Aspergillus fumigatus is a cosmopolitan saprotrophic fungus that is second only to Candida
species as a cause of invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised humans. Current …

The effect of culture media, temperature of incubation, and continuous shaking of cultures,
on the reactivity and yield of antigens of Aspergillus fumigatus were evaluated. It was found …

Six hundred sixteen sera from 79 hematology patients admitted on 152 occasions were
analyzed for validation of the Aspergillus jumigatus antigen radioimmunoassay (RIA) …

Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Aspergillus fumigatus galactomannan were
produced in rats. Seven of them, EB-A1 through EB-A7, were characterized in more detail …

The diagnostic value of an immunodiffusion (ID) test with standardized precipitinogens
derived from five Aspergillus species was determined with sera from 60 proven and 12 …

In recent years there has been some progress in diagnosing invasive aspergillosis at an
early stage of disease. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays are more sensitive than …

Culture filtrate antigens of Aspergillus fumigatus were fractionated by isoelectric focusing
using a pH gradient of 4–6.5. Three fractions, namely, 18, 19 and 20 were pooled and …

Because of difficulties in antemortem diagnosis of systemic aspergillosis, a
radioimmunoassay to an Aspergillus fumigatus carbohydrate was developed and evaluated …

These further studies demonstrated that most antigens and allergens detected by allergic
bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) sera were recognized by rabbit antiserum, and a …

Aspects of humoral immunity were studied in 17 dogs with disseminated aspergillosis (16
cases Aspergillus terreus, 1 case Aspergillus flavipes). All dogs had markedly raised serum …
