Cryptococcus neoformans modulates extracellular killing by neutrophils

We recently established a key role for host sphingomyelin synthase (SMS) in the regulation of the killing activity of neutrophils against Cryptococcus neoformans. In this work, we studied the effect of C. neoformans on the killing activity of neutrophils and whether SMS would still be a player again...
