The multitude of targets for the immune system and drug therapy in the fungal cell wall - Microbes and Infection, 7, p.789-798, 2005 .

Recent studies on fungi revealed that several cytosolic and membrane components migrate to the cell wall together with secreted proteins and biosynthetic polysaccharides to build a dynamic immunoreactive structure. New aspects of fungal cell wall assembly and biosynthesis, focusing on the potential of glycolipids, melanin, heat-shock proteins, histone and surface antigens as targets of drugs and antifungal antibodies are discussed.
