| Research Abstract |
To develop a new diagnostic technique for deep mycosis, we analyzed host innate immunity against fungal infection.Expression levels of dectin-1 and CD64 on monocytes from pulmonary mycosis patients were measured. Both of dectin-1 and CD64 levels in pulmonary mycosis were higher than that of health volunteers. Especially, expression levels of CD64 in chronic pulmonary aspergillosis patients were significantly higher than those of healthy volunteers. These results suggest that analysis of host immune system might be utilized for diagnosis of pulmonarymycosis.
