Immunological Responses to Candida albicans II. Amyloidosis in Mice Induced by Candidiasis

Nancy N Pearsall 1, David Lagunoff 1
PMCID: PMC423117  PMID: 4611928

Abstract

Candida albicans infection in the mouse thigh rapidly induces amyloidosis in mice of the C57BL/Ks strain; amyloid is induced more slowly and to a lesser extent by viable candida in C3H and AKR mice, and by both viable Saccharomyces cerevisiae and heat-killed C. albicans in C57BL/Ks mice.
