We demonstrated through several immunochemical tests the presence of GP-43 from P. brasiliensis in extracts of cutaneous lesions from Jorge Lobo's disease. This glicoprotein is one of the immunodominant antigens in this species, and is used to identify it. The demonstration of GP-43 tissues infected by the agent of Jorge Lobo's disease is an additional evidence for classifying it in the genera Paracoccidioides, species loboi
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis; Anti-GP-43 Antibodies; Lobo's disease
