The fungal pathogens Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii can cause life-
threatening infections in immune compromised and immune competent hosts. These …

The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans can cause life-threatening infections in
immune compromised individuals. This pathogen is typically acquired via inhalation, and …

This chapter reviews current knowledge regarding the role of dendritic cells (DCs) and T
cells in the generation of protective immunity against Cryptococcus neoformans infections …

Fungal infections are an increasingly growing public health concern, and Cryptococcus is
one of the most problematic fungal organisms causing substantial mortality and morbidity …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes over 180,000
annual deaths in HIV/AIDS patients. Innate phagocytes in the lungs, such as dendritic cells …

Cryptococcus species are encapsulated fungi found in the environment that predominantly
cause disease in immunocompromised hosts after inhalation into the lungs. Even with …

This review discusses the unique contributions of dendritic cells (DCs) to T-cell priming and
the generation of effective host defenses against Cryptococcus neoformans (C. neo) …

Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii are fungal pathogens that cause life-threatening
disease. These fungi commonly enter their host via inhalation into the lungs where they …

During adaptive immunity to pathogens, dendritic cells (DCs) capture, kill, process, and
present microbial Ags to T cells. Ag presentation is accompanied by DC maturation driven …

Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) are critical for protection against pulmonary infection
with the opportunistic fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans; however, the role of …
