The study of the clinical isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans from 83 Brazilian patients with disseminated cryptococcosis showed that 75 were C. neoformans var. neoformans and 8 were var. gattii. Twentyseven isolates were serotyped; all 19 var. neoformans were serotype A and all 8 var. gattii were s
Subpopulations of spleen cells responsible for responsiveness and unresponsiveness to cryptococcal antigen in vitro were identified. Lymphocytes which responded in lymphocyte transformation (LT) assays were nylon wool nonadherent and theta antigen positive. These lymphocytes required the presence of
The present studies utilize an inbred mouse model to evaluate the adoptive transfer of spleen cells to augment immunity against Cryptococcus neoformans. Protection against cryptococcosis was transferred using spleen cells obtained from mice surviving cryptococcosis. These spleen cell donors had no d
