The innate immune response was once considered to be a limited set of responses that
aimed to contain an infection by primitive'ingest and kill'mechanisms, giving the host time to …

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

In this study, we describe a novel murine model of chronic intestinal inflammation induced
by the hapten reagent 2, 4, 6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). Rectal application of low …

The role of antibodies (Abs) in the resistance to vaginal infection by Candida albicans was
investigated by using a rat vaginitis model. Animals receiving antimannoprotein (anti-MP) …

Classic cell wall components of fungi comprise the polysaccharides glucans and chitin, in
association with glycoproteins and pigments. During the last decade, however, system …

Isolates of Candida albicans from the oral cavities of subjects at different stages of human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or uninfected controls were examined for (i) …

We cloned the MP1 gene, which encodes an abundant antigenic cell wall mannoprotein
from the dimorphic pathogenic fungus Penicillium marneffei. MP1 is a unique gene without …

Our previous data show that mannoproteins (MPs) from Cryptococcus neoformans are able
to induce protective responses against both C. neoformans and Candida albicans. Here we …

Mice immunized with heat-inactivated, whole yeast-form cells (Y cells) of Candida albicans
developed intense, specific humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. However, they …

Mannoproteins are fungal cell wall components which play a main role in host–parasite
relationship. Camp65p is a putative β‐glucanase mannoprotein of 65 kDa which has been …
