Experimental C albicans infection of wild-type and G-CSF–deficient mice.
(A) Candida load per kidney (expressed as logarithm of the yeast count) in wild type (□) and G-CSF–deficient mice (•), 3 and 7 days after experimental infection with C albicans. (B) Body weight as a percent of pretreatment values after candida challenge. C albicans (2.5 × 105 CFUs ) was injected through lateral tail vein of wild-type (▪) and G-CSF–deficient mice (•). Body weights were recorded before and at the time points shown after challenge. Ten mice of each type were studied. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. *P < .05 for comparison of G-CSF–deficient and wild-type mice.
