Cryptococcus neoformans Capsular GXM Conformation and Epitope Presentation: A Molecular Modelling Study
The pathogenic encapsulated Cryptococcus neoformans fungus causes serious disease in immunosuppressed hosts. The capsule, a key virulence factor, consists primarily of the glucuronoxylomannan polysaccharide (GXM) that varies in composition according to serotype. While GXM is a potential vaccine targ...
