Phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages are potential components of the
immune defense that protects mammals against Candida albicans infection. We have tested …

Host resistance against infections caused by the yeast Candida albicans is mediated
predominantly by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages. Antigens of Candida …

The pathogenicity of the opportunistic human fungal pathogen Candida albicans depends
on its ability to escape destruction by the host immune system. Using mutant strains that are …

The dimorphic transition of Candida albicans from the yeast (Y-Candida) to the hyphal (H-
Candida) form is a complex event; the relevance of this transition in fungal pathogenicity is …

The pathogenicity of the opportunistic human fungal pathogen Candida albicans depends
on its ability to inhibit effective destruction by host phagocytes. Using live cell video …

Candida albicans is a dimorphic fungus capable of transition from the yeast form (Y-
Candida) to the hyphal form (H-Candida). Both Y-Candida and H-Candida are known to be …

Systemic infection of mice with a Candida albicans strain (PCA-2) incapable of yeast-
mycelial conversion is known to activate host macrophages and confer protection against …

Activated peritoneal macrophages obtained from Listeria-immune mice were demonstrated
to kill nonphagocytosable Candida albicans hyphae by contact-mediated mechanisms in a …

Candida albicans infection is common in immunocompromised patients. The role of fixed
tissue macrophages (M phi), including Kupffer cells (KC) and peritoneal macrophages (PM …

The interaction of Candida albicans with macrophages induces the production of interleukin
1β (IL-1β) through inflammasome activation in a process that is required for host survival. C …
