Abstract
A Paracoccidioides brasiliensis strain isolated from the faeces of a p enguin from Uruguayan Antartida and a human isolate of P. brasiliensis were compared on the basis of their antigen profiles as well as on th eir serological and immunochemical reactions. By immunodiffusion, both antigenic preparations displayed total immunological identity, mainly regarding the specific P. brasiliensis gp43 component. Both preparati ons reacted similarly with anti-gp43 serum by immunoelectrophoresis. T he same protein/glycoprotein profiles were visualised by SDS-PAGE and the same antigen profiles were detected on Western blotting, when huma n paracoccidioidomycosis sera were used.
