Detection of Aspergillus fumigatus precipitins: a comparison of counter immunoelectrophoresis and double diffusion.
نویسنده
چکیده
A counter immunoelectrophoresis method was compared with a double diffusion test for detecting Aspergillus fumigatus antibodies. Of 70 patients, 23 gave positive results in both tests and the remainder gave negative results. Fifteen patients with proven aspergillosis gave positive results in both tests.

Precipitins and specific IgG antibody to Aspergillus fumigatus in a chest unit population.
BACKGROUND The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting IgG antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus is more sensitive than the measurement of Aspergillus precipitins. The relation of the results from both techniques to the clinical pattern of disease in a large unselected group of patients from a large referral centre is unknown. METHODS The clinical relation of precipitins to Aspe...
متن کاملImmunochemical reactivity of Aspergillus fumigatus antigens from different sources.
We have studied the immunochemical and biochemical differences in 12 Aspergillus fumigatus strains isolated from different sources. The enzymatic activity of all these strains were studied by a rapid enzyme detection method (API-ZYM). One of 12 strains studied produced alkaline phosphatase, while two produced chymotrypsin, and three produced trypsin. By SDS-PAGE we studied proteins present in t...
متن کاملDetection of Aspergillus fumigatus serum precipitins by counterimmunoelectrophoresis.
Detection of serum precipitins to Aspergillus fumigatus by counterimmunoelectrophoresis is compared with the immunodiffusion technique. Eight of nine (89%) sera from patients with proven A. fumigatus infection were positive by both methods. No serum from subjects with other systemic mycoses, bacterial infections, or healthy controls had detectable precipitins. The highest serum precipitin titer...
متن کاملRecombinant allergens combined with biological markers in the diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in cystic fibrosis patients.
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a frequent complication in cystic fibrosis patients. The diagnosis remains difficult and requires a combination of clinical, radiological, biological, and mycological criteria. The aim of this study was to analyze the added value of two recombinant antigens, rAspf4 and rAspf6, associated with the detection of specific IgG; precipitins; total IgE...
متن کاملAntifungal Effects of Thyme, Agastache and Satureja Essential Oils on Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium solani
Growth inhibition of Aspergillus fumigatus,Aspergillus flavus and Fusarum solani exposed to the essential oils including Thyme, Agastache and Satureja were studied. Disc Diffusion Method was used to evaluate the fungal growth inhibitory effects of the essential oils. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal fungicidal concentration (MFC) of the oils were determined and compared with ...
