In vitro inhibition of adhesion of Candida albicans clinical isolates to human buccal epithelial cells Fuc alpha 1 arrow right 2Gal beta -bearing complex carbohydrates

The role of cell surface glycoconjugates as possible adhesion receptors for Candida albicans yeasts on human buccal epithelial cells was investigated by using a quantitative radiometric assay involving super(14)C-metabolically labeled microorganisms. Comparisons were also made with various molecular...

Description
Summary:The role of cell surface glycoconjugates as possible adhesion receptors for Candida albicans yeasts on human buccal epithelial cells was investigated by using a quantitative radiometric assay involving super(14)C-metabolically labeled microorganisms. Comparisons were also made with various molecular species previously proposed to act as adhesion molecules.
