a, b, Representative histograms showing A. fumigatus conidia and germlings (cultured for 8 h at 37 °C) (a) and yeasts of C. albicans and S. cerevisiae, and conidia of F. pedrosoi (b) stained with Fc-MelLec or Fc-CLEC12B (ref. 24) (Fc-control) and analysed by flow cytometry. c–e, Representative light microscopy images and immunofluorescence micrographs using Fc-MelLec to detect ligands on A. fumigatus, after conidial swelling and germination over time (c), after treatment with 1 M NaOH (d) and on rodlet-deficient (ΔrodA) conidia (e). Experiments were repeated at least three times independently, with similar results.
