Synthesis of a hexasaccharide fragment of the O-deacetylated GXM of C. neoformans serotype B [PDF]
Carbohydrate Research, 2004 beta-D-Xylp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Manp-(1-->3)-[beta-D-Xylp-(1-->2)]-alpha-D-Manp-(1-->3)-[beta-D-Xylp-(1-->2)]-alpha-D-Manp, the fragment of the exopolysaccharide from Cryptococcus neoformans serovar B, was synthesized as its methyl glycoside. Thus, acetylation of allyl 3-O-benzoyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-D-mannopyranoside (1) followed by debenzylidenation ...

Macropinocytosis as a potential mechanism driving neurotropism of Cryptococcus neoformans
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Cryptococcus neoformans can invade the central nervous system by crossing the blood-brain barrier via a transcellular mechanism that relies on multiple host factors. In this narrative, we review the evidence that a direct interplay between C.

Cryptococcus neoformans modulates extracellular killing by neutrophils
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 We recently established a key role for host sphingomyelin synthase (SMS) in the regulation of the killing activity of neutrophils against Cryptococcus neoformans. In this work, we studied the effect of C. neoformans on the killing activity of neutrophils
