Claims17
A reagent for β-glucan measurement, comprising a horseshoe crab-derived factor D, a horseshoe crab-derived factor G, a horseshoe crab-derived proclotting enzyme, and a substrate for measurement, and
- not comprising a horseshoe crab hemocyte extract.
A method for producing a reagent for β-glucan measurement, comprising:
- artificially producing a horseshoe crab-derived factor D;
- and
- kitting the artificially produced horseshoe crab-derived factor D together with at least a horseshoe crab-derived factor G, a horseshoe crab-derived proclotting enzyme, and a substrate for measurement.
A method for enhancing the activity of a reagent for β-glucan measurement containing a horseshoe crab-derived factor G, a horseshoe crab-derived proclotting enzyme, and a substrate for measurement, comprising
- coexising a horseshoe crab-derived factor D with the reagent for β-glucan measurement.
