Rabbits that had been infected intravenously with conidiospores of Aspergillus fumigatus
were used as sources of antibody for screening a λ phage cDNA expression library. The …

ABSTRACT A vaccine that effectively protects immunocompromised patients against
invasive aspergillosis is a novel approach to a universally fatal disease. Here we present a …

Theantibody response to Aspergillus fumigatus proteins was studied by the immunoblot
technique in a rabbit model of invasive aspergillosis. Components of an A. fumigatus …

Invasive aspergillosis is a disease of immunocompromised hosts and the pathogenesis of
this disorder is heavily dependent upon the defect within a given host. Consequently …

Despite the recent development of new anti-mould agents, there remains a significant
incidence of invasive aspergillosis in the most immunocompromised hosts and the response …

Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Aspergillus fumigatus galactomannan were
produced in rats. Seven of them, EB-A1 through EB-A7, were characterized in more detail …

Two murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Aspergillus fumigatus were produced
and characterized. Splenocytes from cell wall-immunized BALB/c mice were fused with …

Immunoblotting was used to dissect the antibody responses in the sera of 50 patients with
proven invasive aspergillosis, 28 patients with suspected invasive aspergillosis, 35 patients …

Eight monoclonal antibodies that recognize a serodiagnostically important 58-kDa antigen
of Aspergillus fumigatus were produced and partially characterized. 2-7, 2-12, and 2-14 are …

One of the major antigens secreted in vitro by Aspergillus fumigatus is an 18-kDa basic
protein which has been purified by cation-exchange chromatography. It is recognized by …
