摘要
Anti-Candida albicans germ tube antibodies can be induced in rabbits immunized with different C albicans extracts. Antigens responsible for the induction of those antibodies have molecular weights of approximately 230-250, 62, 43 and 41 kDa. These antigens are present in the cell wall of both C albicans morphological forms, although their location seems to be different.
