METHOD FOR ASSAYING AGALACTO-IgG AND ASSAY KITS, POLYPEPTIDES OF LECTINS, AND DNAS ENCODING THE SAME

摘要

A method for assaying an agalacto-IgG in specimens which involves the step of reacting the specimen with a lectin adherent onto a solid phase and forming a complex of the agalacto-IgG with the lectin adherent onto the solid phase; a method for detecting rheumatism with the use of this assay method; kits for detecting the agalacto-IgG and kits for diagnosing rheumatism; and polypeptides of lectins usable in these methods and DNAs encoding the same.
