Abstract

Immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG1 monoclonal antibody isotype switch variants to Cryptococcus neoformans capsular polysaccharide were used to study the sensitivity of a double sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The most sensitive ELISA configurations used IgG1 monoclonal antibody absorbed on polystyrene plates or IgM immobilized with goat antisera for antigen capture.
