A living body component in a sample derived from a living body can be rapidly and accurately measured by reacting the sample with a reagent comprising a combined product of an affinity substance and a polypeptide having at least three acid residues derived from a strong acid, separating the resulting complex by a method applying negative change such as using an anion-exchanger, and determining the amount of the analyte to be measured, on the basis of the amount of the complex or free combined product.

Polypeptide and process for measuring living body components using the same

This invention presents novel polymeric anionic molecules and novel negatively charged capture reagents comprising the reaction products of said anionic molecules and a specific binding member for use in separation techniques and assay procedures wherein said activated polymeric anionic molecule comprises a compound having the formula: wherein n is about 10 to about 500; z is about 1 to about 6; W is selected from the group consisting of H , Na , K , Li , amine salts, and derivatives thereof; and X is a reactive group or a structure having a reactive group that enables the chemical binding of said activated polymer to a specific binding member.
