Abstract
One mating type of the yeast Hansenula wingei possesses a specific protein on its cell surface which is complementary to a specific polysaccharide on the cell surface of the opposite mating type. The initial phase of mating in which cells of opposite types combine is therefore analogous to a reaction between an antibody and a polysaccharide antigen.Entities:
