The aim of this study was to develop a novel lateral flow immunochromatoghaphic strip test
(ICT) for detecting cryptococcal polysaccharide capsular antigens using only a single …

Although kits to detect cryptococcal antigen are used widely to diagnose cryptococcal
infection, the comparative performance of commercially available assays has not been …

Immunoassay for detection of glucuronoxylomannan (GXM), the major capsular
polysaccharide of Cryptococcus neoformans, is an important tool for diagnosis of …

Objectives Current methods for cryptococcal antigen detection have some limitations. This
study aimed at evaluating a lateral flow assay (LFA) for the diagnosis of cryptococcosis in a …

Cryptococcus coagglutination (COA) test reagent was prepared locally and showed no cross
reactions with different species of bacteria or yeasts or with 75 control sera including 25 that …

Cryptococcosis is a systemic infection caused by the pathogenic yeasts Cryptococcus
neoformans and C. gattii. Detection of cryptococcal capsular antigen (CrAg) in serum and …

Background Cryptococcus neoformans causes life-threatening meningitis. A recently
introduced lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) to detect cryptococcal antigen (CRAG) is …

Three commercial latex kits, IBL, MYCO-Immune, and IMMY, for the detection of cryptococcal
antigen were compared in regard to sensitivity, specificity, and height of antigen titers. A total …

Cryptococcal antigen detection has become a routine biological test performed for patients
with AIDS. The poor prognosis of cryptococcosis explains the need for reliable tests. We …

We evaluated the performance of CRYPTO-LEX (Trinity Laboratories, Inc., Raleigh, NC), a
