Abstract
Antisera obtained from rabbits immunized with heated cells of Candida curvata or Cryptococcus neoformans are useful for the presumptive identification of Cryptococcus species by means of the slide agglutination method. Furthermore, C. neoformans can be identified serologically by combined use of two absorbed sera, e.g. C. neoformans antiserum absorbed with heated cells of Candida humicola plus Candida curvata antiserum absorbed with heated cells of C. neoformans .Keywords
