Abstract:
Objective To study the protective effect of mon oclonal antibodies(McAb)against Can-dida albicans in systemic candidiasis.Methods Monoclonal antibody was produced wi th hybridoma technique.The effect of McAb on experimental mo use systemic candidiasis was observ ed,expecially on the following as-pects:the survival time of mice,colony forming unit(CFU)of Candida albicans and the histopathologic changes.Results Three types of McAb against the cell w all antigen of Candida albicans were generated,which were designated as 1B5,3E8and 4C7.P rolonged survival time,decreased C FU of Candida albicans in kid-neys,liver and brain,and alleviate d histopathologic changes could be s een in experimental mice treated wit h McAb 1B5and 3E8.McAb 1B5could recog nize a cell wall component of Candida albicans(MW:32000),and inhibit the adherence of Candida albicans to human buccal epithelial cells and umbilical vein endothelial cells.Conclusion McAbs 1B5and 3E8,are the protective monoclonal antibodies against Candida albicans,which inhibit the adherence of Candida albicans to epithelial cells and endothelial cells,thus reducing the invasiveness of the pathogen.
