Nonspecific hydridization inhibitors, clinical examination reagents and clinical examination method

摘要

The present invention relates to an inhibitor capable of increasing accuracy of the reaction in hybridization, and inhibiting nonspecific hybridization, a clinical diagnostic reagent, and a method of clinical analysis whereby nonspecific hybridization in clinical analysis is inhibited, and a target nucleic substance is detected easily with high accuracy. The inhibitor and the clinical diagnostic reagent contains polymer (H) having a nonspecific hybridization inhibitory action. The polymer has in its molecule at least one of carboxyl and sulfone groups, and phosphorylcholine-like groups, and has a weight average molecular weight of 1000 to 5000000. The method of clinical analysis includes contacting a sample with a test agent capable of hybridizing with a specific nucleic substance in the presence of the inhibitor.
