Influence of Fungal Surface Components on the Interaction of Coccidioides immitis with Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) possess phagocytic and fungicidal activity against Coccidioides immitis that declines during maturation from arthroconidia to round cells, is lost throughout spherule maturation, and returns when endospores are released from ruptured spherules. Studies of PMN che...
