Abstract
As a result of the analysis by an SST-REX method so as to identify a target molecule for treating and testing an Aspergillus fumigatus infection, a YMAF1 protein has been found out, which is mainly localized in the cell wall of Aspergillus fumigatus. Moreover, it has been found out that YMAF1 protein-deficient Aspergillus fumigatus has reduced spore-forming ability and pathogenicity. Further, it has been found out that the survival rate of experimental mice having aspergillosis (invasive Aspergillus model mice) is improved by preparing and administering an antibody against the YMAF1 protein. Furthermore, it has been found out that Aspergillus fumigatus can be detected with a favorable sensitivity by an ELISA system using the antibody.
