Automated Analysis of Cryptococcal Macrophage Parasitism Using GFP-Tagged Cryptococci
31 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
The human fungal pathogens Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii cause life-threatening infections of the central nervous system. One of the major characteristics of cryptococcal disease is the ability of the pathogen to parasitise upon phagocytic immune effector cells, a phenomenon that correlates strongly with virulence in rodent models of infection. Despite the importance of phagocyte/Cryptococcus interactions...
