FIG 2.

The cho1Δ/Δ mutant has increased binding to the Dectin1 receptor. (A) C. albicans strains grown overnight in YPD were stained with sDectin-1–Fc and a fluorescently labeled secondary antibody, showing that the cho1Δ/Δ mutant exhibits greater staining than all of the other strains. (B) Flow cytometry reveals that the cho1Δ/Δ mutant (solid red line) has greater binding to the Dectin-1 receptor than the other strains. (C) A graph of the relative mean staining intensity of each sample reveals that the cho1Δ/Δ mutant exhibits significantly greater staining with sDectin-1–Fc than the other strains. *, P < 0.05.
