| serotyping of fungal isolates by precipitating monoclonal antibodies. | ascites fluid from hybridoma cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies to an exoantigen of microsporum canis was assayed for its precipitating properties. three types of monoclonal antibodies were used for serological analysis of heterologous mycelial cultures. based on specific antigenic determinants, the fungal strains showed different immunodiffusion reactivity within the species. the monoclonal antibodies also proved to be effective reagents for serotyping heterogeneous species. they may al ... | 1986 | 2425261 |
| cycloheximide enhances factor binding to the native 40s ribosomal subunit of microsporum canis. | native and derived ribosomal particles from the mycelial cells of microsporum canis grown in the presence and absence of cycloheximide were compared by cscl equilibrium density gradient centrifugation. since the buoyant densities of ribonucleoprotein complexes are dependent on the protein-rna ratio, they reflect the composition of these particles. the native monosomes from cells grown in the presence and absence of cycloheximide had a buoyant density of 1.585 g/cc. the native 60s subunits showed ... | 1990 | 2099146 |
