N2 - Amphotericin B (AmB) enhanced nitrite synthesis by murine macrophage- like J774.16 cells in a dosedependent fashion. This effect was retained in the presence of Cryptococcus neoformans capsular polysaccharide, a known virulence factor. AmB and anticapsular antibody increased nitrite synergistically. In all cases, AmB required gamma interferon; C. neoformans cells were unable tO elicit nitrite, with or without AmB.
