Abstract
A detection sheet capable of detecting an antigen or antibody in a biological fluid with a high sensitivity in a simple operation, as well as a detection kit and detection method using the detection sheet. The detection sheet comprises (a) a fibrous aggregate with carried particles of a calcium phosphate compound having an average particle diameter of about 0.01 to 200 microns and a Ca/P ratio of about 1.0 to 2.0, and (b) an avidin, streptavidin or avidin derivative from which carbohydrates have been extracted immobilized on said calcium phosphate compound. After a biotinylated antigen or antibody is bonded to the immobilized avidin, streptavidin, or avidin derivative of the detection sheet, the detection sheet is contacted with a test solution to thereby bond an antigen or antibody of the test solution to the detection sheet. The detection sheet is then contacted with a solution of labeling compound capable of being specifically bonded to the antigen or antibody of said test solution to detect the thus labeled antigen-antibody complex.
