How Histopathology Can Contribute to an Understanding of Defense Mechanisms against Cryptococci

<table>Whereas 219 genes were upregulated in the lungs of mice infected with <i>C. gattii</i> TIMM 4097 (a high-virulence strain), only 175 genes were upregulated in the lungs of mice infected with <i>C. gattii</i> TIMM 4903 (a low-virulence strain). Thus, 35 genes were upregulated in the lungs of mice infected with either <i>C. gattii</i> TIMM 4097 or 4903, while 184 genes were upregulated only in the lungs of mice infected with <i>C. gattii</i> TIMM 4097.</table>
