Rapid PCR test for discriminating between Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis isolates using primers derived from the pH-regulated PHR1 and PHR2 genes of C. albicans.

abstract：:Sera from goats suffering from caprine arthritis-encephalitis contained antibodies to virus proteins of 15, 17, 28, 40, and 130 kilodaltons in immunoblots of maedi-visna virus. We propose to use immunoblotting as a validation test for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and demonstrate that the specificity of indirect e...
