Abstract
A .beta.-glucan detection reagent includes a horseshoe crab hemocyte lysate containing an endotoxin neutralizing peptide and a chromogenic substrate. The reagent provides a very sensitive method for detecting .beta.-glucans and is therefore useful as a diagnostic agent such as for detection of nosomycosis.
