Polymorphism in the Gene Coding for the Immunodominant Antigen gp43 from the Pathogenic Fungus <i>Paracoccidioides brasiliensis</i>
1 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
The gp43 glycoprotein is an immune-dominant antigen in patients with paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). It is protective against murine PCM and is a putative virulence factor. The gp43 gene of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis B-339 is located in a 1,329-bp DNA fragment that includes two exons, a 78-bp intron, and a leader peptide-coding region of 105 bp. Polymorphism in gp43 has been suggested by the occurrence, in the...
