FIG. 10.

Pulmonary clearance and leukocyte recruitment following C. neoformans infection. (A) Aliquots from day-14 and day-21 lung digests from both treatment groups were plated onto Sabouraud dextrose agar in 10-fold dilutions, and total numbers of CFU per lung were determined. Results are expressed as means ± SEs. n = 8 mice/group/time point from two separate experiments. (B) Samples of individual lung leukocyte suspensions were cytospun onto slides and stained with Wright-Giemsa stain for visual quantification of leukocyte subsets. Results are expressed as the mean number per lung ± SE. n = 8 mice/group/time point from two separate experiments. *, P < 0.05 for comparisons with C. neoformans-infected control mice. mDC, mature DC; PMN, polymorphonuclear leukocytes; Mono, mononuclear cells; Eos, eosinophils.
