Variable gp43 secretion by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis clones obtained by two different culture methods [PDF]
, 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.

Paracoccidioidomycosis vaccine [PDF]
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2012 Paracoccidioidomycosis is a granulomatous pulmonary infection that is generally controlled by chemotherapy. The efficacy of treatment, however, is limited by the status of the host immune response. The inhibition of a Th-2 immunity or the stimulation of Th-1 cytokines generally increases the efficacy of antifungal drugs.
