Role of T and B cells in C. dubliniensis-induced protection. RAG mice (deficient in T and B cells) (n = 10) and the background congenic strain, C57BL/6J mice (n = 10) were given the primary challenge of C. dubliniensis and S. aureus 30 days or 14 days prior to rechallenge with C. albicans/S. aureus (standard inocula). Animals receiving no primary challenge served as the positive (lethal) controls. Mice were monitored for 10 days post-rechallenge. *, significantly different from control (P < 0.05) by log rank Mantel-Cox test.
