Abstract: A nucleic acid adsorbent in which a polymer having a constitutional unit represented by the following formula (I) is immobilized on a water-insoluble carrier is used as a nucleic acid adsorbent capable of selectively and efficiently adsorbing nucleic acids from complex mixtures, such as cell extract, wherein R1 represents hydrogen, fluoride, or methyl; R2 and R3 each independently represent alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms; A is —NH— or —O—; and B represents alkylene of 2 to 18 carbon atoms. Nucleic acids are recovered from cell extract by allowing them to be adsorbed to the nucleic acid adsorbent by mixing this nucleic acid adsorbent with cell extract, removing the nucleic acids from the cell extract by separating the adsorbent therefrom, and dissociating the nucleic acids from the nucleic acid adsorbent by treating the separated nucleic acid adsorbent with alkali.

Abstract: An artificial carrier particle comprising an anionic polymer and a synthetic polyamino acid having at least one carboxylic group and at least one amino group in its side chain, the complex being insolubilized by an aldehyde crosslinking agent. The artificial carrier particle is useful in immunoassay, in particular, particle immunoassay. The artificial carrier particles are obtained by preparing an aqueous solution containing an anionic polymer and a synthetic polyamino acid comprising at least one free carboxyl group and at least one free amino group in its side chain, adjusting the pH of the solution to 3.5 to 9.5 at room temperature or at progressively increasing temperature under stirring to form solution particles of a desired particle size, and insolubilizing the particles by an aldehyde crosslinking agent.
