2002). Human Epidermis Although less common, C. albicans also causes cutaneous infections which in immunocompromised patients can lead to severe systemic disease (Odds, 1988). Reconstituted human epidermis for in vitro experiments can be purchased from Skinethic Laboratory (Nice, France). This skin model consists of stratified keratinocytes and a differentiated stratum corneum which confers the permeability barrier characteristic of the epidermis. The model was used to test the role of the secreted aspartic proteases (Saps) encoded by 10 genes in C.
Fluorescence microscopy has also been used for C. , 1998). Internalization of the C. , 2005). The need to have appropriate antibodies, as it is the case of A. fumigatus, can be bypassed by a combined biotin-calcofluor-staining (BCS) technique in which biotinylated conidia are incubated with BCS macrophages. , 2006). In these experiments, the phagocytosis index is commonly ascertained by determining the number of unbound cells (which are removed by washing and quantified by plate counting). Thus phagocytosis can be expressed by subtracting the colonyforming units counted in the washing fluid from those obtained from dose suspension or as percentage of fungal yeast used for macrophages infection.
