The balance between pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokine production is a crucial aspect of
infections caused by Candida albicans. We therefore investigated the effect of yeast …

Oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) is the most common opportunistic infection in
immunosuppressed patients. In OPC, Candida albicans persists intraepithelially triggering …

Candida albicans is recognized by phagocytic cells through a set of recognition receptors
patterns. Recently, we showed the importance of TLR2 in the regulation of neutrophil …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen, which causes local and/or disseminated
diseases in immunosuppressed humans. Phagocytic cells play a critical role in the immune …

As TLRs are expressed by haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), these
receptors may play a role in haematopoiesis in response to pathogens during infection. We …

Candida albicans, the most commonly isolated human fungal pathogen, is able to grow as
budding yeasts or filamentous forms, such as hyphae. The ability to switch morphology has …

The role of T lymphocytes in host responses to sublethal systemic infection with Candida
albicans was evaluated by mAb depletion of CD4+ and CD8+ cells from BALB/c and …

A defined and balanced immunomodulatory response is crucial for the protection of mucosal
surfaces being in contact with pathogenic microorganisms. This study examined the local …

Candida albicans is an oral commensal yeast that causes oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC)
in immunocompromised individuals. The immunological pathways involved in OPC have …

Systemic infection of mice with a Candida albicans strain (PCA-2) incapable of yeast-
mycelial conversion conferred protection against a subsequent intravenous challenge with …
