RESUMO
Paracoccidioidomycosis patients show hyperactive humoral immune responses. Consequently, we investigated whether cytokines in supernatants from Paracoccidioides brasiliensis-stimulated gamma/delta T cells support B-cell activation. We detected proliferation of B cells and increased immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG production. Thus, gamma/delta T cells may participate in polyclonal B-cell activation during paracoccidioidomycosis.
