Outline of Final Research Achievements

Although mucormycosis is a fatal complication in immunocompromised patients, there are no specific or useful serum biomarkers for diagnosing mucormycosis. A definitive diagnosis of mucormycosis is based on histopathological findings, molecular detection, and/or a positive culture in the affected tissue. We modified the qPCR assay (targeting Mucor/Rhizopus, Lichtheimia, and Rhizomucor) which Millon et al. had reported to indicate the absolute amount for the monitoring of activity of mucormycosis. In addition, we could purify Mucorales lysate and amplify fungus-specific T cells using aspergillus which were a representative filamentous fungi fungus and the dendritic cells.
