Adenovirus immunoassay method and adenovirus immunoassay instrument

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide: a monoclonal antibody that makes it possible that adenovirus contained in a test specimen is detected and measured rapidly, simply, and with high-sensitivity; and an immunoassay for adenovirus and an immunoassay device therefor, for both of which the monoclonal antibody is used. The present invention provides: a monoclonal antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, including heavy chains CDR1 to CDR3 as shown in the following (a) to (c) and a light chain CDR1 as shown in the following (d); and an immunoassay and an immunoassay device, for both of which the monoclonal antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof is used; (a) a heavy chain CDR1 composed of an amino acid sequence containing NY; (b) a heavy chain CDR2 composed of an amino acid sequence containing SN; (c) a heavy chain CDR3 composed of an amino acid sequence containing SYY and DY; and (d) a light chain CDR1 composed of an amino acid sequence containing NG.
