Ultrastructural localization of specific surface antigens in the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii
Abstract
The ultrastructural localization of antigens recognized by an antiserum raised against formaline-killed Sporothrix schenckii yeast cells was investigated on yeast and mycelial phases of the fungus. Immunogold procedures revealed that these antigens were located on the cell surface of both growth phases. Labelling was heterogeneous and involved areas of Concanavalin A-binding sugar residues.
