Does anyone know a way to block non-specific binding of Candida albicans
to plastic? I have tried coating the plastic with albumin, gelatin, and
milk proteins(skim milk) but they don't help. I know the yeast does not
stick to glass but once the glass is exposed to fetal calf serum ( which
it will be in my experiements) the yeast are quite happy to adhere.
Thanks.
