Forty-one strains of Cryptococcus neoformans were examined after 3 days growth on a fresh and aged medium at pH 5 & pH 7 for comparison of capsule formation. Over one-half of the strains did not form visible capsules on aged medium at pH 5. Serotypes and source of isolation did not correlate with ab

## Three pseudohyphal isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans were inoculated intracranially into mice. Four weeks postinoculation the animals showed no symptoms of disease and the number of viable cells per brain decreased to Zero. Possible roles of pseudohyphal forms of C. neoforroans in the immunol
## Abstract We have identified a number of ecto‐glycanases (glycosylhydrolases) associated with the capsule and/or the cell wall of __Cryptococcus neoformans__. The enzyme activities detected included __α__ ‐mannosidase, __α__ ‐, and __β__ ‐glucosidase, __α__ ‐, and __β__ ‐galactosidase, __β__ ‐xyl
Synthetic polyanions have been shown to alter host resistance to infection. The anticryptococcal effect of pyran copolymer was assessed in vivo and in vitro. Pretreatment with pyran copolymer significantly extended mean survival in mice lethally infected with Cryptococcus neoformans when compared to
