Abstract
This invention relates to a method for immunologically measuring human thymidylate synthase with an anti-human thymidylate synthase antibody, wherein as the antibody, at least an anti-human thymidylate synthase polyclonal antibody immobilized on an insoluble matrix is used; a method for evaluating sensitivity of cancer cells to a fluoropyrimidine antitumor drug from the results of the measurement by the measuring method; and a human thymidylate synthase measuring kit comprising an insoluble matrix with at least one anti-human thymidylate synthase polyclonal antibody immobilized thereon. By a simple immunological measuring method, human TS in a sample can be measured with high sensitivity.
