Quantitative Sandwich Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)

 

Cautions

Cross-reactions are seen with blastomycosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, penicilliosis, less frequently in coccidioidomycosis, rarely in aspergillosis and possibly sporotrichosis.

Sputolysin, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide treatment degrade the analyte detected in the assay.
