る。抱合型ビリルビンと非抱合型ビリルビンを合わせた
ものを総ビリルビンと呼んでいる。[Prior art] Bilirubin is the most abundant pigment in bile, and is mainly produced from hemoglobin produced by the breakdown of old red blood cells.In serum, it is mainly produced as conjugated bilirubin (direct lupine) bound to glucuronic acid or albumin. It exists as unconjugated bilirubin (indirect bilirubin) bound to The sum of conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin is called total bilirubin.

知ることが可能であるため、ビリルビンの定量は臨床的
に極めて重要である。Quantification of bilirubin is clinically extremely important because it is possible to differentially diagnose liver dysfunction and determine the degree of liver dysfunction from the amount of conjugated bilirubin and unconjugated bilirubin present in serum.

め正確性に欠けるなど問題がある。Conventionally, the method for quantifying bilirubin is to colorimetrically quantify azobilirubin, which is produced by the reaction of bilirubin and a diazo reagent (Izumi Kanai: Clinical Test Method Required Metals Publishing Page X
Chemical measurement methods such as ll-24 (1978) are mainly used. However, these methods have problems such as a lack of accuracy because the diazo reagent reacts with biological components other than bilirubin present in the specimen.

薬の価格が高く、また長い反応時間(15〜30分間程

問題があった。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The method for quantifying bilirubin using such an enzyme is superior to the method using the diazo reagent in terms of accuracy and analytical precision, but it requires the use of a large amount of enzyme. Since the reagents are required, they are expensive, and the long reaction time (approximately 15 to 30 minutes) is required, making it difficult to automate the measurement.

までには至っていなかった(10分程度の反応時間が必
要)。On the other hand, methods for improving the quantitative method using the enzymatic reaction described above are also being studied. For example, the enzymatic reactivity of bilirubin is improved by using reaction accelerators such as sodium cholate and sulfa drugs together with bilirubin oxidase (Japanese Patent Publication No. 62 -33880, etc.). However, the effect of promoting the reaction by these is insufficient, and although it is possible to shorten the reaction time to some extent, it has not reached the point where it can be adapted to automation (reaction time of about 10 minutes is required).

This is based on the fact that bilirubin undergoes oxidation and changes to biliverdin through an enzymatic reaction, which changes its light absorption properties.
−i的にビリルビンオキシダーゼの至適pHは6〜7、
至適温度は40℃付近であるが、本発明の促進剤を用い

定に保つことが必要である。このため、一般に酵素反応
によりビリルビンを定量する場合は、緩衝液を用いる。-i-wise, the optimum pH of bilirubin oxidase is 6 to 7,
Although the optimum temperature is around 40°C, by using the accelerator of the present invention, a remarkable reaction accelerating effect can be obtained at pH 5 to 11. On the other hand, since the light absorption characteristics of bilirubin in the sample change depending on the pH, it is necessary to keep the pH of the reaction solution constant during measurement. For this reason, a buffer solution is generally used when bilirubin is quantified by enzymatic reaction.
本発明で用いることのできる緩衝液としてはpHが5〜
11程度のものであればいずれでもよく、例えばトリス
−塩酸緩衝液、リン酸緩衝液等を用いることができる。Buffers that can be used in the present invention have a pH of 5 to 5.
Any buffer having a concentration of about 11 may be used, and for example, Tris-HCl buffer, phosphate buffer, etc. can be used.
すなわち、総ビリルビンを定量するには、直接型及び間
接型ビリルビンの両者を定量しなければならないが、間
接型ビリルビンは低いpH領域(例えばpH4以下)で
はほとんど酵素反応を受けなくなるため、反応液のpH
は5〜11、好ましくは7〜10程度に設定しておくと
よい。In other words, to quantify total bilirubin, it is necessary to quantify both direct and indirect bilirubin, but indirect bilirubin hardly undergoes enzymatic reaction in a low pH range (for example, pH 4 or less), so pH
is preferably set to about 5 to 11, preferably about 7 to 10.
本発明において、検体中のビリルビン量を定量するのに

促進剤(i i i)ビリルビンオキシダーゼの3つで
構成される。In the present invention, the reagent used to quantify the amount of bilirubin in a specimen is basically composed of three components: (i) a buffer, (ii) an enzyme reaction promoter, and (ii) bilirubin oxidase.

