REAGENT FOR DETERMINING (1+3)-.BETA.-D-GLUCAN

摘要

The present invention provides a reagent for determining (1.fwdarw.3)-.beta.-D-glucan comprising a lysate substan- tially free from any endotoxin-sensitive factor, which is obtained by contacting limulus amebocyte lysate optionally containing dextran with a polyamide or cellulose insoluble carrier, which makes it possible to rapidly and easily determine at a high accuracy (1.fwdarw.3)-.beta.-D-glucan of mycotic origin contained in the body fluid such as blood or urine. -44-
