Increased number of leukocytes in BALF and mLN of the C. neoformans–infected mice. IL-17A–EGFP reporter mice (n = 4 per group) were uninfected (mock) or intranasally inoculated with 1 × 105 cells with C. neoformans H99 strain (Cn H99), BALF, mLN and spleen were collected after 14 days for analysis. Total number of cells in (a) BALF, (b) mLN and (c) spleen were determined by manual cell count using a haemocytometer. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, n.s.: not significant or P ≥ 0.05, by Mann-Whitney U test
