Antibodies to germinating and yeast cells of Candida albicans in human and rabbit sera.
Two major antigenic components, I and II, were detected by double immunodiffusion in sonic extracts of the germinating (G) or yeast (Y) cells of the dimorphis organism, Candida albicans group A. Component I may be a heterogeneous mixture of antigens which are stable to heating and phenol. Component II is more homogeneous but is labile to heat and phenol. Rabbit antisera, showing only precipitin...
متن کاملCharacterization of Candida albicans cell wall antigens with monoclonal antibodies.
The antigenic composition of Candida albicans is very complex. In order to study the antigenic relationship between blastoconidia and germ tubes of C. albicans, we produced several monoclonal antibodies and analyzed their reactivity against cell wall antigens either in intact cells or in cells treated with dithiothreitol. Overall, four types of reactivity were found. Monoclonal antibodies 3D9 a...
متن کاملCross-reacting human and rabbit antibodies to antigens of Histoplasma capsulatum, Candida albicans, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Using Western blots of electrophoretically separated antigens, we show that human antibodies react most frequently to antigens shared by three fungi (Histoplasma capsulatum, Candida albicans, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Reactivity to antigens specific for individual fungi was relatively uncommon. The pattern of reactivity could not distinguish infected patients from uninfected controls. Rabb...
متن کاملDetection of antibodies against adenovirus protein IX, fiber, and hexon in human sera by immunoblot assay.
The 51 serotypes of human adenoviruses (HAdVs) of the genus Mastadenovirus are classified into the six species HAdV-A to HAdV-F. For the detection of genus- and species-specific antibodies in human sera an immunoblot assay was developed. The recombinant long fiber of HAdV-41[F] (Ad41Fi) and the native hexon of HAdV-5[C] were used as genus-specific antigens. The recombinant capsid protein IX (pI...
متن کاملProteomic and immunoblot analyses of Bartonella quintana total membrane proteins identify antigens recognized by sera from infected patients.
Bartonella quintana is a fastidious, gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that causes prolonged bacteremia in immunocompetent humans and severe infections in immunocompromised individuals. We sought to define the outer membrane subproteome of B. quintana in order to obtain insight into the biology and pathogenesis of this emerging pathogen and to identify the predominant B. quintana antigens tar...
