<i>Candida albicans</i> cells lacking AP-2 have defective hyphae and are avirulent despite increased host uptake and intracellular proliferation in macrophages
2023-08-03

Candida albicans is a commensal microbe and opportunistic human pathogen. The yeast can be recognised and taken up by macrophages via interactions with its cell wall, a complex polysaccharide structure containing several components that are specifically recognised by immune cell receptors.
