title: Cell wall antigens in soluble cytoplasmic extracts of candida albicans as demonstrated by crossed immuno-affinoelectrophoresis with concanavalin A.
abstract: Crossed immuno-affinoelectrophoresis with Concanavalin A precipitated four antigens from soluble extracts of the yeast and mycelial phases of Candida albicans. Two of these antigens were also present in spheroplast preparations. One of the Concanavalin A precipitated antigens was destroyed by periodate and none were digested by pronase. Sequential treatment with pronase and periodate destroyed two of the remaining three antigens. The Concanavalin A precipitated antigens appear to be glycoproteins, two of which are associated with the cell wall of C. albicans.
