A method, composition and kit for detecting the presence of a phospholipid, such as phosphatidylserine, on a cell membrane is provided. A binding agent including lactadherin, a fragment of lactadherin, a functional equivalent of lactadherin, or a functional equivalent of a fragment of lactadherin, is used to detect the presence of any phospholipid.
