Amniotic fluid samples were tested for specific immunoglobulins against Candida albicans by indirect immunofluorescence. Nineteen of the 23 samples tested contained specific IgA while specific IgG antibodies were detected in only seven samples (P less than 0.01). None of the samples contained specific anticandidal IgM (P less than 0.001). These 23 samples and a further 30 amniotic fluid samples were tested for Candida mannan antigen by latex agglutination. Mannan was not detected in any of the samples tested. It is concluded that anticandidal IgA in amniotic fluid is naturally occurring.
通过间接免疫荧光法检测羊水样本中针对白色念珠菌的特异性免疫球蛋白。在检测的23份样本中，有19份含有特异性IgA，而仅在7份样本中检测到特异性IgG抗体（P<0.01）。所有样本均未含有特异性抗念珠菌IgM（P<0.001）。通过乳胶凝集试验对这23份样本以及另外30份羊水样本进行念珠菌甘露聚糖抗原检测。在所检测的任何样本中均未检测到甘露聚糖。得出结论，羊水中的抗念珠菌IgA是自然产生的。
