Production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), Centro de Estudos de Venenos e Animais Peçonhentos (CEVAP), 2009-01-01)
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, the most prevalent deep mycosis in Latin America. Production of eicosanoids, including prostaglandins and leukotrienes, during fungal infections ...
Growth-promoting factors for yeast cells of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
(1996-12-01)
Low-density seedings of yeast cells of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis give poor growth (as assessed by plating efficiency test) on conventional mycological agar media, and therefore growth-promoting factors for this fungus ...
Induction of apoptosis in A549 pulmonary cells by two Paracoccidioides brasiliensis samples
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 2009-08-01)
Paracoccidioidomycosis presents a variety of clinical manifestations and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis can reach many tissues, most importantly the lungs. The ability of the pathogen to interact with host surface structures ...
Surface-expressed enolase contributes to the adhesion of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis to host cells
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-08-01)
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Understanding the interactions between P.similar to brasiliensis and the host tissue depends on the study of the ...
Comparative transcriptome analysis of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis during in vitro adhesion to type I collagen and fibronectin: identification of potential adhesins
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-04-01)
Paracoccidioidomycosis is caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in regulation of cell adhesion, differentiation, migration and proliferation ...
Human chromosome aberrations induced in vitro by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis glycoproteic component (GP 43)
(1997-04-24)
The in vitro cytogenetic effects of the 43-kDa molecular mass exocellular glycoproteic component (GP 43) from Paracoccidioides brasiliensis were studied in cultures from human lymphocytes. The sample included 10 healthy, ...
A COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF 4 DIFFERENT STAINING METHODS FOR ESTIMATION OF LIVE YEAST FORM CELLS OF PARACOCCIDIOIDES-BRASILIENSIS
(Kluwer Academic Publ, 1993-12-01)
A comparative study of four different staining methods for estimation of live yeast form cells of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis was carried out. The staining methods used were fluorescent staining, vital dye exclusion tests ...
Role of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis cell wall fraction containing beta-glucan in tumor necrosis factor-alpha production by human monocytes: correlation with fungicidal activity
(B I O S Scientific Publishers Ltd, 2002-08-01)
The polysaccharide fraction of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis mycelial cell wall (F1 fraction), the active component of which is composed of beta-glucan, was investigated in regard to the activation of human monocytes for ...
Characterization of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis PbDfg5p, a cell-wall protein implicated in filamentous growth
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2008-02-01)
The dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the causative agent of the most frequent systemic mycosis in Latin America. In humans, infection starts by inhalation of fungal propagules, which reach the pulmonary ...
