متن کاملDengue antibodies in blood donors
BACKGROUND Dengue is an urban arbovirus whose etiologic agent is a virus of the genus Flavorius with four distinct antigen serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4) that is transmitted to humans through the bite of the mosquito Aedes aegypti. The Campo Mourão region in Brazil is endemic for dengue fever. OBTECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of IgG and IgM antibodie...
متن کاملParacoccidioides brasiliensis Strain IVIC Pb9
The yeastlike form of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis strain IVIC Pb9 reduced the amount of a-1,3-glucan in its cell wall from 45 to 3% when subcultured in vitro for several years. This strain regained its a-1,3-glucan up to 25% of the total cell wall when grown in vivo. A mutant strain of P. brasiliensis Pb9, named IVIC Pbl4O, reported to have 1,3-mannan instead of a-glucan in the cell wall, cou...
متن کاملMolecular chaperones in the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis transcriptome.
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermally dimorphic and a human pathogenic fungus. Our group has partially sequenced its transcriptome and generated a database of mycelial and yeast PbAESTs (P. brasiliensis assembled expressed sequence tags). In the present review we describe the identification of PbAESTs encoding molecular chaperones. These proteins, involved in protein folding and renatura...
متن کاملHydrolytic enzymes in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis--ecological aspects.
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermally dimorphic fungus that causes paracoccidioidomycosis. The yeast form of this pathogen is found in the animal host whereas the mycelial form is recovered from living and non-living organic material. The sole carbon source available in these habitats is represented by polysaccharides from the plant cell wall. Hydrolytic enzymes are necessary to convert ...
