Produktinformation

• Name: D-Galacto-D-mannan - From aspergillus fumigatus
• Synonyme: Aspergillus fumigatus galactomannan
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: The Galactomannan from Aspergillus fumigatus consistists of a mannose backbone with galactose side groups, more specifically, a (1-4)-linked b-D-mannopyranose backbone with branchpoints from their 6-positions linked to a-D-galactose, (i.e. 1-6-linked a-D-galactopyranose). This polysaccharide is a component of the cell wall of the mold Aspergillus and is released during growth. Detection of galactomannan in blood is used to diagnose invasive aspergillosis infections in humans. This is performed with monoclonal antibodies in a double-sandwich ELISA; the assay was approved by the FDA in 2003 and is of moderate accuracy.
