Expression of Genes Encoding Innate Host Defense Molecules in Normal Human Monocytes in Response toCandida albicans

Abstract excerpt

Little is known about the regulation and coordinated expression of genes involved in the innate host response to Candida albicans. We therefore examined the kinetic profile of gene expression of innate host defense molecules in normal human monocytes infected with C. albicans using microarray technology. Freshly isolated peripheral blood monocytes from five healthy donors were incubated with C. albicans for 0 to...
