Abstract
In a method and an apparatus wherein carriers sensitized by an antibody or an antigen are caused to react to a specimen sample and the condensation of the carriers caused by the antigen-antibody reaction is optically detected by the use of flow cytometry, thereby measuring the antigen or antibody in the specimen sample, a plurality of kinds of carriers differing in optical characteristic are sensitized by different kinds of antibodies or antigens, respectively, whereby a plurality of kinds of antigens or antibodies in the specimen sample are measured at a time.
