Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006050343A2] Monoclonal antibodies which can bind to the propeptide of the Int1p protein of yeast microorganisms such as Candida albicans are provided which<I/>can be useful in methods for treating or preventing infections arising from such microorganisms. In particular, monoclonal antibodies are provided which can recognize the epitope located at amino acids 252-260 on the Intl p protein, and such monoclonal antibodies can recognize the propeptide region of Int1 p as well as the complete Int1 p protein. Such antibodies are effective in blocking of the activation of T-lymphocytes, blocking the expansion of T-cells bearing V-beta subsets, such as 2, 3, 14 or others, and blocking the secretion of interferon­gamma, so as to be effective in treating or preventing infection from yeast such as Candida albicans.
