2. Description of the Related Art Acid phosphatase is an enzyme having an acidic pH and hydrolyzing an organic monophosphate.
There are various sources such as prostate-derived acid phosphatase, osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase, erythrocyte-derived acid phosphatase, and platelet-derived acid phosphatase. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase in serum, whose enzyme activity is not inhibited even by the addition of tartaric acid, is predominantly osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase, and its measurement is useful as an index for evaluating the function of osteoclasts. It is of interest as a bone resorption marker (bone metabolism marker, edited by Yoshio Fukunaga, Toshitaka Nakamura, Toshio Matsumoto, Medical Review, 1995).

In general, the measurement of tartaric acid-resistant acid phosphatase in a sample by an enzyme activity measurement method is performed by using a phosphate ester as a synthetic substrate in the presence of tartaric acid to produce a reaction product (alcohol or phenol) produced by an enzymatic reaction. The enzyme activity is determined by colorimetric determination of At that time, tartaric acid inhibits the enzymatic activity of prostate-derived acid phosphatase, which mainly coexists in the sample, and therefore, by measuring the remaining acid phosphatase activity using a substrate, tartaric acid resistance is used as an indicator of osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase activity. Seeking acid phosphatase activity. Further, as a more specific method for improving the method for measuring osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase activity, a pretreatment of incubating a 5-fold dilution of serum at 37 ° C. for 1 hour, followed by the remaining tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase was performed. A method of measuring the activity using p-nitrophenyl phosphate as a substrate in the presence of tartaric acid is known (Nihon University Medical Journal, Vol. 49, 904).

The conventional method for measuring tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity as an index of osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase has problems in terms of specificity, sensitivity, complexity of measurement, and measurement time. Have. In the specimen, red blood cell-derived acid phosphatase and platelet-derived acid phosphatase other than osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase exist as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase. That is, red blood cell-derived acid phosphatase is included in the sample when hemolysis occurs due to collection of the sample, and when serum is used as the sample, platelets are destroyed during the blood coagulation process during serum production and platelet-derived acid phosphatase is generated. Phosphatase is included in the sample. Therefore, the conventional method for measuring tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity cannot be said to specifically measure osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase activity.

Further, the aforementioned Nihon University Medical Journal, Vol.
Even the improvement method described on page 4-911 (1990) cannot eliminate the effects of platelet-derived acid phosphatase. Further, in this improved method, p-nitrophenyl phosphate is used as a substrate, and the reaction product p-nitrophenyl phosphate is used.
Nitrophenol does not develop color in the acidic range, which is the optimum pH for the acid phosphatase reaction, so it is necessary to stop the reaction by adding an alkali to develop color. Therefore, this improved method cannot be applied to the measurement using an automatic analyzer, which is the mainstream of modern clinical tests, because a rate assay is impossible. Further, in this improved method, since the sensitivity is not sufficient, the reaction time of the enzymatic reaction requires a long time of 30 minutes. on the other hand,
The method for measuring tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase by an immunoassay is more excellent in specificity because a monoclonal antibody is used. However, the operation is complicated, and the antigen-antibody reaction requires a longer time than the enzyme reaction, so that the measurement requires time. Reagents for measurement are also expensive and have a problem in cost. In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a simple and specific method for measuring osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase and a kit used for the method.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The specimens targeted in the present invention are typically human blood, serum, plasma and the like. In the presence of tartaric acid in Measurement 1 in the measurement method of the present invention, the activity of prostate-derived acid phosphatase in the sample is inhibited,
The osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase, the erythrocyte-derived acid phosphatase and the platelet-derived acid phosphatase are not inhibited, and thus it is considered that the sum of the three non-inhibited acid phosphatase activities is the measurement value in the main measurement 1. In measurement 2, since there is also an osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase inhibitor that does not inhibit erythrocyte and platelet-derived acid phosphatase in addition to tartaric acid, in addition to prostate-derived acid phosphatase, osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase is also inhibited. It is considered that the acid phosphatase derived from platelets and the acid phosphatase derived from platelets are not inhibited, and thus the sum of the activities of the two non-inhibited acid phosphatases is the main measurement in measurement 2. Therefore, it is considered that the osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase activity can be accurately determined by subtracting the measurement value of measurement 2 from the measurement value of measurement 1.

The substrate concentration during the reaction depends on the affinity of each substrate for acid phosphatase, but is preferably 5 to 10 times the Km for acid phosphatase.

In a rate assay using an automatic analyzer, measurement can be completed in about 10 minutes. In the present invention,
The amount of the reaction solution at the time of the enzyme reaction is preferably 5 times or more, more preferably 8 to 100 times, particularly preferably 10 to 50 times the amount of the sample used. If the volume of the reaction solution during the enzyme reaction does not exceed 5 times the sample volume, it is difficult to accurately measure osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase activity due to the effects of interfering substances in the sample,
If the amount of the reaction solution is too large, the measurement sensitivity may be low, so that osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase activity may not be measured. In addition, at the time of the enzymatic reaction, a surfactant such as Triton X-100, an alcohol, a salt such as sodium chloride, or a protein such as albumin may be contained as necessary. In the case of an enzymatic reaction, an acidic range of pH 4 to 7 is preferable, and pH 5.4 to 6.8 is more preferable. As a buffer substance therefor, citric acid and its salts, acetic acid and its salts, MES, Bis-Tris and the like may be used.

As is clear from the results in Table 1, erythrocytes,
The measured platelet activity did not change even when sodium fluoride was added. However, in the crudely purified bovine bone solution, the measured activity value obtained by the addition of sodium fluoride decreased, and the plateau became almost plateau at 50 mM. From this result, the sodium fluoride concentration of the reagent (2) was set to 50 mM. The results in Table 1 show that the presence of tartaric acid and sodium fluoride did not inhibit erythrocyte and platelet-derived acid phosphatase, but inhibited osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase. When molybdate, which is known as an osteoclast-derived acid phosphatase inhibitor, was used instead of sodium fluoride, erythrocyte and platelet-derived acid phosphatase were also inhibited.
