Abstract excerpt
Genetic background variation between inbred strains accounts for different levels of susceptibility to Cryptococcus neoformans in the mouse infection model. To elucidate the inheritance of immunophenotypic traits and their associations with clearance outcomes during cryptococcal infection, we compared C57BL/6, BALB/c, and their first-generation hybrid, CB6F1 (F1), mice. Mice from each group were infected with C....
