Therefore, this study focused on an analysis of the following: 1. The effect of infection with different strains of C. albicans on the severity of oral and systemic candidiasis in resistant and susceptible strains of inbred mice; 2. A comparison of phagocytosis and killing of different strains of yeasts by neutrophils and macrophages from these…mehr

A comparison of phagocytosis and killing of different strains of yeasts by neutrophils and macrophages from these mice; 3.The ability of antibody to protect against infection, and the spectrum of antigenic determinants to which they respond; 4. The role of T-helper cytokines in candidiasis.
