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 bacterial or fungal pathogens.
我们开发了一种用于诊断组织胞浆菌病的半巢式聚合酶链反应(PCR),该方法可扩增荚膜组织胞浆菌H抗原基因的一部分。此检测方法具有高度的敏感性和特异性,能够检测到对应少于10个酵母细胞的基因组物质,且不会与其他细菌或真菌病原体发生交叉反应。
