Note. Interaction assay of BALB/c BMDMs and heat-killed yeasts or hyphae of C. albicans, employing a MOI of 2 for 8 or 16 hours. Levels of expression were measured by qRT-PCR. Fold change of expression is represented by the mean of 3 independent pooled experiments ± SEM. Statistical analyses were performed by Two-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-test. Bold numbers represent differentially expressed values (p-value < 0.05), whereas asterisks indicate p-value;
