| antigens of aspergillus fumigatus. 1. purification of a cytoplasmic antigen reactive with sera of patients with aspergillus-related disease. | an antigen has been purified from the mycelial cell sap of aspergillus fumigatus (strain 507). the same component appears to be present in the extracellular phase (culture filtrate) in a partially degraded form. the cell sap protein has a structure composed of four polypeptides of 45,000 daltons linked through disulphide bonds. the isoelectric point (5.2-5.6) and carbohydrate content (12.5% neutral hexose) indicate that this protein is an acidic glycoprotein. it shows reactions with 75% of sera ... | 1981 | 7039876 |
| uncommon causes of peritonitis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. | in five patients, peritonitis caused by uncommon agents was acquired during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. three patients had yeast (two candida albicans, one c parapsilosis), one aspergillus fumigatus, and one nocardia asteroides infections. a review of the literature indicates that yeasts are the most common cause of peritoneal dialysis-associated fungal peritonitis; only one other possible case of aspergillus sp and no nocardia infections have been proved, to our knowledge. observ ... | 1981 | 7004371 |
| prevalence of precipitating antibodies to different extracts of aspergillus fumigatus in a north american asthmatic population. | this study was carried out to find the prevalence of precipitin reactions in the sera of 200 north american asthmatic subjects. precipitins were detected by the double diffusion technique using different extracts of aspergillus fumigatus, including a reference 'home produced' extract and five commercial extracts from three different suppliers. in addition, antigenicity of these extracts was assessed by crossed immunoelectrophoresis (xie). of the sera, 13.5% reacted to the reference extract and f ... | 1981 | 7028313 |
| factors influencing the production of cellulase by aspergillus fumigatus (fresenius). | during growth in liquid culture containing a single cellulosic or non-cellulosic carbon source, a newly isolated strain of aspergillus fumigatus released cellulases into the medium; the amounts produced depended on the nitrogen source, the type and concentration of the carbon source, ph and temperature. extracellular cellulolytic activity was still increasing after incubation for 60 d with 1% (w/v) cf11 cellulose, (nh4)2so4 as nitrogen source and a starting ph of 7. the activities of the new iso ... | 1981 | 7038036 |

| comparison of aspergillus fumigatus and aspergillus umbrosus antigens in serological tests of farmer's lung. | a comparison was made between aspergillus fumigatus and a. umbrosus antigens regarding their usefulness in serological tests of farmer's lung. mycelial and culture fluid antigens of both microbes were used to test sera of 30 finnish farmer's lung patients for antibodies in the elisa and in the gel precipitation (gp) test. antibodies to a. umbrosus were more common than to a. fumigatus; this was especially evident in elisa, elisa gave more positive results with all four antigens than gp. mycelial ... | 1982 | 6812448 |
| rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for aspergillus fumigatus antibodies. | a rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) where component incubation periods were shortened to one hour, was compared with agar gel double diffusion (agdd) and a standard elisa procedure for detecting antibodies to aspergillus fumigatus in 28 asthmatic patients with suspected allergic aspergillosis. using two a fumigatus antigens the rapid elisa compared well with agdd and the standard elisa method. eleven sera that reacted with both antigens in agdd were all positive against antigen 1 i ... | 1982 | 6813358 |
| serology of aspergillus granuloma. | a total of 21 cases of granuloma caused by aspergillus species were encountered during the period 1972-79. the organs involved were nasal and paranasal sinuses, brain, orbit, subcutaneous tissue of check, lungs and endocardial valve in the decreasing order of their frequency. aspergillus flavus was the main etiological agent. immunodiffusion tests with various aspergillus species as antigen showed a positively of 17 out of 18 (94.4 per cent) cases. the role of precipitins in diagnosis and progno ... | 1982 | 6813743 |
