Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β expression of Candida albicans-infected mice. Mice were infected with 1×10⁶ B311 or SC5413 and sacrificed at the indicated times. (A) TNF-α and (B) IL-1β mRNA levels were determined by quantification polymerase chain reaction. The standard error of the mean is indicated for each sample. (C) TNF-α and (D) IL-1β cytokine levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The standard error of the mean is indicated for each sample.
