| Research Abstract |
We evaluated the availability of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) as the biomarker during the pulmonary invasive aspergillosis in murine infection model. We established the murine infection model and developed the apparatus for trapping of VOCs in murine breath. The detection of VOCs was performed by the SPME (solid phase microextraction)/ GC-MS (gas chromatography- mass spectrometry) method. Although we found several VOCs (2-ethyl-1-decanol、 2,3,6-trimethyl-octane、Isothiocyanatocyclohexane、1, 4-Methanoazulene (Longifolene)) in mouse chamber, there is no significant difference in TIC chromatograph between healthy and infected mouse. Thus we must reconsider the method for fungal infection.
