Figure 1

Cell-to-cell transfer of C. neoformans leads to infection of previously uninfected cell. Following phagocytosis, macrophages closely apposed to each other underwent fusion leading to cell to cell transfer of Cn. The thin arrow indicates the Cn yeast that is being transferred while the wide arrow points to the Cn yeast that has been fully transferred to the previously uninfected murine macrophages cell. Images were collected at 20×.
