Conclusion: Our preliminary results showed that Th1 response produced by<br />

strain S. schenckii 15383 infection, wasn‟t enough to cure the mice, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

less virulent strain induce a mixed Th1/Th2 response. The evaluation <strong>of</strong> spleen<br />

fungal burden suggest that strain 15383 has a tendency to become chronic <strong>and</strong><br />

strain 1099-18 to move towards healing. From the result <strong>of</strong> Western blot, can be<br />

suggested that the protein with approximately 70kDa from strain 15383<br />

exoantigens, is the most immunoreactive protein.<br />
