Immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated that laminin bound to the surface of Penicillium marneffei conidia. Attachment of P. marneffei conidia in an adherence assay was inhibited by soluble laminin and anti-laminin antibody. N-Acetylneuraminic acid abolished adherence, indicating an interaction mediated by a sialic acid-specific lectin.
