Abstract
AbstractCryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that frequently causes fatal meningoencephalitis in patients with impaired immune responses. This fungus, an intracellularly growing microbe, evades host immunity, leading to a latent infection (latent C. neoformans infection: LCNI), and cryptococcal disease is developed by its reactivation when host immunity is suppressed. Elucidation of the pathophysiology of LCNI is difficult due to the lack of mouse models. Here we show the established methods for LCNI and reactivation.
