Abstract
A method of determining immunological cross reactivity between Candida and human tissue or food antigens. Tissue antigen preparations or food extracts are analyzed by electrophoresis. Cross reacting antigens are identified by immunoblotting using anti-Candida antisera.
Claims14
A method of detecting immunological cross reactivity between a plurality of tissue antigens and Candida albicans or Candida tropicalis antigens in an individual infected with Candida albicans or Candida tropicalis, comprising the steps of:
- isolating serum from said individual;
- contacting said tissue antigens with said serum;
- and
- determining whether said serum binds one or more of said tissue antigens.
A method of detecting immunological cross reactivity between food antigen and Candida albicans or Candida tropicalis antigens in an individual infected with Candida albicans or Candida tropicalis, comprising the steps of:
- isolating serum from said individual;
- contacting said food antigens with said serum;
- and
- determining whether said serum binds one or more of said food antigens.
A method of determining a diet plan for a patient having a Candida albicans or Candida tropicalis infection, comprising:
- isolating serum from said patient;
- contacting a plurality of food antigens with said serum;
- and
- determining whether said serum binds one or more of said food antigens, wherein said food antigens which bind said serum are avoided.
