Strain variation in phagocytosis of Cryptococcus neoformans: dissociation of susceptibility to phagocytosis from activation and binding of opsonic fragments of C3.

Phagocytosis of Cryptococcus neoformans is markedly influenced by the presence of a polysaccharide capsule. We examined activation and binding of C3 fragments to eight isolates of C. neoformans. All isolates were shown to have capsules by light and electron microscopy. These strains differed in susc...
