FITC-lectin avidity of Cryptococcus neoformans cell wall and capsular components

Flow cytometry and confocal microscopy were used to quantify and visualize FITC-lectin binding to cell-surface carbohydrate ligands of log and stationary phase acapsular and capsular Cryptococcus neoformans strains. Cell populations demonstrated marked avidity for terminal α-linked mannose and gluco...
