Abstract:
:Pathogenic and nonpathogenic isolates of Venturia inaequalis were grown in liquid culture. Hyphae were treated with two types of fimbrial antiserum (AU- and AV-1) and examined by immunofluorescent microscopy, in order to establish the distribution of fimbrial epitopes in whole cell mounts. The AV-1 antiserum was specific for the glycoprotein subunits while the AU-antiserum was specific for the protein moieties present on the fimbriae of Mycobotryum violaceum. The use of fimbrial antiserum with immunocytochemistry and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated a clear distinction between pathogenic and nonpathogenic isolates of V. inaequalis, based on the appearance of the fungal cell wall and the distribution of fimbrial epitopes labeled with AV-1 antiserum and immunogold complex. In actively growing hyphae of the pathogenic isolate, characterized by distinct cellular organelles, small vacuoles, and lipid bodies, fimbrial epitopes were concentrated in the fungal cell wall and were present minimally on the outer surface. In contrast, actively growing hyphae of the nonpathogenic isolate of V. inaequalis had extensive fine hair-like protrusions in the fungal cell wall which labeled with the AV-1 antiserum and immunogold. The distribution of fimbrial epitopes in V. inaequalis was highly dependent on the developmental growth stage of the fungal mycelium. Aging mycelia in both the pathogenic and nonpathogenic isolates of V. inaequalis were characterized by a large central vacuole and no label. In the pathogenic and nonpathogenic isolates of V. inaequalis grown in vitro, the distribution of fimbrial glycoprotein epitopes provided a more complex profile than that seen in M. violaceum.
