Effect of glutaraldehyde fixation on cell surface binding capacity of Candida albicans.

RESUMO
The ability of viable and glutaraldehyde-fixed, stationary-phase yeast cells of Candida albicans to bind concanavalin A and monospecific antiserum for antigenic factor 1 was examined. Both fluorescence flow cytometric analysis and transmission electron microscopy indicated that glutaraldehyde-fixed cells bound less of the two reagents than did unfixed viable cells.
