Detection of Aspergillus galactomannan: comparison of an enzyme-linked immunoassay and a europium-linked time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay

A Paugam et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1998 Oct.

Abstract

With a view to improving the sensitivity of serological detection of Aspergillus galactomannan (GM), a europium-linked time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay was developed. This method was compared to an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a peroxidase-conjugated detector antibody. No increase in the sensitivity of the detection of GM standards was seen with the europium-based fluoroimmunoassay.
