RESUMO
Monoclonal antibody (MAb) 2H1 binds to an epitope in the capsule of Cryptococcus neoformans that can elicit protective antibodies. The binding of MAb 2H1 to C. neoformans strains was studied by agglutination, immunofluorescence, and phagocytosis assays. The MAb 2H1 epitope was present in all 21 isolates studied, including those recovered from patients with recurrent infections.
