We developed a new method for detection of Candida albicans cells in human blood by the polymerase chain reaction that amplifies a 125-bp region within a species-specific, multiple-copy DNA fragment. In preparing template DNA from C. albicans-containing blood, the addition of C. tropicalis cells, together with antibody which reacts with both cells, raised the sensitivity of detection of C. albicans to about 3 cells per 0.1 ml.
我们开发了一种通过聚合酶链反应检测人血液中白色念珠菌细胞的新方法,该反应可扩增物种特异性多拷贝DNA片段内的一个125碱基对区域。在从含有白色念珠菌的血液中制备模板DNA时,加入热带念珠菌细胞以及与两种细胞都发生反应的抗体,可将白色念珠菌的检测灵敏度提高到每0.1毫升约3个细胞。
