1-10. (canceled)
A method for diagnosing a disease comprising:
- obtaining a sample from a biological specimen suspected of having a disease, wherein said disease is identifiable by detecting a basic peptide;
- mixing the sample and a reagent comprising a heat-denatured albumin;
- forming a complex comprising the basic peptide and the heat-denatured albumin;
- obtaining optical information by irradiating the mixed sample and reagent with light;
- detecting the basic peptide using said optical information.
