Activation of peritoneal macrophages by concanavalin A or Mycobacterium bovis BCG for fungicidal activity against Blastomyces dermatitidis and effect of specific antibody and complement.

With a new short-term assay, where the reduction of CFUs in the inoculum could be measured, we investigated the killing of the dimorphic fungal pathogen Blastomyces dermatitidis in its yeast phase by murine peritoneal macrophages.
