FIG. 4.

Purified antibodies against melanin bind conidia and sclerotic forms of F. pedrosoi. Fungal cells were incubated in the presence of human antibodies against melanin followed by FITC-labeled anti-human antibodies and were analyzed by flow cytometry. Fungal cells that had not been incubated with antibodies against melanin (a) showed basal levels of fluorescence, while fungal forms that were incubated with melanin antibodies (b) became fluorescent.
