Abstract excerpt
The high toxicity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) suggested a possible role in the pathogenicity of human pathogenic fungi. We previously reported a chemiluminescence method for measuring ROS generation in Candida albicans. In the present study, we attempted to visualize the ROS, superoxide anion radical (O2-), generated by paraquat (PQ)-stimulated C. albicans using methyl-Cypridina-luciferin analog (MCLA) as a...
