Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Myeloid phagocytes are essential for antifungal immunity against pulmonary Aspergillus fumigatus and systemic Candida albicans infections. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying fungal clearance by phagocytes remain incompletely understood. In this study, we investigated the role of perforin-2 ( Mpeg1 ) in antifungal immunity. We found that Mpeg1 -/- mice generated on a mixed C57BL/6J-...
