Molecular Detection of Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum in Human Clinical Samples [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2003 ABSTRACT We developed a seminested PCR for the diagnosis of histoplasmosis that amplifies a portion of the Histoplasma capsulatum H antigen gene. This assay is highly sensitive and specific, being able to detect genomic material corresponding to less than 10 yeast cells without cross-reaction against other

A murine monoclonal antibody exhibiting high species specificity for Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1990 A monoclonal antibody (mAb) exhibiting a high degree of species specificity for the yeast phase of the dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum was produced by a modification of the standard mAb production protocol. The technique for generating mAbs involved the use of the immunosuppressive drug cyclophosphamide to diminish the response in mice to ...

Comparison of radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked immunoassay methods for detection of Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum antigen [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1997 The purpose of this study was to compare the conventional radioimmunoassay (RIA) to an enzyme-linked immunoassay (EIA) for the measurement of Histoplasma antigen in banked urine specimens. A correlation between the two methods would allow the EIA to be used as a nonradioactive alternative to the established 125I RIA.
