Abstract
Immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated that laminin bound to the surfac
e of Penicillium marneffei conidia. Attachment of P. marneffei conidia in a
n adherence assay was inhibited by soluble laminin and anti-laminin antibod
y. N-Acetylneuraminic acid abolished adherence, indicating an interaction m
ediated by a sialic acid-specific lectin.
