Purification and amino-terminal sequence analysis of the complement-fixing and precipitin antigens from Coccidioides immitis.
Two proteins (21 and 48 kilodaltons) purified from endospore-spherule culture filtrates of Coccidioides immitis are identified as precipitin and complement-fixing antigens, respectively. To allow specific structural comparison to antigens identified by other investigators and as a first step to eventual serodiagnostic antigen production by recombinant DNA technology, amino-terminal amino acid sequences were determined for these antigens.
