Lack of antibody induction following skin testing with histolyn-CYL: ELISA determinations with Histoplasma capsulatum yeast and mycelial phase antigens.
No significant increases in antibody levels (IgG, IgM) were detected when serum specimens obtained from individuals exhibiting a positive skin test to the Histoplasma capsulatum yeast phase reagent, Histolyn-CYL, were assayed by the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using yeast and mycelial phase antigens.
