immune system
• following C. albicans challenge, peritoneal macrophage exhibit reduced release of arachidonic acid and fail to produce TNF compared with wild-type cells
• however, macrophage exhibit normal arachidonic acid release in response to PMA and lipid metabolism
|
• of non-opsonized C. albicans
• no improvement with IL13 treatment
|
• in response to heat-killed C. albicans or non-opsonized zymosan
• however, response to LPS is normal
|
• following C. albicans challenge, macrophage exhibit reduced release of arachidonic acid, C. albicans phagocytosis, reactive oxygen species production (whether treated with IL13 and/or mannan or not) and yeast clearance compared with control cells
