متن کاملIs human dectin-1 Y238X gene polymorphism related to susceptibility to recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis?
Background and Purpose: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a frequent disease affecting approximately more than %75 of all childbearing women at least once in their lifetime by overgrowth of opportunistic Candida species. Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is common in otherwise healthy individuals. Several risk factors were reported to contribute to RVVC susceptibility. A polymorphism in Decti...
متن کاملMBL-Mediated Opsonophagocytosis of Candida albicans by Human Neutrophils Is Coupled with Intracellular Dectin-1-Triggered ROS Production
Mannan-binding lectin (MBL), a lectin homologous to C1q, greatly facilitates C3/C4-mediated opsonophagocytosis of Candida albicans (C. albicans) by human neutrophils, and has the capacity to bind to CR1 (CD35) expressed on circulating neutrophils. The intracellular pool of neutrophil Dectin-1 plays a critical role in stimulating the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation through recognition o...
متن کاملHuman immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection of alveolar macrophages impairs their innate fungicidal activity.
Impaired adaptive immunity is the hallmark of AIDS, but the effects of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection on innate immunity are less clear. Cryptococcus neoformans (CN) is a common AIDS-related fungal pathogen acquired by inhalation. Alveolar macrophages (AM) comprise the initial host defense in cryptococcosis and they may arrest infection before dissemination occurs. We hyp...
متن کاملFungicidal activity of cecropin A.
Cecropin A (CA) fungicidal properties were explored. Nongerminated and germinated Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium spp. conidia were treated with CA. CA achieved complete lethality at < or = 25 microM (99 micrograms/ml) for germinating, but not nongerminating, conidia of Aspergillus spp. CA achieved total lethality for nongerminated and germinating conidia of Fusarium spp at 1.5 microM (6 microgra...
