Abstract
► H. capsulatum expresses ergosterol-dependent and -independent membrane microdomains. ► Pma1p and laminin binding protein are present in ergosterol dependent microdomains. ► Ergosterol independent rafts present integrin-like protein and glycosphingolipids. ► mβCD reduces by 45% H. capsulatum infectivity of alveolar macrophages. ► Ergosterol restores raft organization and infectivity of mβCD treated H. capsulatum.
