PROTEIN RELATED TO HEMAGGLUTINATION OR HEMADSORPTION REACTION AND GENE THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: A protein related to hemagglutination or hemadsorption reaction and the gene thereof are provided to screen effective ingredient in diagnosis of fungal infection. CONSTITUTION: A new protein related to hemagglutination or hemadsorption reaction performs coagulation of a foreign material. A phenoloxidase distinguishes and recognizes self and non-self selectively. The phenoloxidase and the gene thereof induce coagulation and adsorption of a foreign material by using blood cell so as to block diffusion of the foreign material. The protein removes selectively fungi and bacteria invading into a body and is used in diagnosis of pathogenic foreign material. A pro-phenoloxidase is used in detection of melanin forming repressor.
