Monoclonal antibody (MAb) 2H1 binds to an epitope in the capsule of Cryptococcus neoformans that can elicit protective antibodies. The binding of MAb 2H1 to C. neoformans strains was studied by agglutination, immunofluorescence, and phagocytosis assays. The MAb 2H1 epitope was present in all 21 isolates studied, including those recovered from patients with recurrent infections.
单克隆抗体(MAb)2H1与新型隐球菌荚膜中的一个表位结合,该表位可引发保护性抗体。通过凝集试验、免疫荧光试验和吞噬作用试验研究了MAb 2H1与新型隐球菌菌株的结合情况。在所研究的全部21株分离菌株中均存在MAb 2H1表位,包括从复发性感染患者体内分离出的菌株。
