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

摘要

Disclosed are: a method for detecting a target substance, which can detect the target substance with a high degree of efficiency, with high sensitivity and in a simple manner; a target substance detection polymer which can be used in the method; and a method for producing the polymer. The method for detecting a target substance comprises the following steps (A) to (C): (A) reacting two or more nucleic acid probes each capable of forming a polymer with a binding probe that has a domain capable of binding to the target substance and a domain capable of binding to at least one of the nucleic acid probes in a solution to form a target substance detection polymer; (B) binding the target substance detection polymer to the target substance; and (C) detecting the target substance detection polymer having the target substance bound thereto.
