✦ Synopsis

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 modification of the technique, employing additional wells around the central antigen well. Such bands would correspond to a simple diffusion of the corresponding antigenic fractions rather than to active electrophoretic migration.
