COCCIDIOIDES IMMITIS ENDOSPORES - PHAGOCYTOSIS BY HUMAN CELLS MYCOPATHOLOGIA Deresinski, S. C., Levine, H. B., Stevens, D. A. 1978; 64 (3): 179-181

Abstract

Phagocytosis of killed endospores by glass adherent peripheral human mononuclear cells was studied. Phagocytosis continued through 30 minutes of incubation. No difference in rates of ingestion could be detected when cells from coccidioidin-reactive and nonreactive subjects were compared although both groups ingested endospores more avidly than latex particles.
