متن کاملSecretory Aspartyl Proteinases Cause Vaginitis and Can Mediate Vaginitis Caused by Candida albicans in Mice
UNLABELLED Vaginal inflammation (vaginitis) is the most common disease caused by the human-pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. Secretory aspartyl proteinases (Sap) are major virulence traits of C. albicans that have been suggested to play a role in vaginitis. To dissect the mechanisms by which Sap play this role, Sap2, a dominantly expressed member of the Sap family and a putative constituent o...
متن کاملMurine model of Kawasaki disease induced by mannoprotein-beta-glucan complex, CAWS, obtained from Candida albicans.
Intraperitoneal administration of CAWS (water-soluble extracellular polysaccharide fraction obtained from the culture supernatant of Candida albicans) to mice induces coronary arteritis similar to Kawasaki disease. We analyzed differences in the production of cytokines involved in the occurrence of coronary arteritis among mouse strains, C3H/HeN, C57BL/6, DBA/2 and CBA/J. The incidence of arter...
