Inbred strains of mice vary in their susceptibility to Coccidioides immitis. We infected resistant DBA/2 (D2) mice and three susceptible strains of mice (C57BL/6 [B6], BALB/c, and CAST/Ei) by intraperitoneal injection of arthroconidia and determined the severity of infection based on colony counts of fungus in the spleens and lungs 14 days after infection. We used quantitative reverse transcription-PCR to measure...
