For diagnosing periodontal disease using the antigen preparation of the present invention, samples such as saliva, blood, and gingival crevicular fluid collected from a patient and known methods such as radioimmunoassay and enzyme immunoassay are used. The antigen-antibody reaction is carried out with and the presence or absence of specific antibody in the sample is determined. At this time, the sample may be added directly to the antigen preparation as it is containing the preservation solution, or may be added to the antigen preparation after removing the preservation solution and replacing it with another suitable solvent. Good. The sample may be subjected to processing such as centrifugation and extraction, or may be diluted appropriately. For example, when using the enzyme immunoassay, a predetermined amount of the sample or a dilution thereof is directly added to the antigen preparation of the present invention or the preservation solution is removed,
Add after replacing with another solvent, for example, 20 to 40 ° C.
And react for 1 to 18 hours. After completion of the reaction, the plate is washed, and an enzyme-labeled anti-antibody (for example, an anti-human antibody labeled with alkaline phosphatase, peroxidase, etc.) is added,
React at -40 ° C for 1-18 hours. Then, it is washed again, a substrate for the enzyme (for example, p-nitrophenyl phosphate, o-phenylenediamine, etc.) is added, color reaction is carried out at the same temperature for 30 to 90 minutes, and the absorbance is measured. The amount of specific antibody in the sample can be calculated from the standard curve obtained by carrying out the same operation for the standard antibody, and thus the periodontal disease can be diagnosed.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION (1) Storage test It is possible to change the amount of sodium carboxymethylcellulose / sodium in the antigen preparations and the storage solutions thereof obtained in Examples 4 and 6, or to stabilize the antigen instead of carboxymethylcellulose / sodium. The antigen preparations obtained with the substances considered to have been stored at 40 ° C. for 1 month and 3 months, respectively. 405 nm was obtained by an enzyme immunoassay using an alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-human antibody and p-nitrophenyl phosphate, using a serum showing a sufficient titer for the antigen prepared in Example 4 or 6 as a standard antibody.
The antibody titer was calculated by measuring the absorbance of the, and the residual rate (%) of the antigen activity was calculated from the antibody titer before storage by the following formula.
