## 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

A close correlation was observed between body weight and length of the survival time of mice inoculated intravenously (i.v.)with Cryptococeus neoformans (p < 0.001). An endotoxic substance of C. neoformans (Cr-ET) increased the susceptibility of mice to i.v. infection of C. neoformans only when more
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
