ANTIGEN DETECTION METHOD WHICH USES LECTIN AND COMPRISES ENZYME TREATMENT STEP

摘要

An antigen detection method detects an antigen having a specific sugar chain in a sample with a lectin that binds to plural kinds of sugar chains including the specific sugar chain. The detection method includes: a first step of bringing the lectin into contact with the sample; a second step of bringing a glycohydrolase capable of cleaving at least one kind of sugar chain to which the lectin can bind into contact with the sample, the at least one kind of sugar chain excluding the specific sugar chain among the plural kinds of sugar chains; and a step of detecting the antigen bound with the lectin after the first and second steps.

1. A method of detecting an antigen having a specific sugar chain in a sample with a lectin that binds to plural kinds of sugar chains including said specific sugar chain, said method comprising:
a first step of bringing said lectin into contact with said sample; a second step of bringing a glycohydrolase capable of cleaving at least one kind of sugar chain to which said lectin can bind into contact with said sample, said at least one kind of sugar chain excluding said specific sugar chain among said plural kinds of sugar chains; and a step of detecting said antigen bound with said lectin after said first and second steps.
