CHEMILUMINESCENT REAGENTS AND CHEMILUMINESCENCE ANALYSIS METHODS WITH THE USE OF THE SAME

摘要

The present invention provides a novel chemiluminescent reagent producing chemiluminescence in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, extent of which depends on peroxidase concentration, chemiluminescent analysis method using the same, in particular useful for detection and quantitative analysis of various types of materials by measuring peroxidase enzyme activity or enzyme immunoassay with peroxidase enzyme as the marker. More particularly, the present invention provides a chemiluminescent reagent containing, as the major ingredients, a charge-transferring complex of N,N'-disubstituted-9,9'-bisacridinium salt and N,N-disubstituted carboxylic amide compound; chemiluminescent reagent containing further containing a specific aminoalcohol compound, in addition to the above; and method for measuring peroxidase activity at a high sensitivity in the presence of a peroxide, using the above chemiluminescent reagent. Moreover, the novel chemiluminescent reagent of the present invention can enhance sensitivity of the enzyme immunoassay with peroxidase enzyme as the marker by its chemiluminescent reaction. <IMAGE>
