Figure 11. Decreased fungal burden in ΔalcC inoculated mice.

Figure 11

Outbred CD1 mice were immunosuppressed by subcutaneous injection of triamcinolone (40 mg/kg) 1 day prior to A. fumigatus inoculation in a Hinner's inhalation chamber. Fungal burden in the lungs was determined by quantitative real-time PCR based on the 18S rRNA gene of A. fumigatus. Data are presented as total fungal genomic DNA normalized to input DNA. The mean and standard error are presented (N = 3 mice for the control group and N = 7 mice for both inoculation groups). * p<0.01.
