Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a method for detection of an analyte of interest in a sample comprising the use of a ligand capable of specific binding to the analyte, wherein the ligand comprises a primer oligo-deoxyribonucleotide having a length of 18-40 nucleotides, a template polyribonucleotide being longer than the primer oligo-deoxyribonucleotide and having a sequence that is at least partially complementary to the primer oligo-deoxyribonucleotide, a plurality of labelled deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates, and an enzyme with reverse transcriptase activity, wherein the analyte is detected by detecting any labelled DNA strand synthesized by the enzyme. The invention also relates to a kit comprising reagents for performing such a method.
