A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11988666B2) discloses a lectin-binding substance measurement method for accurately measuring lectin-binding substances in a sample. The method involves a measuring step where a blocked labeled lectin and a labeled lectin are brought into contact with the sample. The blocked labeled lectin consists of a high molecular weight blocked labeled lectin and a low molecular weight blocked labeled lectin, each immobilized on water-soluble carriers made of specific polymers. The labeled lectin, excluding any carrier, comprises a labeling substance and a lectin. The method allows for the use of the same or different classes of polymers, labeling substances, and lectins, providing flexibility in the measurement process.

Furthermore, the patent includes details about a lectin-binding substance measurement kit designed for implementing the method. The kit comprises the blocked labeled lectin and the labeled lectin as described in the patent claims. Additionally, the kit may include a free water-soluble polymer to enhance the measurement process. The high molecular weight and low molecular weight water-soluble polymers used in the kit can belong to the same class, ensuring compatibility and efficiency. The labeling substances and lectins in the kit can also be the same or different, offering versatility in conducting lectin-binding substance measurements. Overall, the patent introduces a comprehensive method and kit for accurately measuring lectin-binding substances in samples, with a focus on polymer composition, labeling substances, and lectin types to optimize the measurement process.
