Complement and Fc Function Are Required for Optimal Antibody Prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia

Pneumocystis carinii is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes P. carinii pneumonia (PCP) in the immunocompromised host. We investigated the role of antibody Fc-mediated function in passive prophylaxis against the development of PCP in SCID mice. By comparison of anti-mouse P. carinii immunogl...
