The present invention provides a method for assaying hyaluronic acid more precisely and more simply than the conventional method, and relates to (1) an assay method for hyaluronic acid comprising contacting a reagent containing hyaluronic acid binding protein modified with a labeled substance with a sample containing hyaluronic acid to form a complex of the hyaluronic acid and the labeled hyaluronic acid binding protein, separating the complex and the free labeled hyaluronic acid binding protein, and measuring the labeled substance in the complex or the labeled substance in the free labeled hyaluronic acid binding protein, and (2) a reagent for an assay of hyaluronic acid comprising a labeled hyaluronic acid binding protein, which is prepared by binding a labeled substance and a hyaluronic acid binding protein through an antibody to the hyaluronic acid binding protein.
An assay method for hyaluronic acid comprising contacting a reagent containing hyaluronic acid binding protein modified with a labeled substance (a labeled hyaluronic acid binding protein) with a sample containing hyaluronic acid to form a complex of the hyaluronic acid and the labeled hyaluronic acid binding protein, separating the complex and the free labeled hyaluronic acid binding protein, and measuring the labeled substance in the complex or the labeled substance in the free labeled hyaluronic acid binding protein.
A reagent for an assay of hyaluronic acid, comprising a labeled hyaluronic acid binding protein, which is prepared by binding a labeled substance and a hyaluronic acid binding protein through an antibody to the hyaluronic acid binding protein.
A kit for an assay of hyaluronic acid, comprising a reagent containing a labeled hyaluronic acid binding protein, which is prepared by binding a labeled substance and a hyaluronic acid binding protein through an antibody to the hyaluronic acid binding protein, and a standard substance.
