The secreted aspartyl proteinases 2 (Sap2) of Candida albicans (C. albicans) is a potential marker of candididasis. It is a virulence factor associated with adherence and tissue invasion.
In order to detect Sap2 in clinical sera, we developed an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Polyclonal antibodies were produced for Sap2 by injecting Sap2 into a New Zealand White inbred rabbit. They could be used at a dilution exceeding 1:1200 in an indirect ELISA, and detected Sap2 concentration up to 1 ng/mL.
Of the 286 cancer serum samples tested, 16.8% were found as candidiasis. The test was simple and economical to perform and had a level of sensitivity for detection of low-titer positive sera; thus, it may be proven to be of value in epidemiological studies on candidiasis.
白色念珠菌的分泌天冬氨酸蛋白酶2(Sap2)是念珠菌病的一个潜在标志物。它是一种与黏附和组织侵袭相关的毒力因子。
为了检测临床血清中的Sap2,我们开发了一种间接竞争酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)法。
通过将Sap2注射到新西兰白色近交系兔体内制备针对Sap2的多克隆抗体。它们在间接ELISA中可在超过1:1200的稀释度下使用,并且能够检测到高达1 ng/mL的Sap2浓度。
在所检测的286份癌症血清样本中,发现16.8%存在念珠菌病。该检测操作简单且经济,对低滴度阳性血清的检测具有一定灵敏度;因此,它可能在念珠菌病的流行病学研究中被证明具有价值。
