Abstract
The present invention provides a target recognizing element wherein a receptor is fixed to an inclusion complex containing a mediator. The target recognizing element includes a first host molecule having hydrophilic groups and an inclusion site, a second host molecule having hydrophilic groups and an inclusion site, a receptor which is bonded to the hydrophilic groups of the second host molecule and which reacts with the target, and a guest molecule which is included by the inclusion site of the first host molecule and the inclusion site of the second host molecule and which transfers an electric charge generated by the reaction between the target and the receptor.
