Structural basis of Blastomyces Endoglucanase-2 adjuvancy in anti-fungal and -viral immunity.
, 2021 The development of safe subunit vaccines requires adjuvants that augment immunogenicity of non-replicating protein-based antigens. Current vaccines against infectious diseases preferentially induce protective antibodies driven by adjuvants such as alum ...

Use of Urine Antigen Testing for Blastomyces in an Integrated Health System
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews, 2018 Purpose: Blastomycosis, an endemic fungal infection, mimics many other diseases. We explored the use of Blastomyces urine antigen (BuAg), reportedly the most sensitive noninvasive test, in clinical practice and compared it to other noninvasive tests ...

Blastomyces dermatitidis in a renal transplant recipient
Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2014 Fungal pathogens can be the source of serious and sometimes fatal infections following organ transplantation. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first case of cutaneous blastomycosis in a renal allograft recipient in India, a country outside ...

Ribosomal RNA gene sequencing for early diagnosis of Blastomyces dermatitidis infection
, 2015 Prompt detection and identification of fungal pathogens at the genus and species level is critical in order to provide timely antifungal therapy. Here, we highlight the vital role of molecular diagnostics in achieving a fast and definitive diagnosis of ...

A deadly dimorph: what you need to know about Blastomyces spp. [PDF]
, 2019 Maxx had just returned from spending a holiday weekend at a camp near Geraldton, Ontario when his owners noticed he just “wasn’t himself.” He began coughing and then “started licking his paws a lot.” When his paws began to bleed, that was enough for Maxx

Neutrophil extracellular trap-formation following Blastomyces dermatitidis yeast stimulation
, 2016 Blastomycosis, a potentially fatal infection results from an infection developing from a thermo-dimorphic fungal pathogen Blastomyces dermatitidis. The pivotal points driving the pathogenesis associated with the varied clinical presentations are not ...

Neutrophils with DC characteristics (PMN-DCs) emerge during pulmonary blastomycosis.
, 2018 (A) Neutrophil gating strategy showing representative lung sample 7 dpi with Blastomyces. (B) Canonical neutrophils (CD11b+, Ly6G+, Ly6Cint, CD11c-), PMN-DCs (CD11b+, Ly6G+, Ly6Cint, CD11c+), and MoDCs (CD11b+, Ly6G-, Ly6C+, CD11c+) were FACS sorted from
