Genetic organization and sequence analysis of the hypha-specific cell wall protein geneHWP1 ofCandida albicans
1 May 1998
Abstract excerpt
A previously isolated partial cDNA encoding a cell wall protein antigen found on hyphal surfaces of the opportunistic fungal pathogen, Candida albicans (Staab et al., 1996) was used to clone the complete hyphal wall protein 1 gene (HWP1). Hyphal forms of C. albicans invade mucosal surfaces of immunocompromised patients such as those with AIDS. HWP1 consisted of an open reading frame predicting an acidic protein...
