Laccase expression in murine pulmonary Cryptococcus neoformans infection.

Javier Garcia-Rivera¹, Stephanie C Tucker, Marta Feldmesser, Peter R Williamson, Arturo Casadevall.

Abstract

Cryptococcus neoformans laccase expression during murine infection was investigated in lung tissue by immunohistochemistry and immunogold electron microscopy. Laccase was detected in the fungal cell cytoplasm, cell wall, and capsule in vivo. The amount of laccase found in different sites varied as a function of the time of infection.
