Abstract excerpt
Secreted aspartic proteinases (Saps) are important virulence factors during Candida albicans mucosal or disseminated infections. A differential expression of individual SAP genes has been shown previously in a model of oral candidosis based on reconstituted human epithelium (RHE), and in the oral cavity of patients. In this study, the ultrastructural localization of distinct groups of Sap isoenzymes expressed...
