Cross-reactivity
This antibody cross-reacted with NIH A-207 (serotype A) and J-1012 [serotype A] and C. tropicalis IFO 0610
Proposed epitopes
The epitope was proposed to contain β-1,2-linked oligomannosyl residues
Proposed Utility
antibodies to β- 1,2-linked oligomannosyl residues can be used as the serodiagnostic agent for detecting the C. albicans antigen(s) in sera and tissues of mammals with candidiasis.
