Phenotypic comparisons of each AfuPmV-1M ORF (1–5)-expressing and non-expressing (−) KU strain. (A) Fungal burden in mouse lungs. Fungal cell numbers in mouse lungs were estimated as CFU of lung tissues 3 days after infection with each fungal strain. (B) Adherence of conidia from each strain to A549 human pneumocyte cells. (C) Cellular cytotoxicity of each ORF expressing (1–5) and non-expressing (−) strain assayed by LDH activity. A549 cells were incubated with each strain for 24 h for the LDH assay. (D) Sensitivity of each strain to phagocytosis by J774A.1, a murine macrophage cell line. (E) Effect of hydrogen peroxide on the growth of each strain. (F) Growth of each strain under osmotic stress conditions. p < 0.05, by one-way ANOVA, Dunnett’s test.
