Direct anticryptococcal activity of lymphocytes from Cryptococcus neoformans-immunized mice.

Abstract excerpt

Assessment of the direct anticryptococcal activity of murine lymphocytes from both Cryptococcus neoformans-immunized and control mice was the focus of this investigation. We demonstrate that at a 2:1 effector cell-to-cryptococcal target cell ratio, effector cell populations comprised of alpha beta T-cell receptor-positive T lymphocytes (98 to 99% CD3+) from C. neoformans-immunized mice inhibited the growth of...
