ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a composition for detecting an infinitesimal quantity of β-1,3-glucan, a preparation method thereof and a diagnostic kit detecting β-1,3-glucan. The composition of the present invention shows phenoloxidase activity by β-1,3-glucan in the presence of calcium ions. Using the composition of the present invention, a sample is gathered from a specimen, the composition of the present invention and calcium ions are added to the sample, and β-1,3-glucan is detected by measuring phenoloxidase activity.
