Abstract
⺠Cryptococcus neoformans and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis share proteins required for capsule formation. ⺠P. brasiliensis yeast cells react with antibodies raised to cryptococcal GXM. ⺠A mannose-rich P. brasiliensis glycan fraction reacted with antibodies to cryptococcal GXM. ⺠C. neoformans incorporated P. brasiliensis molecules to form capsule-like surface networks. ⺠The P. brasiliensis GXM-like glycan is anti-phagocytic.