| serum antibodies to aspergillus fumigatus in patients with pulmonary aspergillosis detected by immunofluorescence. | aspergillus antibodies of the igg, iga and igm class were determined by the indirect immunofluorescence (iif) technique in sera from 11 patients with proven pulmonary aspergillosis (group i), 11 patients with suspected pulmonary aspergillosis (group ii), 34 patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (group iii), 29 patients with lung infiltrates of non-fungal aetiology (group iv), and 94 blood donors (group v). the antigen was cryostate sections of formaldehyde fixed mycelium. igg antibody t ... | 1982 | 6814182 |
| rapid serological diagnosis of aspergillus fumigatus infection of the frontal sinuses and nasal chambers of the dog. | aspergillus fumigatus precipitins in dog sera were detected by counterimmunoelectrophoresis (cie). the procedure gave results within 90 minutes compared with 72 to 96 hours required in agar-gel double diffusion. culture-filtrate antigens from two-week-old cultures of a fumigatus and two-day-old mycelial antigens produced the strongest reactions in cie tests and the former antigen also revealed high titres in tests with serum from seven of 14 dogs with a fumigatus precipitins. serum from these 14 ... | 1982 | 6815743 |
| extracellularly proteolysing aspergillus fumigatus and its interaction with specific immune serum in the serum-albumin agar. a preliminary report. | serum-albumin agar with the initial ph values of 5.0 or 7.0 allows diffusion and precipitation of a. fumigatus antigens (culture filtrate) and antibodies. in the zone of extracellular proteolysis by a living culture of an atypical a. fumigatus strain, precipitin bands only against a specific immune serum were found in this medium with an initial ph of 7.0. how far under such complex substrate conditions including active extracellular proteolysis, an immune reaction can take place is open to disc ... | 1982 | 6819740 |
| aspergillosis of the nose and paranasal sinuses. | aspergillosis is becoming an increasingly recognized pathogen in the sinonasal tract. the courses of two patients, one seemingly healthy and one with a terminal malignancy, are reviewed. these patients illustrate the clinical course, difficulties in diagnosis, and management of patients with aspergillosis of the sinonasal tract. aspergillus is a common endogenous contaminant of the upper respiratory tract; however, bacterial sinusitis may trigger its growth and proliferation. aspergillus fumigat ... | 1982 | 6953293 |
| aspergillosis mycetoma of the maxillary antrum. | aspergillus is a fungus, usually found growing as one of the many moulds of fruit, foods and nuts. this paper deals with a ball of fungus growing in the maxillary antrum of an elderly female patient presenting as a radio-opaque expansile mass. in man, aspergillus fumigatus and aspergillus flavis have both been incriminated as pathogenic species in the para nasal sinuses. spores of aspergilli become mixed with dust and can enter the ear, nose and lungs. if conditions are favourable, growth will e ... | 1982 | 6961938 |

| oxiconazole, a new imidazole derivative. evaluation of antifungal activity in vitro and in vivo. | the new imidazole derivative z-[2,4-dichloro-2-imidazol-1-yl)acetophenone]-o-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-oxime nitrate (oxiconazole, ro 13-8996) is characterized by a broad fungistatic spectrum against the agents of human mycoses in vitro. in addition, fungicidal activity of various degree was found in selected species (aspergillus fumigatus, cryptococcus neoformans, candida albicans and trichophyton mentagrophytes). synthesis of dna was inhibited by subinhibitory concentrations of oxiconazole in paral ... | 1982 | 7037014 |
| comparative ocular pathogenicity of cryptococcus neoformans, candida glabrata, and aspergillus fumigatus in the rabbit. | in a previous study, 88% of rabbits with disseminated infection caused by candida albicans developed ophthalmoscopically visible, hematogenous endophthalmitis (chorioretinitis) over a 2 week period. to determine the incidence of this ocular complication in disseminated infection caused by cryptococcus neoformans, candida glabrata, and aspergillus fumigatus compared with that caused by c. albicans, the first three species of fungi were injected intravenously (between 10(5) and 10(9) organisms per ... | 1982 | 7037676 |
