Diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis by dot immunobinding assay for antibody detection using the purified and specific antigen gp43 [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1994 The dot immunobinding assay, a rapid, visually read test, was adapted for serodiagnosis and follow-up of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). Purified gp43 antigen was tested before and after sodium metaperiodate treatment. To evaluate the assay, it was tested with sera from PCM, histoplasmosis, Jorge Lobo's disease, aspergillosis, candidiasis, and ...

Enhancement of height system for Malaysia using space technology: the study of the datum bias inconsistencies in Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]
, 2003 The algorithm for orthometric height transfer using GPS has been widely presented. Its practical limitations are mostly due to datum bias inconsistencies and lack of precise geoid.

Anti-apoptotic effects of decyl gallate on the induction of apoptosis in A549 pneumocytes by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis gp43 [PDF]
Medical Mycology, 2017 Apoptosis is considered an escape mechanism from the host immune system for the fungus Paracoccidioides spp, and it serves as a vehicle for entry into macrophages without stimulating microbicidal activities. Recently, gp43 of P. brasiliensis was demonstrated to be involved in this process.

Expressed sequence tag analysis of the human pathogen Paracoccidioides brasiliensis yeast phase: Identification of putative homologues of Candida albicans virulence and pathogenicity genes [PDF]
, 2003 Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a thermodimorphic fungus, is the causative agent of the prevalent systemic mycosis in Latin America, paracoccidioidomycosis. We present here a survey of expressed genes in the yeast pathogenic phase of P. brasiliensis.

Detection of Circulating gp43 Antigen in Serum, Cerebrospinal Fluid, and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid of Patients with Paracoccidioidomycosis [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2003 ABSTRACT Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is an important systemic fungal disease, particularly among individuals living and working in rural areas of endemicity in Latin America, who, without antifungal therapy, may develop fatal acute or chronic infection. For such patients, the detection of antibody responses by immunodiffusion is
