A method for detecting a hybrid multi-stranded nucleic acid sample nucleic acid, which comprises the step of allowing the sample nucleic acid to interact with a probe nucleic acid to form a hybrid multi-stranded nucleic acid by hybridization of the probe nucleic acid and the sample nucleic acid, which further comprises the steps of allowing two or more kinds of compounds with affinity to multi-stranded nucleic acids, each having a different luminescent characteristic, to interact with the hybrid multi-stranded nucleic acid, and then detecting luminescence generated as a result of an energy transfer between the two or more kinds of the compounds with affinity to multi-stranded nucleic acids. |