| selective protection against conidia by mononuclear and against mycelia by polymorphonuclear phagocytes in resistance to aspergillus. observations on these two lines of defense in vivo and in vitro with human and mouse phagocytes. | by comparing natural immunity to aspergillus fumigatus (af) in vivo with the action of human or mouse phagocytes against af in vitro, we delineated two sequential lines of defense against af. the first line of defense was formed by macrophages and directed against spores. macrophages prevented germination and killed spores in vitro and rapidly eradicated conidia in vivo, even in neutropenic and athymic mice. the second was the neutrophilic granulocyte (pmn), which protected against the hyphal fo ... | 1982 | 7037853 |
| application of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) in diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. | ige and igg antibodies against af were measured by elisa in sera from 15 patients with abpa and compared with antibody levels in six patients with extrinsic asthma and immediate-type skin reactivity to af (prick skin test 3+ or 4+) but no other evidence for abpa. the assay used polyvinyl microhemagglutination plates as a solid phase to adsorb antigens of af and a double-antibody system of class-specific anti-human globulin and alkaline phosphatase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit globulin. ige-af and ... | 1982 | 7038011 |
| an indirect immunofluorescence study of antibodies to aspergillus funigatus in sera from children and adults without aspergillosis. | an indirect immunofluorescence (if) method for detection of antibodies of aspergillus fumigatus was developed: it used cryosections of formaldehyde-treated mycelium as antigen. mycelial age was found to be of importance for titer determination, and growth in czapek-dox broth for 48 h at 37 degrees c was considered optimal. fluorescein-conjugated rabbit antisera to human immunoglobulins reacted by direct if with a. fumigatus but this staining could be abolished by absorption of conjugates with ho ... | 1982 | 7038927 |
| hydrolysis of vegetable oils and triglycerides by thermotolerant and zoopathogenic species of aspergillus from nigerian palm produce. | the ability of aspergillus fumigatus fres. and aspergillus nidulans (eidam) wint obtained from nigerian palm produce to degrade vegetable oils and triglycerides and the production and activity of their extracellular lipases were studied. both species readily hydrolysed palm oil and palm kernel oil among others liberating free fatty acids in the process. good growth with mycelia production of both fungi were also recorded on the triglycerides used as sources of carbon at 37 degrees c with the bes ... | 1982 | 7040975 |
| isolation of 80s ribosomes from spores of aspergillus fumigatus and their antigenicity in rabbits. | ribosomes were obtained from spores of aspergillus fumigatus by mechanical disruption and differential centrifugation. the initial preparation (crude ribosomes) contained spore components which appeared to be broken fragments of plasmalemma with or without organelles. purified ribosomes free of membranous material were prepared by gel filtration chromatography on sepharose cl-4b. monomeric 80s ribosomes consisting of 40% protein and 60% rna, and morphologically characteristic of fungal ribosomes ... | 1982 | 7040976 |
| multiple mycotic aneurysms and transverse myelopathy complicating repair of aortic coarctation. | the case of an 18-year-old man with coarctation of the aorta discovered on routine physical examination and subsequently surgically repaired is reported. four months postoperatively, aneurysms developed at the repair site and thrombosis of both femoral arteries was noted. following an attempt to repair the aneurysm and remove the thrombi, the patient became paraplegic; aspergillus fumigatus was found infecting the aorta and femoral vessels. after additional operations and a course of amphoterici ... | 1982 | 7039535 |
| reproducibility of prick skin tests to five allergens. | thirty-five patients had prick skin tests to the common allergens candida albicans. aspergillus fumigatus, grass pollen, horse dander and dermatophagoides pteronyssinus performed on a regular basis from autumn 1973 to autumn 1975. specific ige to the same allergens (except c. albicans) was determined at the time of skin testing for the first five seasons. it was found that the position on the volar aspect of the forearm on which the test was performed did not affect the reaction. there was a sig ... | 1982 | 7039862 |
