Patent

CA 2286335

A method for identifying a protein antigen to a target fungus is disclosed. The method comprises screening expressed proteins from a cDNA gene expression library with antisera to the target fungus and cross- screening with antisera to a nontarget fungus. Antibodies to the protein antigen are also disclosed. Methods for detecting the presence or absence of the antibodies or of the protein antigen are also disclosed, as well as kits for performing such assays. In preferred embodiments, the target fungus is H. capsulatum.

La présente invention concerne un procédé d'identification d'un antigène de protéine dirigé contre un champignon cible. Le procédé comprend également une sélection de protéines exprimées provenant d'une bibliothèque d'expression de gènes d'ADNc à l'aide d'antisérums dirigés contre le champignon cible et une sélection croisée à l'aide d'un antisérum dirigé contre un champignon non cible. La présente invention concerne également des anticorps dirigés contre l'antigène de protéine. La présente invention concerne, en outre, des procédés de détection de la présence ou de l'absence des anticorps ou de l'antigène de protéine ainsi que des équipements permettant d'exécuter ces analyses. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le champignon cible est H. capsulatum.
