CohortMice were infected by intranasal inoculation with 1 × 105 Pc cysts. Four weeks later, Pc- infected SCID mice were immune reconstituted with 5 × 107 splenocytes from syngeneic donor strains to mimic IRIS as previously described (4,8). Anti-CD3 F(ab′)2 treatment was begun when the mice were clearly symptomatic, which we defined as either the average body weight loss of more than 10% or average respiratory rate was more than 400 respirations per minute.
