    • The present invention relates to a method for amplifying a signal in an immunochro-matographic assay for high-sensitivity detection of an analyte and an immunochromatographic kit using the method, which amplifies a signal by controlling a flow rate by discrimination between the size of a first indicator and the size of a second indicator. According to an aspect of the present invention, a method for amplifying a signal in an immunochromatographic assay includes: binding a primary conjugate body, which has a first antibody binding specifically to a first epitope of an analyte, a connector, and a first indicator to which the first antibody and the connector are bound, to the analyte; binding the analyte bound to the primary conjugate body to an immobilized second antibody binding specifically to a second epitope of the analyte; and binding a secondary conjugate body, which has a third antibody binding specifically to the connector of the primary conjugate body and a second indicator to which the third antibody is bound, to the connector of the primary conjugate body, wherein the primary conjugate body is disposed nearer to the immobilized second antibody than the secondary conjugate body, and the particle of the second indicator is larger than the particle of the first indicator, so that the secondary conjugate body reaches the immobilized second antibody later than the primary conjugate body. According to another aspect of the present invention, an immunochromatographic kit includes: a sample pad to which a liquid sample containing an analyte is applied; a conjugate pad including a primary conjugate body having a first antibody binding specifically to a first epitope of an analyte, a connector, and a first indicator to which the first antibody and the connector are bound, and a secondary conjugate body having a third antibody binding specifically to the connector of the primary conjugate body and a second indicator to which the third antibody is bound, wherein the primary conjugate body is disposed nearer to an immobilized second antibody than the secondary conjugate body and the second indicator is larger than the first indicator so that the secondary conjugate body reaches the immobilized second antibody later than the primary conjugate body; a membrane including a detection site immobilizing thereto the second antibody binding specifically to a second epitope of the analyte to which the primary conjugate body is bound, and a control site for error detection; and an absorbing pad absorbing the liquid sample by a capillary phenomenon. Thus, the present invention can perform signal amplification without separate mechanical control or artificial step-by-step reaction.
