POLYMER FOR DETECTION OF TARGET SUBSTANCE, AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF TARGET SUBSTANCE

摘要

Provided is a method of detecting a target substance by which the target substance can be detected with efficiency and a high sensitivity, and in a simple manner, a target substance detection polymer used in the method, and a method of forming the polymer. The method of detecting a target substance includes the steps of: (A) forming a target substance detection polymer by causing multiple kinds of nucleic acid probes for forming a polymer to react with a binding probe having a region capable of binding to the target substance and a region capable of binding to at least one of the nucleic acid probes in a solution; (B) binding the target substance detection polymer and the target substance; and (C) detecting the target substance detection polymer to which the target substance is bound.
