Examination of the effect of age and acquired immunity on the susceptibility of mice to infection with Aspergillus fumigatus.

abstract：:Using the technique of immunoelectroosmophoresis-immunodiffusion (IEOP-ID), two antigenic fractions of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis one of them species-specific, produced precipitin bands in both the cathodic and anodic zones. Reactions of complete identity among the bands formed in these zones were demonstrated by a...
