Immunomodulation by Blastomyces dermatitidis: functional activity of murine peritoneal macrophages.
Cell-mediated immunity plays the dominant role in the immune response of mice to Blastomyces dermatitidis infections. Since macrophages play an important role in cell-mediated immunity, the interactions between sensitized murine peritoneal macrophages and the yeast phase of B. dermatitidis were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the sensitized macrophages readily phagocytize...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of Blastomyces dermatitidis.
The inhalation of conidia of Blastomyces dermatitidis, a fungus found in soil, causes disease in humans and animals. We studied the genetic diversity of this pathogen by extracting DNA yeasts and analyzing them with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based typing system we developed, which used restriction fragment analysis of amplicons from the regions between the rDNA repeats and allowed us to...

Effective method for the heat inactivation of Blastomyces dermatitidis.
Manipulation of Blastomyces dermatitidis requires the use of containment level 3 (CL3) practices. However, access to CL3 laboratories is limited and working conditions are restrictive. We describe the validation of a "heat-killing" method to inactivate B. dermatitidis, thus allowing cellular material to be removed from the CL3 laboratory for subsequent DNA isolation that is suitable for genetic...
متن کاملThe unappreciated intracellular lifestyle of Blastomyces dermatitidis.
Blastomyces dermatitidis, a dimorphic fungus and the causative agent of blastomycosis, is widely considered an extracellular pathogen, with little evidence for a facultative intracellular lifestyle. We infected mice with spores, that is, the infectious particle, via the pulmonary route and studied intracellular residence, transition to pathogenic yeast, and replication inside lung cells. Nearly...
