The serotype-specific polysaccharide was isolated from four to seven strains of each of the four major serotypes of Cryptococcus neoformans. Reactivities of polysaccharides with seven monoclonal antibodies raised against polysaccharides of serotypes A, B, C, and D were assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and double immunodiffusion. The results indicated that there is heterogeneity within all four serotypes in the expression of epitopes reactive with monoclonal antibodies.

Epithelium of the sea anemone Acontiophorum niveum is modified into four general arrangements of microappendages: (1) uniform microvilli covering pedal disc and column, (2) an interspersion of microvilli, ciliary cones, and kinocilia on tentacles, (3) flagella among an understory of microvilli from the oral disc, actinopharynx, filaments, and acontia, and (4) sparse flagella among irregular microvilli from endoderm. These arrangements are similar to those described previously in the epithelia of other anthozoans.
