FIG. 3.

S. schenckii yeast cells and conidia specifically bind to Fn. The adhesion of yeast cells and conidia to Fn at 75 μg/ml was tested in the presence of different concentrations of a purified immunoglobulin fraction of an anti-Fn rabbit serum. Binding in the absence of antibody was considered 100% adhesion. Negative controls were done with antibodies from normal rabbit serum. The values are the means ± SD of triplicate wells. The figure is representative of three independent experiments.
