Comparison of cytoplasmic extracts of eight Candida species and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Crossed-line immunoelectrophoresis of cytoplasmic extracts of eight Candida species and Saccharomyces cerevisiae demonstrated the presence of antigens reactive with a rabbit antiserum to a C. albicans extract in all species except C. glabrata. A previously defined major cytoplasmic antigen of C. albicans was also present in C. tropicalis and C. guilliermondii.
