We have developed a fluorometric microtiter plate assay to quantify the internalization of Histoplasma capsulatum yeasts by macrophages. The assay utilizes the fluorescent dye Calcofluor White to label the yeast cell wall and the vital dye trypan blue, which does not enter viable macrophages, to quench fluorescence of extracellular labeled yeasts. Murine RAW 264.7 cells showed more efficient internalization of strain G217B yeasts than human U937 cells. Both cell lines exhibited a dependence upon actin, and, to a lesser degree, microtubules, in G217B uptake.
