Stage-Specific Sampling by Pattern Recognition Receptors during Candida albicans Phagocytosis
27 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans is a medically important pathogen, and recognition by innate immune cells is critical for its clearance. Although a number of pattern recognition receptors have been shown to be involved in recognition and phagocytosis of this fungus, the relative role of these receptors has not been formally examined. In this paper, we have investigated the contribution of the mannose receptor, Dectin-1, and...
