Abstract excerpt
A murine pulmonary infection with Cryptococcus neoformans (Cne) has been used to determine mechanisms regulating effective T cell-mediated immunity in the lungs. In BALB/c and C.B-17 mice, following intratracheal deposition of Cne, the fungus initially grows rapidly and is then progressively cleared from the lungs. Cne clearance in C.B-17 mice requires CD4 and CD8 T cells, IFN-gamma, and NO. Clearance in congenic...
