AI Article Synopsis
- Aphanoascus spp. are fungi that can cause skin infections similar to tinea.
- The study aimed to characterize soluble antigens from four species of Aphanoascus using immunochemical methods.
- Results showed that while there was a general similarity in antigen patterns among the species, distinct differences indicate the presence of species-specific antigens.
Article Abstract
Aphanoascus spp. are keratinophylic fungi occasionally described as etiological agents of tinea-like dermatomycoses. The goal of this work was to immunochemically characterize somatic and metabolic soluble antigens prepared from 4 species of Aphanoascus. Electrophoresis in SDS-PAGE gel and immunoblotting with sera from rabbits experimentally immunized with both somatic and metabolic antigens have shown a similar pattern among the species analyzed. However, some differences were noted between the species of Aphanoascus. These results suggest the existence of species-specific antigens.
