2. Description of the Related Art As a method for detecting a target antigen, an immunochromatography method is generally used. In the immunochromatography method, one end of a chromatographic substrate in which two kinds of antibodies that bind to a target antigen, that is, a labeled antibody and a fixed antibody are incorporated, is immersed in a solution in which the target antigen is dissolved to perform chromatographic development. The labeled antibody used here is usually a substance to which gold colloid (red) or colored latex (various colors are used, but blue is generally used) is added to a chromatographic substrate in a form that can be dissolved in a developing solution. It is retained, and the immobilized antibody is an epitope different from that of the labeled antibody and has a property of binding to the target antigen, and is immobilized on the chromatographic base material behind the position where the labeled antibody is retained. In this case, usually only one set of antibody pairs is used for one antigen of interest.

In this conventional immunochromatography method, the presence or absence of the target antigen, ie, the object to be detected, is determined by the presence or absence of coloration at the detection portion, and the amount is evaluated by visually determining the color depth of the color. Was. Such visual judgment is simple and quick, and is of sufficient value. However, in the visual determination, the accuracy is naturally extremely low, and it is difficult to determine that the color density of the same color tone does not have a color sample or the like, and the comparison itself with the color sample requires skill. When it is desired to grasp the amount of an object to be detected as quantitatively as possible, such as indoor allergen test as a measure against asthma, etc., the above-described detection method cannot sufficiently cope. Especially in the case of indoor allergens, for example, when testing the amount of mites in the futon, urgent measures such as collecting mites with a vacuum cleaner etc. are required according to the test results, and a more quantitative detection method is required.

The immunoassay of the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of unit immunoassays arranged and assembled in parallel as described above have different detection sensitivities. That is,

.., N), and each detection sensitivity s i
(I = 1, 2,..., N) is s 1 > s 2 > s 3 >

When the amount of antigen is small, only the unit immunoassay A 1 having the highest sensitivity can detect the presence of the antigen, and only A 1 is displayed in color at a concentration corresponding to the detected amount of antigen. Detection of A 1 when the amount of antigen that exceeds the limit of sensitivity A 1 is present the color is saturated in the highest concentration, or the A 1 be reached more antigen keep the same color density or the prozone phenomenon is only sensitivity is lowered, only a 1 will not be able anymore representing the difference in concentration. However since the built-in low unit immunoassay element A 2 detection sensitivity than simultaneously to the test body, this time when the antigen concentration increases will be displayed color towards the A 2. Further, as the amount of the antigen increases, a color display appears on the detection section of the unit immunoassay with lower sensitivity. By simultaneously performing an immunochromatographic test using a plurality of unit immunoassays having different detection sensitivities as described above, the range of the amount of the present antigen can be easily grasped.

[0009] Unit immunoassays having different detection sensitivities can be prepared as follows. One method uses the same combination of antibody pairs in each unit immunoassay, but by varying the amount of fixed antibody for each unit immunoassay. In the immunochromatography method, the larger the amount of the antigen-labeled antibody complex captured by the immobilized antibody in the test zone, the higher the color density in the test zone. Therefore, in the case where the antigen concentration of the specimen is almost the same, if the amount of the immobilized antibody is small, the coloration is low and the sensitivity is low. When the amount of the immobilized antibody is large, the color is strong. Therefore, when the amount of the immobilized antibody is increased, the color can be visually recognized even when the antigen concentration in the sample is low.

Another method is to use the same combination of antibody pairs in each unit immunoassay, but to use different chromatographic substrates for each. Even if the analyte antigen is carried at the same concentration with the developing solution,
In a unit immunoassay with a fast developing speed, the amount of antigen that passes downstream without binding to the labeled antibody increases. Accordingly, the number of antigens to be detected by the immobilized antibody in the detection section is reduced. That is, the detection sensitivity of a unit immunoassay having a high developing speed is reduced. Therefore, when the amount of antigen is small, that is, when the antigen concentration in the developing solution is low, the presence of the antigen is indicated in the unit immunoassay with a low developing speed, but the antigen is still detected in the unit immunoassay with a higher developing speed. Not done. As the antigen concentration becomes higher, even in a unit immunoassay having a higher developing speed, the absolute amount of the labeled antibody-added antigen reaching the fixed antibody increases, so that the presence of the antigen is displayed. Therefore, if a display appears on a unit immunoassay with a higher developing speed, it indicates that an antigen corresponding to the concentration range of the unit immunoassay exists.

[0011] The detection of the antigen in the unit immunoassay of each sensitivity is not necessarily distinguished because the lanes are different in each unit immunoassay, but it is not always necessary to distinguish between them. It is preferable to use a different display method for each of the different unit immunoassays. One display method is to change the color of a label attached to an antibody for each unit immunoassay having a different sensitivity, that is, for each chromatane. For example, when three types of unit immunoassays having different sensitivities are used, a method using blue, yellow, and red marker colors is used. This is related to the allowable amount of antigen concentration, and the concentration that can tolerate blue,
The sensitivity level can be set using red as the alert density.
FIG. 2 shows an example of such an immunological test object. Another display method is a method of changing the shape of the display window of the detection unit. For example, the display window of a highly sensitive unit immunoassay is circular,
In this method, the display window of the medium-sensitivity unit immunoassay is triangular, and the display window of the low-sensitivity unit immunoassay is crossed (x). In this case, the density that can be displayed in a circular display can be set in association with the allowable density, and the density that can be displayed in a cross can be set in association with the alert density. FIG. 3 shows an example of such an immunological test object.

In connection with the above display method, the concentration range when a display appears on the unit immunoassay of each sensitivity may be described in each unit immunoassay, or the concentration range may be displayed.
