ABSTRACT

In previous articles, we reported the presence of phosphate-bound beta-1,2-linked oligomannosyl residues in the mannans of strains of Candida albicans serotypes A and B and Candida stellatoidea. To identify the antigenic factor corresponding to this type of oligomannosyl residue, a relationship between chemical structure and antigenic specificity in the mannans of C. albicans NIH B-792 (serotype B, B-strain) and C. albicans J-1012 (serotype A, J-strain) was investigated by using a combination of two-dimensional 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of H-1, H-2, and H-5 regions in the mannans and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay that employed concanavalin A-coated microtiter plates. It was shown in the present 1H nuclear magnetic resonance study that an examination of chemical shifts not only in the H-1 region but also in the H-5 region was useful for the quantitative determination of the phosphate-bound beta-1,2-linked oligomannosyl residues. In the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using concanavalin A-coated plates, it was revealed that, of factor sera 1, 4, and 5, only factor serum 5 showed a reactivity proportional to the densities of the beta-1,2-linked oligomannosyl residues of the mannan subfractions of different phosphate contents that had been prepared from the bulk B-strain mannan by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography. The above results indicate that the phosphate-bound beta-1,2-linked oligomannosyl residues, Manp beta 1----(2Manp beta 1----)n2Man (n = 0-5), correspond to antigenic factor 5.
