  • Title: A radioimmunoassay method for the rapid detection of Candida antibodies in experimental systemic candidiasis.
    Author: Huang SY, Berry CW, Newman JT, Cooper WH, Zachariah NY.
    Journal: Mycopathologia; 1979 Mar 30; 67(1):55-8. PubMed ID: 109767.
    Abstract:
    Rabbits were employed as experimental models to evaluate a solid-phase radioimmunoassay (RIA) method for the diagnosis of systemic candidiasis. Ten rabbits were inoculated subcutaneously to mimic superficial candidiasis and were found to produce no antibodies to Candida as determined by both immunodiffusion and RIA procedures. However, 94 per cent of 18 rabbits systemically infected by intravenous injection of Candida cells were observed to produce antibody as assessed by the RIA technique. These data encourage further tests with human sera and the continued development ofthis RIA procedure as a useful tool in the early serodiagnosis of systemic candidiasis.
