Cryptococcus spp isolated from dust microhabitat in Brazilian libraries [PDF]
Journal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology, 2012 AbstractBackgroundTheCryptococcusspp is currently composed of encapsulated yeasts of cosmopolitan distribution, including the etiological agents of cryptococcosis. The fungus are found mainly in substrates of animal and plant origin. Human infection occurs through inhalation of spores present in the environment.MethodsEighty-four swab collections were ...

Serological Relationships of Cryptococcus spp.: Distribution of Antigenic Factors in Cryptococcus and Intraspecies Diversity [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2000 ABSTRACT The antigenic formulas of 34 species in the genus Cryptococcus were determined by using type strains and eight factor sera prepared from adsorption experiments with Cryptococcus neoformans serotypes. These antigenic factors were shared by 19 species.

GXMR-CAR containing distinct GXM-specific single-chain variable fragment (scFv) mediated the cell activation against Cryptococcus spp. And had difference in the strength of tonic signaling. [PDF]
Bioengineered, 2023 Cryptococcus spp. has a polysaccharide capsule composed of glucuronoxylomannan-GXM, a major virulence factor that can prevent the recognition of fungi by immune cells. Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) redirects T cells to target Cryptococcus spp.

Imaging Cryptococcus spp. Capsule by Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy Using Percoll®.
Bio-protocol, 2019 The most important virulence factor in the Cryptococcus genus is the polysaccharide capsule. This genus includes several species that cause life-threatening invasive disease. An increase in capsule thickness is important during fungal infection. The capsule is usually imaged using India ink, and crucial insights on the dynamics of its growth have been ...
