Cell-free antigens from precocious Paracoccidioides brasiliensis culture induce a typical delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2011
Cell-free antigens (CFAg) derived from Paracoccidioides brasiliensis have typically been used in immunodiffusion reactions for serodiagnosis or therapeutic follow-up of paracoccidioidomycosis patients.

N‐glycan signatures identified in tumor interstitial fluid and serum of breast cancer patients: association with tumor biology and clinical outcome

Molecular Oncology, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 972-990, June 2018., 2018
Using quantitative glycome profiling of breast tumor interstitial fluid and matched serum, we identified N‐glycan pattern that (a) segregates tumor and normal interstitual fluids, (b) correlates with the presence of immune cells within tumor, (c) can be predictive for overall survival outcome of patients with breast cancer, and (d) can be detected in ...

New developments of RNAi in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis: prospects for high-throughput, genome-wide, functional genomics. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
The Fungal Genome Initiative of the Broad Institute, in partnership with the Paracoccidioides research community, has recently sequenced the genome of representative isolates of this human-pathogen dimorphic fungus: Pb18 (S1), Pb03 (PS2) and Pb01.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Paracoccidioidomycosis in the Maxillofacial Region: A Report of 5 Cases

Case Reports in Otolaryngology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection initially described in Brazil in 1908 by Adolfo Lutz. Manifestation of this disease depends on numerous factors, such as microorganism virulence, hormonal profile, genetic predisposition, nutrition, and immune system.

Polymorphism in the flanking regions of the PbGP43 gene from the human pathogen Paracoccidioides brasiliensis: search for protein binding sequences and poly(A) cleavage sites

BMC Microbiology, 2009
Background Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermo-dimorphic fungus that causes paracoccidiodomycosis (PCM). Glycoprotein gp43 is the fungal main diagnostic antigen, which can also protect against murine PCM and interact with extracellular matrix ...

Cancer Immunotherapy: Priming the Host Immune Response with Live Attenuated Salmonella enterica

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
In recent years, cancer immunotherapy has undergone great advances because of our understanding of the immune response and the mechanisms through which tumor cells evade it. A century after the first immunotherapy attempt based on bacterial products described by William Coley, the use of live attenuated bacterial vectors has become a promising ...

Paracoccidioides cerebriformis Moore, 1935. MYCOLOGIC AND IMMUNOCHEMICAL STUDY

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1997
The present study concern on mycologic and immunochemical data obtained from two samples of a fungus considered as belonging to the species Paracoccidioides cerebriformis described by Moore in 1935, and maintained since then on Sabouraud’s agar in the ...

Paracoccidioides Spp.: Virulence Factors and Immune‐Evasion Strategies

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Paracoccidioides spp. are dimorphic fungal pathogens responsible for one of the most relevant systemic mycoses in Latin America, paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). Their exact ecological niche remains unknown; however, they have been isolated from soil samples and armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus), which have been proposed as animal reservoir for these ...

Antifungal Resistance, Metabolic Routes as Drug Targets, and New Antifungal Agents: An Overview about Endemic Dimorphic Fungi

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Diseases caused by fungi can occur in healthy people, but immunocompromised patients are the major risk group for invasive fungal infections. Cases of fungal resistance and the difficulty of treatment make fungal infections a public health problem.

Structural analysis of bacteriophage T4 DNA replication: a review in the Virology Journal series on bacteriophage T4 and its relatives

Virology Journal, 2010
The bacteriophage T4 encodes 10 proteins, known collectively as the replisome, that are responsible for the replication of the phage genome. The replisomal proteins can be subdivided into three activities; the replicase, responsible for duplicating DNA ...
