Rim Pathway-Mediated Alterations in the Fungal Cell Wall Influence Immune Recognition and Inflammation
Compared to other fungal pathogens, Cryptococcus neoformans is particularly adept at avoiding detection by innate immune cells. To explore fungal cellular features involved in immune avoidance, we characterized cell surface changes of the C. neoformans rim101Δ mutant, a strain that fails to organize...
