<p>An antibody useful in the immunoassay on the basis of the agglutination of human serum amyloid A (SAA) which serves as a marker of inflammation, etc., and the use of this antibody. The antibody is a novel one which recognizes SAA and also has the activity of binding to SAA contained in the gel filtration fractions of molecular weights of 10 to 40 kD. Also, a reagent and method for the immunoassay of SAA and a method for purifying SAA by using this antibody are provided. This novel antibody having an excellent binding activity enables the assay of SAA based on the immunological agglutination thereof. This antibody is excellent in the titer against SAA and contributes not only to the specific assay of SAA at a high sensitivity but also to the widening of the assay scope.</p> |
