Interferon-gamma activates rat alveolar macrophages for anticryptococcal activity. Abstract. Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic yeast causing disease predominantly in immunosuppressed patients. C. neoformans is acquired by the pulmonary route, where the alveolar macrophage (AM) is a resident mechanism of host defense.
Interferons (IFNs) are a group of signaling proteins made and released by host cells in response to the presence of several pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and also tumor cells. In a typical scenario, a virus-infected cell will release interferons causing nearby cells to heighten their anti-viral defenses.
