Host Metabolic Reprogramming Defines Macrophage Antifungal Activity Against Cryptococcus neoformans

Innate immune cells, including macrophages and DCs, are critical for controlling infection by Cryptococcus neoformans. Although C. neoformans is phagocytosed equally by each pulmonary phagocyte subset, CD11b+ DCs support fungal growth, whereas Ly6c- monocyte-like macrophages are antifungal. The metabolic programs underlying these contrasting responses remain incompletely understood, but our…
