Abstract

Kinetic analysis of candidosis patients' immunoglobulin G3 response has shown that reactivity towards beta(1-2)-linked mannan-derived oligomannosides was associated with the recognition through metaperiodate-sensitive epitopes of a 14- to 18-kDa Candida albicans antigen unreactive with concanavalin A.
