an enzyme immunoassay for yeast and mycelial phase-specific antibodies in histoplasmosis.the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) has been adapted to detect class-specific antibodies to yeast and mycelial phase (mp) antigens of histoplasma capsulatum. experimental histoplasmosis was produced in rhesus monkeys and humoral immune responses were measured by elisa and complement-fixation (cf) tests. antibodies to the yeast phase (yp) reached a peak after 7 weeks and gradually declined thereafter, while mp antibodies continued to increase even after 4 months. comparison of the 2 tes ...19826177791
antigens from histoplasma capsulatum and blastomyces dermatitidis. i. immunological comparative studies from polysaccharide-protein complexes of both fungi.certain groups of fungi share chemical structures which makes difficult isolation and differentiation of specific antigens by the usual methods of extraction and purification. therefore, we have oriented our studies to the immunological and biochemical characterization of differences and similarities of molecular structures from fungi, etiologic agents of systemic mycoses, hoping to establish criteria for the utilization and handling of these antigens. a deproteinized polysaccharide-protein comp ...19826178974
acid-fastness of fungi in blastomycosis and histoplasmosis.in 60% of the infections caused by blastomyces dermatitidis and in 47% of the infections caused by histoplasma capsulatum, some of the organisms are acid-fast in tissue sections. treatment with 1n hydrochloric acid at 60 degrees c abolishes the acid-fastness of h capsulatum, which indicates that the acid-fastness may be related to mycolic acid. organisms of b dermatitidis, however, remain acid-fast in 83% of the sections treated with acid. the presence of acid-fastness in small cells can aid in ...19826180697
immunoregulation in disseminated histoplasmosis: characterization of the surface phenotype of splenic suppressor t lymphocytes.c57bl/6 and c3h/hej mice were infected intravenously with 6 x 10(5) yeast-phase histoplasma capsulatum organisms. after 1 week, splenocytes from both mouse strains showed diminished antibody responses to sheep erythrocytes in vitro; these cells also were able to suppress the response of normal syngeneic cells. passage of splenocytes from infected mice through a nylon wool column yielded a population enriched for t cells that exerted suppressor activity, although to a smaller extent than did unfr ...19826182106
