Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors influence susceptibility to Paracoccidioidomycosis, a Latin American endemic mycosis. The pattern of susceptibility of congenic mouse strains infected with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis resembles the pattern of the Nramp1 gene. Thus, congenic murine bone-marrow-derived macrophage lines B10R (Nramp1rGly169) and B10S (null Nramp1 protein expression, Nramp1sAsp169) were infected with P. brasiliensis...
