The role of Dectin-2 for leukocyte antifungal biological properties. Leukocyte recruitment in the peritoneum (A) wild-type and Dectin-2−/− mice were injected with 100 μL of 1 × 105 heat-killed C. albicans per mouse, intraperitoneally. After 4 h, cells were recruited, stained with May-Grünwald Giemsa, and counted under the microscope. Phagocytosis and killing of C. albicans cells by murine peritoneal macrophages (B). The results are represented as percentage of phagocytosis (the percentage of fungal cells engulfed by macrophages present in the well) and percentage of killing (the percentage of killed fungal cells among the phagocytosed yeast). The C. albicans/macrophage ratio was 10:1. Values represent mean ± SEM (n = 5 mice per group) *P < 0.05.
