Heat shock proteins (HSPs) from several pathogenic microbes have been shown to be target molecules of humoral responses as well as cellular immune responses. However, little is known about target...

Random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis of clinically and environmentally isolated Cryptococcus neoformans in Nagasaki.

Yamamoto, Y, Kohno, S, Koga, H, Kakeya, H, Tomono, K, Kaku, M, ...

We examined clinical (pulmonary cryptococcosis and cryptococcal meningitis) and environmental (pigeon excreta) isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans (serotype A) in the southern...

Enolase antigen, mannan antigen, Cand-Tec antigen, and beta-glucan in patients with candidemia.

Mitsutake, K, Miyazaki, T, Tashiro, T, Yamamoto, Y, Kakeya, H, Otsubo, T, ...

We compared the specificities and sensitivities of four tests used for the serodiagnosis of candidemia in 39 patients with candidemia, including 10 patients with superficial Candida colonization, 10...

Detection of Cryptococcus neoformans gene in patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis.

Tanaka, K, Miyazaki, T, Maesaki, S, Mitsutake, K, Kakeya, H, Yamamoto, Y, ...

Pulmonary cryptococcosis was diagnosed by nested PCR. Extraction of DNA was performed by mechanical destruction of the capsules of Cryptococcus neoformans by the glass bead technique. Nested PCR was...

Heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) as a major target of the antibody response in patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis

Kakeya, H, Udono, H, Maesaki, S, Sasaki, E, Kawamura, S, Hossain, M A, ...

Cryptococcus neoformans causes infection in individuals with defective T cell function, such as AIDS, as well as without underlying disease. It has been suggested that humoral as well as cellular...
