Abstract

In crossed immunoelectrophoresis with the corresponding pooled rabbit antisera, and antigen preparations produced 65 and 63 immunoprecipitates, respectively. The cross-reactions between these antigens and antigens from 15 other yeast strains representing nine species were studied by crossed-line immunoelectrophoresis, using and antigen-antibody systems as references. We found no qualitative differences between strains of the same species or among the strains of and In both the and reference systems the degrees of cross-reaction between or and the nine other species revealed the following three groups: and which shared 85 to 100% of their antigens with and and which shared 50 to 70% of their antigens with and and and which shared about 30% of their antigens with and Some antigens seemed to be species specific, whereas others seemed to be specific for a group of species within the genus and should be useful for rapid identification of medically important yeasts.
