RNA interference in Histoplasma capsulatum demonstrates a role for α‐(1,3)‐glucan in virulence
21 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
Histoplasma capsulatum is a fungal pathogen that causes respiratory and systemic disease by proliferating within macrophages. While much is known about histoplasmosis, only a single virulence factor has been defined, in part because of the inefficiency of Histoplasma reverse genetics. As an alternative to allelic replacement, we have developed a telomeric plasmid-based system for silencing gene expression in...
