Cwt1 contributes to fungal survival in macrophages. (A) The survival of the indicated strains (see the legend to Fig. 6) was assessed using an endpoint dilution assay after coculture with J774A.1 cells for 24 h and expressed relative to the survival of cells cultured in the absence of macrophages. (B) The release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from macrophages was assayed as a measure of fungus-induced membrane damage and expressed relative to the release of LDH from chemically lysed macrophages. *, P < 0.05 relative to the wild-type control strain. Error bars show standard deviations.
