.... Cladosporium herbarum Alternaria alternata Allergen Enolase Epitope Cross-reactivity Phage display Aspergillus fumigatus Candida albicans Saccharomyces cerevisiae Detailed knowledge of the molecular properties of fungal allergens is a prerequisite for improvements in diagnosis...

... of A. umbrosus and Candida albicans, sera from 20 patients with FL, 20 healthy farmers and 20 nonfarming controls were tested by nitrocellulose radioallergosorbent test (RAST). The values of RAST indices were low in each group and the only statistically significant difference was found between the groups of FL...

...Merja Nermes; Johannes Savolainen; Outi Kortekangas-Savolainen Two chemically purified mannan preparations and one affinity purified mannan preparation of Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were analyzed for allergenic cross-reactivity. Simultaneous IgE binding in radioallergosorbent...

...Shaokang P. Li; Sang-il Lee; Yanyun Wang; Judith E. Domer There is considerable controversy over the induction and activity of down-regulatory cells active in various antigen-specific and antigen-nonspecific systems. We have been studying the nature of such cells in a Candida albicans mannan (MAN...

...Gabriel Marquis; Hélène Marquis; Serge Mousseau; Johanne Fleurent Three antigens of Candida albicans were comparatively evaluated to their ability to elicit delayed hypersensitivity (DH) responses in the mouse footpad test, using alloxan-diabetic and normal mice which were primed with heat-killed C...

...Mitsuaki Kimura; Satoru Tsuruta; Takami Yoshida Background: Although Candida albicans (CA) is known to induce Th1 clones that suppress IgE synthesis, serum IgE antibody against CA is often increased in atopic patients. This study aims to elucidate the mechanism of IgE synthesis against CA in atopic...
