“…The capsular polysaccharide (1,17,28) has been shown to be responsible for the serological specificity of C. neoformans. Recently the chemical structures of the repeating units of the polysaccharides responsible for the specificities of serotypes A, B, C, and D of C. neoformans were defined by Bhattacharjee et al (3-7), Cherniak et al (9), and Merrifield and Stephen (21).…”

During a study of serotyping of Cryptococcus neoformans, we found that the type strain of C. neoformans (CBS 132) was serotype A-D. This strain agglutinated with both factor 7 serum (specific for serotype A) and factor 8 serum (specific for serotype D) in our serotyping system. Therefore, we investigated the chemical structure of the antigenic capsular polysaccharide of this strain. The soluble capsular polysaccharide was obtained from the culture supernatant fluid by precipitation with ethanol.

“…It is suggested that prolonged nutritional deficiency in Hodgkin's disease is a factor in producing this striking association, for it is well known that in debilitated states non-pathogenic organisms and fungi may overcome the normal body defences and become invasive. In support of this, the work of Benham (1935) …”
