FIG. 4.

C. albicans hyphal growth in the presence and absence of dimethyl formamide-induced neutrophils. GFP-Candida were cultured with (dotted line) or without (solid line) HL60 granulocytoids in a Bioptechs ΔTC3 petri dish as described in Materials and Methods. Photographs were taken every 60 min with a 20× objective. Hyphal length was measured for all Candida cells in three microscopic fields for each time point. The number of Candida cells counted for each point on the graph is indicated. The figure shows the change in average hyphal length of C. albicans. The standard error is indicated at each time point.
