METHODS AND REAGENTS FOR DETECTING FUNGAL PATHOGENMETHODS AND REAGENTS FOR DETECTING FUNGAL PATHOGENS IN A BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE S IN A BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE

摘要

The present invention provides novel methods and materials for detecting the presence of a fungus in a biological sample. The inventive methods and materials exploit the fact that the amino acid sequence of the saccharopine dehydrogenase molecule is highly conserved in fungi. Inventive hybridization probes, nucleic acids, PCR primers, antibodies, epitopes, reagents and methods are provided.
