Moulds are able to produce extracellular polysaccharide antigens which are heat-stable and almost genus specific. Of 44 different strains of Penicillium 41 (93%) and all 12 strains of Aspergillus tested produced detectable quantities of an immunologically related antigen. Additionally 10 of these 56 strains produced an antigen immunologically related to the antigen produced by the genera Mucor and Fusarium. Immunologically different, but genus-specific antigens were produced by each of the species belonging to the genus Geotrichum, Fusarium, Cladosporium, Mucor and Rhizopus. The antigens produced by Mucor and Rhizopus, however, were immunologically related.
霉菌能够产生细胞外多糖抗原，这些抗原具有热稳定性且几乎是属特异性的。在44种不同的青霉菌株中，有41种（93%）以及所有测试的12种曲霉菌株都产生了可检测量的免疫相关抗原。此外，这56种菌株中有10种产生了与毛霉属和镰刀菌属产生的抗原免疫相关的抗原。地霉属、镰刀菌属、枝孢属、毛霉属和根霉属的每个物种都产生免疫不同但属特异性的抗原。然而，毛霉属和根霉属产生的抗原在免疫上是相关的。
