The present invention provides a method for detecting a target substance, which comprises steps of: (A) allowing a target substance to come into contact with a protein labeled with a compound having a 6-membered ring, so as to carry out a binding reaction; and (B) detecting the protein labeled with the compound having a 6-membered ring, which was bound to the target substance, by using an antibody against the above compound having a 6-membered ring.Other References
