprising an antigen binding region thereof which binds to said first inner region and at least one outer detection antibody or a fragment comprising an antigen binding region thereof which binds to said second outer region, and detecting signals of the detection antibodies, wherein the presence of detection signals indicate the presence of HBs antigen in the test sample, wherein said antibodies or fragments comprising an antigen binding region thereof are monoclonal antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof, and wherein said inner capture monoclonal antibody is selected from the group consisting of FERM BP-10117 antibody, FERM BP-10702 antibody, FERM BP-10700 antibody and FERM BP-10698 antibody; said inner detection monoclonal antibody is selected from the group consisting of FERM BP-10117 antibody, FERM BP-10702 antibody, FERM BP-10700 antibody and FERM BP-10698 antibody; said outer capture monoclonal antibody is selected from the group consisting of FERM BP-10699 antibody, FERM BP-10703 antibody, FERM BP-10701 antibody and FERM BP-10697 antibody; said outer detection monoclonal antibody is selected from the group consisting of FERM BP-10699 antibody, FERM BP-10703 antibody, FERM BP-10701 antibody and FERM BP-10697 antibody; said inner capture monoclonal antibody and said inner detection monoclonal antibody are different antibodies; and said outer capture monoclonal antibody and said outer detection monoclonal antibody are different antibodies.
