Anti-glycated hemoglobin monoclonal antibody and method for measuring glycated hemoglobin

Abstract

A method for measuring glycated hemoglobin is disclosed, which comprises contacting a sample with an anti-hemoglobin antibody being bound to a solid phase, adding thereto an anti-glycated hemoglobin antibody, and then measuring the anti-glycated hemoglobin antibody bound to the solid phase via glycated hemoglobin and the anti-hemoglobin antibody. A method for measuring glycated hemoglobin is further disclosed, which comprises mixing a sample with particles on which an anti-glycated hemoglobin antibody is bound to cause immunoagglutination reaction. A method for measuring glycated hemoglobin is furthermore disclosed, which comprises mixing a sample with a solution containing a monoclonal antibody specific for glycated hemoglobin, and then measuring the change in the turbidity of the resulting mixture. A method is disclosed for measuring glycated hemoglobin which comprises mixing a sample with unsensitized latex particles and an anti-glycated hemoglobin antibody, to cause immunoagglutination reaction. There is disclosed a method for measuring glycated hemoglobin which comprises mixing a sample with unsensitized latex particles and particles on which an anti-glycated hemoglobin antibody is bound, to cause immunoagglutination reaction. Still furthermore, an anti-glycated hemoglobin monoclonal antibody having a high specificity for human glycated hemoglobin is disclosed.
