<i>Histoplasma capsulatum</i>manifests preferential invasion of phagocytic subpopulations in murine lungs

Abstract excerpt

Numerous in vitro studies have demonstrated that Histoplasma capsulatum is engulfed by the diverse populations of phagocytic cells including monocytes/macrophages (Mphi), immature dendritic cells (DC), and neutrophils. The in vivo distribution of H. capsulatum has yet to be examined following an intrapulmonary challenge. To accomplish this goal, we engineered GFP into two genetically dissimilar strains of H....
