Trapping and Killing of Candida albicans by Corynebacterium parvum-Activated Livers

PMCID: PMC351533  PMID: 7019084

Abstract

Corynebacterium parvum vaccination significantly increased the number of leukocytes adherent to hepatic vessels. Perfused C. parvum-treated livers killed significantly more Candida albicans than did livers not treated with C. parvum, an effect reversed by the macrophage inhibitors silica, phenylbutazone, and iodoacetate.
