Abstract
Antiserum produced in the rabbit to autoclaved mycelial suspensions of Microsporum quinckeanum reacted with three neutral polysaccharides isolated from each of five species of dermatophytes, M. quinckeanum, Trichophyton granulosum, T. interdigitale, T. rubrum, and T. schönleinii. The serological reactivities of these polysaccharides, grouped as galactomannans I, galactomannans II, and glucans, were compared by qualitative precipitation analyses in gel and quantitative complement-fixation analyses. Significant differences were found among the glucans and galactomannans II but not among the galactomannans I of these species.
