New data concerning the immunobiological properties of geophilic dermatophytes

  • Published:
Mycopathologia et mycologia applicata Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The authors immunized 31 rabbits against 7 geophilic species of dermatophytes and verified the complement fixing properties and the specific hemagglutination of the sera collected from the immunized animals. All the sera showed more or less specific immunobiological properties. The highest antigenic value was found inTrichophyton terrestre and inT. evolceanui. Considering the immunobiological properties of geophilic dermatophytes the authors conclude that these fungi are relatives of common dermatophytes.

Résumé

Les auteurs ont immersé 31 lapins avec les trichophytines obtenues de 7 espèces de dermatophytes géophiles. Tous les animaux immunisés ont présenté une réaction de fixation du complément et une réaction d'hemagglutination plus ou moins spécifique envers les extraits de ces dermatophytes. La plus haute valeur antigénique a été constatée chezTrichophyton terrestre et chezT. evolceanui. Vu les propriétés immunobiologiques des dermatophytes géophiles, ces champignons seraient, selon les auteurs, proches aux dermatophytes communs.
