Recombinant 60-kDa heat shock protein from Paracoccidioides brasiliensis: is it a good antigen for serological diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis?

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and P. lutzii are fungi that cause paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), the most prevalent systemic mycosis in South America. For serological diagnosis, although 43-kDa glycoprotein (gp43) is regarded as highly specific for PCM ...

Nano-Enabled Colorimetric Assay for the Detection of Paracoccidioides lutzii: Advancing Diagnostics with Nanotechnology

Journal of Nanotheranostics
Deforestation is a common occurrence driven by agricultural expansion, urbanization, and infrastructure development. These activities often lead to increased human interaction with ecosystems, potentially exposing individuals to Paracoccidioides spores ...

Characterization of a Paracoccidioides spp. strain from southeastern Brazil genotyped as Paracoccidioides restrepiensis (PS3) and review of this phylogenetic species

Genetics and Molecular Biology
Phylogenetic species of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis complex (S1a and S1b, PS2, PS3, and PS4) and Paracoccidioides lutzii are agents of paracoccidioidomycosis, an endemic fungal disease in Latin America. P. restrepiensis (PS3 genotype) was classified as

Use of immunoblotting assay improves the sensitivity of paracoccidioidomycosis diagnosis

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2008
The purpose of this work was to evaluate two serological assays: double immunodiffusion (DI) and immunoblotting (IB) in immunodiagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM).

Dendritic Cells Primed with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Peptide P10 Are Therapeutic in Immunosuppressed Mice with Paracoccidioidomycosis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is an endemic systemic mycosis in Latin America, with the highest prevalence in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. Fungi of the Paracoccidioides genus are etiologic agents of the disease.

The low efficiency of dendritic cells and macrophages from mice susceptible to Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in inducing a Th1 response

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
In the present study we evaluated T cell proliferation and Th lymphokine patterns in response to gp43 from Paracoccidioides brasiliensis presented by isolated dendritic cells from susceptible and resistant mice.

Characterization of glycoprotein gp43, the major laminin-binding protein of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.

Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas medicas e biologica, 1995
We have demonstrated that laminin mediates the adhesion of P. brasiliensis to monolayers of epithelial cells through specific binding to the surface glycoprotein gp43. This binding seems to be related to the fungal pathogenesis. We now report the confirmation of these findings by scanning electron microscopy and show that some isolates that do not ...

Detection of gp43 and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 Ribosomal RNA Genes of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in Paraffin-embedded Tissue.

Nippon Ishinkin Gakkai Zasshi, 2001
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a deep mycosis caused by the thermo-dependent dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and is prevalent in Latin American countries. An increase in PCM has been reported in recent years and the disease is now recognized as one of the imported fungal infections in Japan.
