The cell wall is essential to nearly every aspect of the biology and pathogenicity of Candida
albicans. Although it was intially considered an almost inert cellular structure that protected …

The cell wall of Candida albicans not only is the structure in which many biological functions
essential for the fungal cells reside but also is a significant source of candidal antigens. The …

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

Lymphocyte polyclonal activation is a generalized mechanism of immune evasion among
pathogens. In a mouse model of Trypanosoma cruzi infection (American trypanosomiasis) …

Certain extracellular proteins produced by several pathogenic microorganisms interfere with
the host immune system facilitating microbial colonization and were thus designated …

Candida albicans mannan extracts encapsulated in liposomes were previously used to
stimulate mice to produce antibodies protective against candidiasis. In the present study …

We have observed by flow cytometric analysis that a small but consistent percentage of
circulating hemocytes in phases S, G2 and M of the cell cycle can be detected in Penaeus …

We previously reported that the immunoglobulin M (IgM) monoclonal antibody (MAb) B6. 1
protects mice against disseminated candidiasis, whereas the IgM MAb B6 does not. Both …

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 …

The cell wall of Candida albicans is not only the structure where many essential biological
functions reside but is also a significant source of candidal antigens. The major cell wall …
