Abstract

PURPOSE:To safely and economically detect the protein immobilized on a membrane with high sensitivity, by adsorbing palladium colloid by protein and applying the electroless plating of a base metal to said protein to sensitize the same. CONSTITUTION:In detecting the protein immobilized on a membrane, this membrane is treated with palladium colloid stabilized with a nonionic surfactant. As the membrane used in the immobilization of protein to be detected, any one commonly used in a gold colloid method is used. As a method for immobilizing protein to be inspected on the membrane, for example, an electroblotting method is used. Subsequently, the electroless plating of a base metal is further applied to the membrane thus treated to sensitize the protein. This electroless plating is a catalytic chemical plating utilizing the catalytic activity of palladium and a metal is selectively precipitated on a metal surface having catalytic action. By applying immersion treatment to the treated membrane in an electroless plating liquid, the base metal is precipitated on palladium colloidal particles from said plating liquid and, therefore, protein can be detected with high sensitivity.
