Detection ofAspergillus Fumigatus based on Asp fl gene in clinical specimens
Oligonucleotide primers were synthesised based on the gene sequence of an 18 kDa allergen/antigen ofA. fumigatus isolated from a pathogenic strain. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out using the forwar...

Biochemical characterization of an immunodominant allergen/antigen ofAspergillus fumigatus
An 18kDa protein was identified as a major immunodominant allergen/antigen secreted by a wild type isolate and various clinical isolates ofA. fumigatus. The protein was purified to homogeneity and the N-terminal ...
