A combinatorial library composition and method for using the library to construct oligomers effective to bind to a selected ligand is disclosed. The library composition includes at least two sets of ar oligomer libraries, each library set having selected oligomer subunit positions filled by known subunits, and other subunit positions containing permutations of subunits. In the selection method, oligomers from each library set are identified, and a new permutation library formed of subunits corresponding to the highest binding affinity oligomers in each library is screened for binding affinity to the selected ligand.

Combinational library composition and method

A method of treating Candida albicans infection is disclosed. In one embodiment, for treatment of oral or vaginal infection, the treatment is by topical application of a composition of conjugates that are each composed of a carrier structure and multiple .beta.GalNac(1-4).beta.Gal moieties attached to the structure. In another embodiment, for treatment of systemic infection, the treatment is by parenteral administration of a humanized form of a mouse monoclonal antibody produced by mouse hybridoma cell line Fm16 or cell line PK99H.
