A method for measuring (1 → 3) -β-D glucan, a (1 → 3) -β-D glucan sensitive factor, and a DNA encoding the factor. DNA and amino acids of a subunit of (1 → 3) -β-D glucan susceptibility factor derived from horseshoe crab amebosite having strong affinity for (1 → 3) -β-D-glucan in fungal cell wall Provide an array. The peptide is useful as a fungal clinical diagnosis, an antibacterial agent combined with an antifungal agent, or a fungal removal agent. [Selection figure] None |
