In vitro models of hematogenously disseminated candidiasis
EditoriaL 240 Virulence Volume 5 issue 2 In vitro models, in which Candida albicans is incubated with one or more type of host cell, are a powerful tool for dissecting the pathogenesis of infection. Using these models, investigators have elucidated important responses of both the host and the fungus that influence the outcome of infection. In addition, tissue culture models have been invaluable...
متن کاملAvirulence of Candida albicans CaHK1 mutants in a murine model of hematogenously disseminated candidiasis.
Deletion of both alleles of the Candida albicans CaHK1 gene, which causes cells to flocculate when grown at pH 7.5, a pH comparable to that of mammalian blood, abolishes the ability of the yeast to establish a successful infection in a murine model of hematogenously disseminated candidiasis. Within 72 h all mice inoculated with the parental C. albicans strain had died. The mice infected with ei...
متن کاملHuman recombinant antimannan immunoglobulin G1 antibody confers resistance to hematogenously disseminated candidiasis in mice.
Mannan is a major cell wall component found in Candida species. Natural antimannan antibody is present in sera from most normal adults, but its role in host resistance to hematogenously disseminated candidiasis is unknown. The purpose of this study was to develop recombinant human antimannan antibody and to study its protective function. A phage Fab display combinatorial library containing Fab ...
متن کاملActive and Passive Immunization with rHyr1p-N Protects Mice against Hematogenously Disseminated Candidiasis
We previously reported that Candida albicans cell surface protein Hyr1 encodes a phagocyte killing resistance factor and active vaccination with a recombinant N-terminus of Hyr1 protein (rHyr1p-N), significantly protects immunocompetent mice from disseminated candidiasis. Here we report the marked efficacy of rHyr1p-N vaccine on improving the survival and reducing the fungal burden of dissemina...
متن کاملIn vitro lymphoproliferative response and cytokine production in mice with experimental disseminated candidiasis
Objective(s): Systemic candidiasis is an infection of Candida albicans (C. albicans) causing disseminated disease and sepsis, invariably when host defenses are compromised. We investigated the histopathological changes as well as the lymphoproliferative responses and cytokine production of splenic cells after stimulation with Concanavalin A (Con A) and Pokeweed mitogen (PWM) in mice with dissem...
