REAGENT FOR ASSAYING ANTI-TREPONEMA PALLIDUM ANTIBODY AND METHOD OF ASSAYING ANTI-TREPONEMA PALLIDUM ANTIBODY

摘要

It is intended to provide a reagent for assaying anti-Treponema pallidum antibody by which anti-Treponema pallidum antibody can be highly sensitively and specifically assayed and an assay method using the same. Namely, a reagent to be employed in assaying anti-Treponema pallidum antibody with the use of an antigen-antibody reaction that is a reagent for assaying anti-Treponema pallidum antibody containing a 15K antigen comprising a protein having beta-galactosidase fused with a surface antigen (molecular weight: 15 kDa) of Treponema pallidum and/or a 17K antigen comprising a protein having beta-galactosidase fused with a surface antigen (molecular weight: 17 kDa) of Treponema pallidum.
