The effect of culture media, temperature of incubation, and continuous shaking of cultures, on the reactivity and yield of antigens of Aspergillus fumigatus were evaluated. It was found that AOAC medium was superior to Czapek medium and shake cultures yielded better results than stationary cultures. However, antigens from stationary cultures in AOAC medium incubated at 30 degrees C for 3 weeks were equally as good as antigens obtained from 2-week-old shake cultures. Antigens from 11 selected strains of Aspergillus fumigatus were used to test antibody activity in 33 sera from patients with various forms of aspergillosis and 35 normal controls by the agar gel double-diffusion method. The results showed that the reactivity of individual antigens varied from 42 to 87%, indicating that antigens from more than one strain of Aspergillus fumigatus may be used. The cross-reactivity between strains were studied by two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis. The use of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and crossed immunoelectrophoresis in the quality assurance of Aspergillus antigens is discussed.
