INVASIVE CANDIDIASIS (CAGTA) IFA IgG

INVASIVE CANDIDIASIS (CAGTA) IFA IgG allows to detect specific antibodies against antigens of the mycelium phase by means of a previous absorption of samples with C. albicans yeasts in order to eliminate other antibodies typical of colonized but not infected patients. The detection of anti-mycelium antibodies allows for discriminating between infection and colonization. These antibodies are only produced against antigensof the cell wall of Candida which are expressed when yeast is in mycelium phase, i.e. when it is infecting the patient.
