Summary

An antiserum against Trametes versicolor isolate D4 has been developed. The use of agar-gel double-diffusion tests has revealed at least eight antigenic components in the fungus. Some antigens identical to those of D4 have been detected in other related fungi using both unabsorbed and absorbed antiserum. The overall serological data seem to agree with the conventional classification of these fungi and it is suggested that serological methods may be useful in identifying various Trametes species.

Zusammenfassung

Gegen den Pilz Trametes versicolor (Isolierung D4) wurde ein Antiserum entwickelt. Die Untersuchungen wurden mit der Agar-gel-Doppelt-diffusionsmethode ausgeführt und zeigten zum mindesten acht antigenische Komponenten in den Pilzen. Einige Antigene, die identisch zu denen in D4 sind, wurden in den anderen verwandten Pilzen entdeckt. Es wurden die beiden Arten des antiserums geprüft: das absorbierende und das nichtabsorbierende.

Im ganzen scheinen sich die serologischen Daten mit der konventionellen Klassifizierung zu decken und so wird vorgeschlagen, daß man die serologische Methode gut zur Identifizierung verschiedener Trametes-Gattungen anwenden könnte.
