The present application provides a kit for detecting gonococci in a sample, which is a new gonococci detection method excellent in detection sensitivity of gonococci, capable of on-site detection of gonococci from various samples such as
urine, intraoral fluid, etc. The kit comprises a
capture antibody for capturing gonococci-derived
antigen in a sample, and a detection
antibody having a detection
label and for labeling gonococci-derived
antigen in a sample, and the gonococci-derived
antigen is
ribosomal protein L7 / L12 of gonococci, one of the
capture antibody and the detection
antibody is a first
monoclonal antibody or a fragment thereof, or a derivative thereof, which produces antigen-antibody reaction with an
epitope comprising one or more than two
amino acid residues from the 2nd to 14th
amino acid residues from the N-terminal end in the
amino acid sequence of L7 / L12 of gonococci shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, and the other of the
capture antibody and the detection antibody is a second
monoclonal antibody or a fragment thereof, or a derivative thereof, which produces antigen-antigen reaction with an
epitope comprising one or more than two amino acid residues from the 102nd to 123rd amino acid residues from the N-terminal end in the amino acid sequence of L7 / L12 of the gonococci shown in SEQ ID NO: 1.
