Abstract: Provided are methods for identifying surface-exposed epitopes of fungal cell wall proteins, and related peptide antigens, suitable for the development of antifungal antibodies. The methods allow for the detection of surface-exposed epitopes that are particularly highly expressed in drug-resistant fungal pathogens, and in pathogens exposed to antifungal drugs. Also provided are antifungal antibodies which may be derived by these methods. The methods and antibodies find use in the treatment of treating and diagnosing fungal infections, such as candidiasis, aspergillosis cryptococcosis, and Mucormycosis.
