Recognition of laminin by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis conidia : a possible mechanism of adherence to human type II alveolar cells

ABSTRACT: This study addresses the recognition of laminin by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis conidia, as well as its possible role in the adherence of conidia to A549 cells. Adherence of conidia to immobilized laminin was shown to be specific, as antilaminin antibodies, soluble laminin or the laminin-...
