Abstract
Conditions consistent with tolerance or immunoregulation have been observed in experimental Candida albicans vaginal infections. The present study investigated the role of gamma/delta T cells in experimental vaginal candidiasis. Results showed that T-cell receptor delta-chain-knockout mice had significantly less vaginal fungal burden when compared to wild-type mice, suggesting an immunoregulatory role for gamma/delta T cells in Candida vaginitis.Entities:
