From: Microbiota-driven interleukin-17 production provides immune protection against invasive candidiasis
Impaired defense against invasive candidiasis in ABX mice. All samples were obtained from ABX and CNV mice at day 3 after infection. a The serum concentrations of ALT, AST, BUN, and creatinine of ABX and CNV mice. b Fungal burden of the liver, kidney, spleen, and lung tissues from ABX and CNV mice. c Representative examples of H&E-stained liver, kidney, spleen, and lung from ABX and CNV mice. d Pathological scores for liver, kidney, spleen, and lung tissues from ABX and CNV mice. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM, and P values were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test (a, b, d). Two-tailed P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results are representative of three independent experiments (n = 5, in each group)
