In studies of murine infection, the capsule thickness of
Cryptococcus neoformans varied depending on the
organ. The relative order of thickness was as follows:
lung > brain > in vitro isolates. The differences in
capsule thickness suggest that there are organ-related differences in the expression of genes responsible for capsule thickness.
