Antigens derived from three different yeast strains of Histoplasma capsulatum (GW and VC used by the Veterans Administration Serology Reference Laboratory and the Centers for Disease Control reference antigen, A811) were compared with each other to determine their equivalency. Results from 200 sera, tested concurrently by the Serology Reference Laboratory and the University of Kentucky Mycoserology Laboratory, indicated that the VC yeast antigen gave better correlation to the A811 antigen than did the GW antigen.
对来自荚膜组织胞浆菌三种不同酵母菌株的抗原(退伍军人管理局血清学参考实验室使用的GW和VC以及疾病控制中心参考抗原A811)进行相互比较,以确定它们的等效性。血清学参考实验室和肯塔基大学真菌血清学实验室同时检测的200份血清结果表明,与GW抗原相比,VC酵母抗原与A811抗原的相关性更好。
