Abstract:
The reactivity of affinity-purified antibody to two components of germ tube cell wall extracts of Candida albicans showed that the components shared a common determinant(s). Surface expression of at least one of these determinants was demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence where antibody binding was observed only on the hyphal extension of the organism.
