FIG. 7.
Virulence assays. (A) Survival curves for mice (n = 10 for each C. albicans strain at each inoculation dose) infected with 106 cells of C. albicans SC5314 (wild type) (●), CAF4-2 (ura3/ura3) (○), or ABH3 (ura3/ura3 odc::hisG-URA3-hisG/odc::hisG) grown at low (0.01 mM) (▴) and high (10 mM) (▵) polyamine levels. (B) Staining of mouse kidney sections with periodic acid-Schiff stain 24 h after infection with ura3/ura3 Δodc/Δodc::URA3 mutant strain ABH3 grown at low (0.01 mM [right]) or high (10 mM [left]) polyamine concentrations.
