Mab 4E6

[edit] Antibody type and class

IgM

[edit] Assay System

ELISA, immunofluorescence, crossed immunoelectrophoresis

[edit] Cross-reactivity

This antibody cross-reacted with 5 strains of Candida albicans and also cross-reacted with Candida tropicalis and Candida stellatoidia but did not cross-react with T. glabrata and S. cerevisiae

[edit] Proposed epitopes
