Abstract
A latex agglutination method by which the measurement range is extended and the sensitivity of the measurement in the low concentration range is increased, is disclosed. The method for measuring a test antigen by latex agglutination uses two types of large and small particles, having different average particle sizes. Each latex particle is sensitized with an antibody which undergoes antigen-antibody reaction with the test antigen. The purity of the antibody immobilized on the latex particles is within a specific range. The ratio of the amount of the antibody immobilized per one small latex particle to the amount of the antibody immobilized per one large latex particle; the average particle size of the large latex particles; the average particle size of the small latex particles; the concentration of the large sensitized latex particles in the antigen-antibody reaction system; and the concentration of the small sensitized latex particles in the reaction system are within a specific range. The large sensitized latex particles and the small sensitized latex particles are reacted with the test antigen in the state suspended in a buffer, and then the agglutination of the sensitized latex particles is optically measured.
