Localization of Melanin in Conidia of<i>Alternaria alternata</i>Using Phage Display Antibodies
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
Melanins derived from 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) are important for the pathogenicity and survival of fungi causing disease in both plants and animals. However, precise information on their location within fungal cell walls is lacking. To obtain antibodies for the immunocytochemical localization of melanin, 83 phage antibodies binding to 1,8-DHN were selected from a naive semisynthetic single-chain Fv (scFv)...
