Wall formation by Candida albicans yeast cells: synthesis, secretion and incorporation of two types of mannoproteins

Wall formation by Candida albicans yeast cells: synthesis, secretion and incorporation of two types of mannoproteins.

The mannoprotein components solubilized from the walls of Candida albicans blastoconidia following degradation of the glucan network with beta-glucanase (Zymolyase) have higher molecular masses than their probable precursors present in the supernatant of regenerating protoplasts. It therefore appears that the mannoproteins are released from the walls as part of supramolecular complexes. Immunol...

Serologic response to cell wall mannoproteins and proteins of Candida albicans.

The cell wall of Candida albicans not only is the structure in which many biological functions essential for the fungal cells reside but also is a significant source of candidal antigens. The major cell wall components that elicit a response from the host immune system are proteins and glycoproteins, the latter being predominantly mannoproteins. Both the carbohydrate and protein moieties are ab...

synthesis of platinum nanostructures in two phase system

چکیده پلاتین، فلزی نجیب، پایدار و گران قیمت با خاصیت کاتالیزوری زیاد است که کاربرد های صنعتی فراوانی دارد. کمپلکس های پلاتین(ii) به عنوان دارو های ضد سرطان شناخته شدند و در شیمی درمانی بیماران سرطانی کاربرد دارند. خاصیت کاتالیزوری و عملکرد گزینشی پلاتین مستقیماً به اندازه و- شکل ماده ی پلاتینی بستگی دارد. بعضی از نانو ذرات فلزی در سطح مشترک مایع- مایع سنتز شده اند، اما نانو ساختار های پلاتین ب...

Secretion, interaction and assembly of two O-glycosylated cell wall antigens from Candida albicans.

The mechanisms of incorporation of two antigens have been determined using a monoclonal antibody (3A10) raised against the material released from the mycelial cell wall by zymolyase digestion and retained on a concanavalin A column. One of the hybridomas secreted an IgG that reacted with two bands in Western blots. Indirect immunofluorescence showed that the antigens were located on the surface...
