Isolates of Candida albicans that differ in virulence for mice elicit strain-specific antibody-mediated protective responses.

Abstract excerpt

Three distinct isolates of Candida albicans were used to establish systemic and oral infections in inbred mice that are genetically resistant or susceptible to tissue damage. Patterns of infection differed significantly between both yeasts and mouse strains. Systemic infection conferred significant protection against re-challenge with the homologous, but not the heterologous yeast; however, the protective effect...
