Cross-reactivity

Yeast cells of 15 additional C. albicans strains and isolates of C. stellatoidka, C. tropicalis, C. intermedia and C. lusitaniae were also agglutinated by mAb 1OG. The antigen was not detected on other fungi, including Can&& krusei, C.utilis, Cryptococcus neoformans, Cr. albidus, Torulopsis glabrata, Rhodotorula spp. and Saccharomyces cerevisiae
