Modulatory effect of prostaglandins on human monocyte activation for killing of high‐ and low‐virulence strains of <i>Paracoccidioides brasiliensis</i>
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
The effect of indomethacin (Indo), a cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor, on the monocyte-mediated killing of a low- (Pb265) and a high- (Pb18) virulence strain of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis was examined. The Pb18 strain was not killed by either non-activated or interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) -activated human monocytes but these cells did show fungicidal activity if pretreated with Indo. In contrast with IFN-gamma, tumour...
