Differential responses to coccidioidal infection in mice. C57BL/6 mice are highly sensitive to coccidioidal infection and possess Dectin-1, which encodes a short stalk. DBA-2 mice are resistant to coccidioidal infection and possess Dectin-1 which encodes a long stalk. Expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines from immune cells stimulated by Coccidioides spp. differs between the two inbred strains of mice. The cytokine differences listed have been observed experimentally and are not the exclusive source of the cells listed. Illustration by Nicole Wolf, MS, ©2023.
