Inhibition of PbGP43 expression may suggest that gp43 is a virulence factor in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Glycoprotein gp43 is an immunodominant diagnostic antigen for paracoccidioidomycosis caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. It is abundantly secreted in isolates such as Pb339. It is structurally related to beta-1,3-exoglucanases, however inactive. Its

Inquérito epidemiológico sobre a paracoccidioidomicose utilizando a gp43 em dois municípios do noroeste do Paraná, Brasil Paracoccidioidomycosis epidemiological survey using gp43, in two cities of northwestern region of Paraná, Brazil [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2005 Foi realizado um inquérito epidemiológico sobre paracoccidioidomicose com gp43, em 118 operários no Noroeste do Paraná. A positividade foi de 43%, o que aliado às condições ambientais favoráveis ao desenvolvimento do fungo reforçam que essa região seja ...

Variable gp43 Secretion by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Clones Obtained by Two Different Culture Methods [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2005 The main objectives of this study were to obtain clones of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis by two methods (micromanipulation and plating assay) and to determine if the secretion of the 43-kDa glycoprotein (gp43) is dependent on the clonal culture.

Paracoccidioides Species Circulating in the Endemic Area of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: Updates into Their Genetic Diversity [PDF]
Journal of FungiParacoccidiodomycosis (PCM) is the most important systemic mycosis in Brazil, and is usually associated with rural work. PCM is caused by inhalation of infective propagules of thermodimorphic fungi from the genus Paracoccidioides.
