INHIBITION OF14C UPTAKE BY CANDIDA ALBICANS: A NEW METHOD FOR INVESTIGATION OF INTRACELLULAR KILLING BY PHAGOCYTES
Authors
Abstract:
A radio assay employing 14C-uridine to measure the intracellular killing of Candida albicans by phagocytes is presented. The principle of this new method is that after killing of Candida albicans by phagocytes RNA synthesis stops and therefore uridine uptake is diminished whilst viable candida in cultures would take up uridine and as a result, high CPM counts can be obtained within 135 min. of incubation in test cultures. Leukocytes from 30 normal subjects showed reduced C.P.M. following killing of Candida albicans.

The inhibition of Candida albicans secreted aspartyl proteinase by triangular gold nanoparticles
Objective(s): The aim of this study was to synthesize triangular gold nanoparticles, and then to evaluate their capability for inhibition of Candida albicans secreted aspartyl proteinase 2(Sap2).Materials and Methods: To synthesize the nanoparticles, hydrogen tetrachloroaurate and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide were incubated in presence of Sn(IV) meso-tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridyl) porphine t...
full textImpaired killing of Candida albicans by granulocytes mobilized for transfusion purposes: a role for granule components.
Granulocyte transfusions are used to treat neutropenic patients with life-threatening bacterial or fungal infections that do not respond to anti-microbial drugs. Donor neutrophils that have been mobilized with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and dexamethasone are functional in terms of antibacterial activity, but less is known about their fungal killing capacity. We investigated t...

A permease encoded by STL1 is required for active glycerol uptake by Candida albicans.
Candida albicans accumulates large amounts of the polyols glycerol and d-arabitol when the cells are exposed to physiological conditions relevant to stress and virulence in animals. Intracellular concentrations of glycerol are determined by rates of glycerol production and catabolism and of glycerol uptake and efflux through the plasma membrane. We and others have studied glycerol production in...
