Two polypeptides of 37 and 67 kDa that bind laminin were detected in cell wall extracts of Candida albicans blastoconidia. The 37-kDa species, found only in yeast cell wall extracts, cross-reacted with a rabbit polyclonal antibody (PAb 4160) directed towards the carboxyl-terminal laminin-binding domain present in the human 67-kDa high-affinity laminin receptor (67LR) and its 37-kDa precursor (37LRP), whereas another antibody (PAb 4056), directed against internal domains of 67LR and 37LRP, recognized a 37-kDa species in wall extracts from both blastoconidia and germinated blastoconidia. Indirect immunofluorescence with PAb 4160 showed a patchy binding pattern only on yeast cells that represented about 10% of the entire blastoconidia population.
