Kaufman, Leo (Communicable Disease Center, Atlanta, Ga.), and Brenda Brandt. Fluorescent-antibody studies of the mycelial form of Histoplasma capsulatum and morphologically similar fungi. J. Bacteriol. 87:120-126. 1964.-Fluorescent-antibody reagents were developed to differentiate the mycelial form of the pathogen, Histoplasma capsulatum, from several morphologically similar but saprophytic species of the genera Sepedonium and Chrysosporium. Cross-staining and adsorption procedures revealed antigenic relationships among certain species of these three genera and other fungi. The significance of these observations to the diagnostician and taxonomist is discussed.
