An object of the present invention is to provide an immunoassay of PSA
using an agglutination accelerator, which has an agglutination
accelerating effect equal to or stronger than the known agglutination
accelerator; hardly generates non-specific turbidity; and hardly
generates salting out even in a solution with a high salt concentration.
The present invention relates to an immunoassay of a prostate-specific
antigen comprising performing an antigen-antibody reaction in the
presence of a polymer having a monomer unit derived from a monomer
represented by the following general formula [2]: ##STR00001## (wherein
R.sup.1-R.sup.3 are each independently a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group
optionally having a hydroxyl group; R.sup.4 is an alkylene group; R.sup.5
is an alkylene group optionally having a substituent and optionally
having an oxygen atom in a chain; R.sup.6 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl
group, and X is an oxygen atom or a --NH-- group), and a kit of reagent
for an immunoassay comprising a reagent containing an agglutination
accelerator for the immunoassay.
