1. A method for measuring an analyte in a chylous plasma or chylous serum by a latex agglutination immunoassay, comprising the following steps:
(1) bringing a chylous plasma or chylous serum containing chyle into contact with imidazole or an imidazole derivative, or a salt thereof in a liquid phase;
(2) adding latex particles carrying a substance having a specific affinity for the analyte to the liquid phase sequentially after the step (1); and
(3) measuring an agglutination reaction between the analyte and the latex particles after the step (2), without performing a cleaning or separation step during or after the step (2),
wherein the concentration of imidazole or an imidazole derivative, or a salt thereof in the step (3) of measuring the agglutination reaction of the latex particles is not less than 100 mM and not more than 375 mM.
