Correlación entre multitest-CMI in vivo v/s determinación de subpoblaciones de linfocitos T in vitro
Correlation between in vivo multitest-CMI versus peripheral blood T-lymphocytes determination in vitro

Para la evaluación de la inmunidad mediada por células (CMI) existen técnicas de cuantificación y funcionales, por ejemplo el multitest-CMI (MT-CMI). La CMI es función del linfocito T CD4(+) asumiendo la intensidad de la respuesta proporcional al número de LT-CD4(+) circulantes. Se analizaron deter...

Atividade do antígeno de referência do Paracoccidioides brasiliensis em teste de imunidade celular na Paracoccidoidomicose experimental e humana

Recentemente Camargo et al. (1988) padronizaram o exoantígeno do P. brasiliensis obtido de filtrado de culturas leveduriformes da cepa 339 do fungo; esse antígeno tem sido proposto como padräo de referência (AgR) para testes de imunidade humoral na paracoccidioidomicose (PCM). O objetivo principal do...
