Treatment of allergic fungal sinusitis: A comparison trial of postoperative immunotherapy with specific fungal antigens

The Laryngoscope, 1998
AbstractObjective: To determine the effect of immunotherapy (IT) with fungal antigens on clinical outcome in patients with allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS). Study Design: Prospective case control. Methods: In this comparison study, 22 patients meeting the diagnostic criteria of allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) were evaluated after a mean of 33 months ...

The GPI‐anchored Gas and Crh families are fungal antigens

Yeast, 2007
AbstractThe cell wall is the first interface between a fungus and its extracellular environment. Glycosyltransferases involved in the formation and dynamic remodelling of the polysaccharide network of the cell wall have recently been identified. The best characterized ones belong to the Gas family, which elongates β(1,3)‐glucans, and to the Crh family,

Cellular immunity to viral and fungal antigens after stem cell transplantation

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2002
Cellular immunity to viral and fungal antigens is often suppressed after stem cell transplantation. Viral infections, in particular infections with cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus, are often reactivated after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Pathogenetic factors are immune deficiency and T-cell stimulation in the course of graft-versus-host

Fungal vaccines

British Journal of Biomedical Science, 2021
Invasive fungal disease continues to be a cause of significant life-threatening morbidity and mortality in humans, particularly in those with a diminished immune system, such as with haematological malignancies.

A new immunoassay to quantify fungal antigens from the indoor mould Aspergillus versicolor.

Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts, 2013
Aspergillus versicolor is among the most commonly found moulds in moisture-damaged buildings and can be associated with adverse health effects in humans.

The glycoprotein nature and antigenicity of a fungal d-glucosyltransferase

Carbohydrate Research, 1986
D-Glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.24) from Aspergillus niger has been prepared in pure form by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The enzyme transfers D-glucosyl units from maltose and other alpha-linked D-glucosyl oligosaccharides to glucosyl co-substrates resulting in the synthesis of new types of oligosaccharides. The glucosyltransferase has been found

Robust polyfunctional T-helper 1 responses to multiple fungal antigens from a cell population generated using an environmental strain of Aspergillus fumigatus.

Cytotherapy, 2012
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Aspergillus fumigatus infections are the leading cause of invasive fungal infection-related deaths in stem cell transplant patients, and may be amenable to correction with adoptive immunotherapy providing T lymphocytes specific for A.
