Disclosed are a method for measuring ²G comprising the steps of bringing a sample into contact with a ²G-binding protein 1 and a ²G-binding protein 2, each comprising an amino acid sequence which is identical or substantially identical to an amino acid sequence shown in any one of SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:6, SEQ ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:14, SEQ ID NO:16, SEQ ID NO:18, or SEQ ID N0:20, and having the ²-glucan binding activity, to form a complex of the ²G-binding protein 1, ²G in the sample and the ²G-binding protein 2, measuring quantity of the complex, and determining ²G concentration in the sample based on the quantity of the complex; a reagent and a kit for use in said method; a novel ²G-binding protein; a nucleic acid molecule encoding the ²G-binding protein; and a method for producing the aforementioned ²G-binding protein. |
