Abstract
Summary
A polysaccharide preparation derived from autoclaved cells of Candida albicans or saline washings of unheated cells has been shown by quantitative immunogolic methods to contain a common antigen shared with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a type-specific Candida polysaccharide antigen. Antiserum obtained from rabbits immunized with heat-killed Candida albicans or Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains considerably more antibody reacting to the common antigen than to the type-specific antigen.
