Abstract
Yeast killer toxin cell wall receptors of Candida albicans were observed by indirect immunofluorescence using an affinity purified rabbit anti-idiotypic antiserum. The antiserum had been raised against a monoclonal antibody neutralizing the in vitro activity of a killer toxin produced by a selected strain of Hansenula anomala UCSC 25F. This simple procedure permitted the location of killer toxin cell wall receptors in various morphological phases of the yeast cells. The use of the indirect immunofluorescence technique with anti-idiotypic antibodies may have potential value in determining the occurrence of killer toxin receptors in other microbial systems.
