Immunogenic fractions of Cryptococcus neoformans. 1982

J R Graybill, and D C Straus, and T J Nealon, and M Hague, and R E Paque

Cryptococcus neoformans cell and culture supernatant extracts were fractionated by ion exchange and gel filtration column chromatography. Various fractions were used to immunize mice, and to assess the release of migration inhibition factor, delayed type hypersensitivity, and protective immunity after challenge with C. neoformans. Results suggest that the C. neoformans fractions, which protect mice, contain a high molecular weight, predominantly carbohydrate antigen that can be distinguished from the capsular polysaccharide.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).
