Research abstract
We will develop a simple, rapid quantitative test for the presence of a water-soluble fungal-specifdiagnostic that will be useful for detecting both acute, life-threatening infections as well as subaThis test exploits the observation that when Candida albicans yeast cells divide, soluble oligomersreleased into the surrounding medium. They will use a monoclonal antibody that binds (1,3) ¿-glucana simple, rapid dipstick antigen- capture fungal diagnostic.
