ABSTRACT:
Antibodies to various fungal antigens are disclosed, including monoclonal antibody 9B4 that selectively binds an antigen ofStachybotrys chartarumspores not found inStachybotrys chartarummycelium. The antibodies may be used in a variety of methods, such as detecting the presence of fungal antigens in the environment or within a sample obtained from an animal or plant, or testing the effectiveness of an agent in binding an antigen.
