Resistance of T-Cell Receptor δ-Chain-Deficient Mice to ExperimentalCandidaalbicansVaginitis
1 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
Conditions consistent with tolerance or immunoregulation have been observed in experimental Candida albicans vaginal infections. The present study investigated the role of gamma/delta T cells in experimental vaginal candidiasis. Results showed that T-cell receptor delta-chain-knockout mice had significantly less vaginal fungal burden when compared to wild-type mice, suggesting an immunoregulatory role for...
