Radiofungicidal Effects of External Gamma Radiation and Antibody-Targeted Beta and Alpha Radiation on Cryptococcus neoformans
We evaluated the clonogenic survival, membrane permeability, metabolic activity (XTT reduction), and
apoptosis (FLICA binding) of Cryptococcus neoformans cells subjected to gamma rays from an external source,
and beta and alpha particles delivered to fungal cells by capsule-specific antibody. We found that gamma, beta,
and alpha radiation affected cells through different pathways.
