Assay SystemELISA, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, Adherence assays
Cross-reactivityThis antibody cross reacted with the outer surface of Cryptococcus neoformans serotype A [strain CSF] and a uncapsulated strain 52817
Proposed epitopesN/A
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis Mab unlike other Mabs to Cryptococcus neoformans did not react with glucurunoxylomannan and hence was not specific to the capsular polysaccharide
