Cross-reactivity between antigens of Coccidioides immitis, Histoplasma capsulatum and Blastomyces dermatitidis in lymphocyte transformation assays.
The cross-reactivity of four Coccidioides antigens, three Histoplasma antigens, and two Blastomyces antigens were determined in lymphocyte transformation assays of 11 coccidioidin-reactive, histoplasmin-nonreactive subjects (group I), 13 coccidioidin-nonreactive, histoplasmin-reactive persons (group II), and 13 subjects who were skin test negative to both antigens (group III). Mycelial and yeas...
متن کاملAdaptation to macrophage killing by Talaromyces marneffei
Talaromyces (Penicillium) marneffei is an important opportunistic fungal pathogen. It causes disseminated infection in immunocompromised patients especially in Southeast Asian countries. The pathogenicity of T. marneffei depends on the ability of the fungus to survive the killing process and replicate inside the macrophage. Major stresses inside the phagosome of macrophages are heat, oxidative ...
متن کاملCryptococcal glucoxylomannan does not exhibit cross-reactivity in the MVista Histoplasma antigen enzyme immunoassay.
The potential for cross-reaction between Cryptococcus neoformans and Histoplasma capsulatum in antigen assays was evaluated. We tested patient samples, spleens from infected mice, and purified polysaccharides in the MVista Histoplasma antigen enzyme immunoassay and cryptococcal antigen latex agglutination system for cross-reactivity, and none was observed.
متن کاملMp1p Is a Virulence Factor in Talaromyces (Penicillium) marneffei
BACKGROUND Talaromyces marneffei is an opportunistic dimorphic fungus prevalent in Southeast Asia. We previously demonstrated that Mp1p is an immunogenic surface and secretory mannoprotein of T. marneffei. Since Mp1p is a surface protein that can generate protective immunity, we hypothesized that Mp1p and/or its homologs are virulence factors. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We examined the pa...
متن کاملClinical features of three patients with paradoxical immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome associated with Talaromyces marneffei infection
Talaromyces marneffei infection is a major cause of death in HIV-infected individuals in South and Southeast Asia. Talaromycosis immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome has not been well described. Here we report the clinical features, management, and outcomes of three HIV-infected patients with talaromycosis-associated paradoxical immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in Ho Chi Minh ...
