Sterol profiles of samples taken from different sites of a Pneumocystis-infected human lung showed large variations in pneumocysterol similar to those that occur among samples from different patients. Thus, the influence of diet or drugs on pneumocysterol accumulation was ruled out, suggesting distinct phenotypic populations as the basis for the heterogeneity.
从感染肺孢子菌的人类肺部不同部位采集的样本的甾醇谱显示,肺孢子菌甾醇存在很大差异,类似于不同患者样本之间的差异。因此,饮食或药物对肺孢子菌甾醇积累的影响被排除,这表明不同的表型群体是这种异质性的基础。
