Research Excerpts

Overview

Galactomannan is a major component of the Aspergillus cell wall that has been widely used as a diagnostic marker. Galacts are storage polysaccharides from various plant seeds that reserve energy for germination in the endosperm. The test is a useful method for early diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis.
