Abstract

Flow cytometric analysis of indirect immunofluorescence showed that surface determinants recognized by antisera (Candida Check; Iatron Laboratories, Tokyo, Japan) for factors 1, 4, 5, and 6 were expressed to the same extent by all cells of Candida albicans under each growth condition and for each morphology examined. Fluorescence intensity increased with increasing cell size.
