Abstract excerpt
Resistance to dermatophyte infections has been shown to be mediated in part by T lymphocytes. The dermatophyte antigens recognized by human T lymphocytes and their degree of cross-reactivity were analyzed. Dermatophyte-responsive T-cell lines were generated by in vitro sensitization to crude fungal extracts obtained from Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton tonsurans, Microsporum canis and Epidermophyton floccosum....
