Abstract
An 88-kDa component secreted in vitro by Aspergillus fumigatus has bee n purified by sequential chromatographic procedures. The molecule is a glycoprotein with an N-linked sugar moiety composed of mannose glucos e, and galactose (16:10:1). It is recognized by antibodies from patien ts with aspergilloma and has potential for the immunodiagnosis of aspe rgilloma. The antigenicity is associated with the polypeptide part of the molecule (79 kDa).
