    Macrophage Cholesterol Depletion and Its Effect on the Phagocytosis of Cryptococcus neoformans

    In this article, a protocol for infection of macrophages with Cryptococcus neoformans is described. Also, a method for sterol depletion from the macrophages is explained. These protocols provide a guide to study fungal infections in vitro and examine the role of sterols in such infections.

    A Lactate Dehydrogenase Release Assay to Detect Cryptococcus neoformans Infection in Macrophages

    In this video, we demonstrate a cytotoxicity assay to assess Cryptococcus neoformans, a pathogenic fungus, infection in macrophages. The cytotoxicity is determined by the release of cytoplasmic lactate dehydrogenase enzyme due to macrophage lysis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans...

    Size Matters: Measurement of Capsule Diameter in Cryptococcus neoformans

    The polysaccharide capsule is the primary virulence factor in Cryptococcus neoformans, and its size correlates with strain virulence. Capsule diameter measurements are used in phenotypic testing and to gauge therapeutic efficacy. Here a standard method of capsule induction is presented, and two methods of staining and measuring diameter are...

    Biolistic Transformation of a Fluorescent Tagged Gene into the Opportunistic Fungal Pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans

    Biolistic transformation is a method used to generate stable integration of DNA into the genome of the opportunistic pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans through homologous recombination. We will demonstrate biolistic transformation of a construct, which has the gene encoding acetate kinase fused to the fluorescent tag mCherry into C.
