Hc, Asp, Sp and NHS: representative blots of heterologous sera and normal human sera (15 sera each). (*) = represents P. lutzii gold standard serum. B) Reactivity of sera from patients with PCM due to P. brasiliensis versus P. lutzii-CFA antigen. We could distinguish P. brasiliensis from P. lutzii sera, as only sera from patients with PCM due to P. lutzii recognize antigenic molecules from P. lutzii-CFA. C) Western blot assays showing the reactivity of sera from patients with PCM due to P. brasiliensis versus P. brasiliensis-CFA (strain B339). Gp43 is basically recognized by PCM sera due to P. brasiliensis. D) Reactivity of sera due to P. lutzii versus P. brasiliensis-CFA (strain B339).
