Laboratory investigation; a journal of technical methods and pathology, 1995•europepmc.orgBackground Cryptococcus neoformans (CN) is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause
fatal meningoencephalitis in patients with immune deficiency. Among the central nervous
system (CNS) cells that are infected by CN are perivascular microglia and macrophages.
Little is known about the interaction of CN and CNS phagocytes at the cellular level.
