Inhibition of the growth of H. capsulatum yeasts by lysozyme and elastase^a

Reagent	Concn (μg/ml)	% Inhibition of growthb
Lysozyme	1	16 ± 4
	10	20 ± 5
	100	36 ± 8
Elastase	1	17 ± 6
	10	22 ± 8
	100	25 ± 8

^aH. capsulatum yeasts (5 × 10³) were incubated with various concentrations of lysozyme and elastase for 24 h at 37°C. The yeasts then were pulsed with [³H]leucine for an additional 24 h to quantitate the growth of the remaining yeasts. 

^bMean ± SEM (n = 10 for lysozyme and 6 for elastase). The data were not statistically significantly different from the controls (Student's t test).
