FITC Anti-Candida albicans antibody (ab21164)

Per the lab ab20005 does stain C. albicans cells, but usually the FITC version (ab21164) is used. The biotin version should still work well when used with Streptavidin-FITC instead of a secondary FITC-labelled antibody, and using biotin-streptavidin should give you some signal amplification.

The lab recommends a suspension of the culture be dried down at room temperature on the slide. Then a 1:200-1:500 dilution of the antibody applied or thirty minutes at room temperature and washed. The appropriate dilution of the secondary-FITC reagent (as recommended by the manufacturer) is applied for thirty minutes at room temperature. Finally the slide is washed again and mounting medium + coverslip is applied for viewing.

If you need the Streptavidin-FITC conjugate, we sell this under catalog number ab136201.

Catalog #s ab2005 and ab21164 are polyclonal antibodies and therefore will recognize multiple epitopes on multiple proteins. The immunogen was a lysate of Candida albicans. Most of the immunogen proteins were cytoplasmic, but the antibody has been shown to stain intact organisms fixed on slides.


If you are interested, I am happy to offer a testing discount in which you would purchase ab20005 and/or ab21164 and test in FC. Then, submit your results in the form of an Abreview. You would then have a discount for a free antibody on a future order (1 discount code per antibody tested and reviewed). Please let me know if you would be interested.


I look forward to your reply so that I may assist you further. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions.

Thank you for your email. The only non-conjugated Candida albicans antibody that we have is ab23368 (Mouse monoclonal [6401] to Candida albicans). We don't have an unconjugated polyclonal antibody. For ab20005, ab20028 and ab21164, the antibodies will cross-react with yeasts other than Candida. Ab23368 reacts with Candida albicans and hasn't been tested in other species. The procedure used to prepare the soluble extract is considered proprietary. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions.