Therefore, the two reagents need to be separated before being added to the sample.
本発明において上記試薬を用いる態様としては次に示す

p!16〜9程度の範囲とするとよい。Particularly, when bilirubin is to be quantified using an automatic analyzer, the two-reagent system (1) is preferable and can speed up the measurement. Here, the p required for the enzymatic reaction is
Since the H region is 5 to 11 for total bilirubin, the buffering effect of the buffer must be maintained in the reaction solution (ie, all necessary reagents added to the sample). For this reason, if an enzyme reaction promoter or bilirubin oxidase is added separately from the buffer solution and they are present in large amounts as a solution, it will not be possible to maintain a predetermined pH range. It is recommended to dissolve it in an appropriate buffer and add it. In any case, the enzyme reaction promoter needs to be dissolved in the reaction system, and is appropriately selected and used depending on the p)I band of the reaction solution. In addition, bilirubin oxidase may be in an aqueous solution, and if a buffer solution is used, p! It is preferable to set it in the range of about 16 to 9.

程度が実用的である。The final concentration of each of the above is the concentration in the reaction solution,
The concentration in the reagent solution and the amount of the reagent solution are not particularly limited. Since bilirubin oxidase is dissolved in a considerable amount in an aqueous solution (for example, 100 U/ml or more), there is no restriction from solubility, and in this sense, the proportion of each reagent solution is adjusted to the desired pH.
Once the range is reached, it can be set according to the operational convenience of measurement. When using an automatic analyzer, the two-reagent system described in (1) above is used, and the ratio of the enzyme reaction promoter-containing buffer to the bilirubin oxidase solution is usually 5:1 to 1=1.
The degree is practical.

〜2分間程度で正確な定量が可能となる。In the case of the two-reagent system described in (1) above, the specific operation of the above measurement method is to add a predetermined amount of an enzyme reaction promoter-containing buffer to a bilirubin-containing aqueous sample, and after prewarming (for example, 37°C,
3 minutes), add a predetermined amount of bilirubin oxidase solution, and maintain the pH of the reaction solution in the range of 5 to 11 to oxidize bilirubin present in the sample by enzymatic reaction. At this time, by colorimetrically quantifying the decrease in bilirubin in the reaction solution, the amount of bilirubin in the sample can be measured as a result. According to the method of the present invention, after charging bilirubin oxidase, 1
Accurate quantification is possible in about 2 minutes.

する場合には通常、上記範囲内の程度でよい。In order to apply the bilirubin quantitative reagent of the present invention to an automatic analyzer or the like, it is practically very convenient to handle it as a kit. That is, a buffer solution in which at least one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of phenols and anilines represented by the general formulas (I) and (II) is dissolved is used as the first reagent and a bilirubin oxidase solution. The operation can be simplified by using a kit for quantifying bilirubin in which the second reagent is . In addition, since bilirubin oxidase has relatively low stability, it is not preferable to store it in a solution state, and it is preferable to prepare it immediately before measurement. The solution in this case may be a buffer solution or an aqueous solution having a pH of about 6 to 9, as described above. Further, each component is adjusted so that its final concentration is within the range described above, and the pH of the buffer solution is adjusted within a predetermined range. For example, sample 10-100μ
t, the amount of phenols as the first reagent is 0.2 to 1
00 mM or/and anilines from 0.002 to 100
2 ml of pH 5-11 buffer containing mM (may also contain sodium cholate etc.), 0.3-6 U/ml of bilirubin oxidase as a second reagent.
It is preferable to use about 0.3 ml to 2 ml of the aqueous solution containing the liquid. The amount of bilirubin oxidase may be adjusted depending on the amount of bilirubin present in the sample, but when a sample such as serum is used, it is usually within the above range.
