Melanisation of Cryptococcus neoformans in human brain tissue.

J D Nosanchuk, A L Rosas, S C Lee, A Casadevall.

Abstract

Melanin-specific reagents revealed melanin in cryptococcal cell walls from human brain tissue, and fungal-cell melanin "ghosts" were recovered from infected tissue. The results indicate that Cryptococcus neoformans melanises during human infection.
