Binding of mouse fibrinogen to Candida albicans in vivo.
Binding of fibrinogen to various Candida albicans strains has been investigated by immunofluorescence microscopy on kidney sections of experimentally infected mice. Fibrinogen appeared to bind to both mycelium and blastospores in situ whereas previous studies, carried out in vitro, have shown fibrinogen binding to mycelial elements only.
