[Problem] To provide a specific antibody with which it is possible to simply and quickly detect, with high sensitivity, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, the bacterium that causes mycoplasma pneumonia, and to provide an immunological detection method and a kit that include the antibody. [Solution] By producing an antibody that recognizes a specific epitope of the P30 protein of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and performing immunological detection using the antibody, it is possible to diagnose Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection more quickly and specifically than conventional methods. By means of the present invention, it is possible to detect and diagnose Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection simply and quickly at a hospital, or the like, without the need for a special apparatus and an expert technique. |
