AND JOSEPH LOEWE. Antigenic studiesof Candida. II. Antigenic relation of Candida albicans group A and group B to Candida stellatoidea and Candida tropicalis. J. Bacteriol. 82:574-577. 1961.-Previous work in our laboratory has shown the presence of two antigenic groups within the species Candida albicans. These groups have been designated as groups A and B. Subsequent studies have been conducted to show the antigenic relationship of these groups with Candida stellatoidea and Candida tropicalis. Antisera to two strains each of C. albicans group A, C. albicans group B, C. stellatoidea, and C. tropicalis were used in this investigation. Individual suspensions from each of nine strains of C. stellatoidea and from ten strains each of the other groups and species were used to test the agglutinative properties of unadsorbed and adsorbed antisera. Separate samples of antisera to each immunizing strain were reciprocally cross adsorbed with the other immunizing strains and tested for agglutination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
