Candidacidal activity of neutrophils following T-cell–depleted allogeneic BMT.

Peripheral blood neutrophils were obtained from donor CD2F1 or recipient C3H/HeJ mice and irradiated and reconstituted as in Figure 1legend. Mice were either uninfected or infected with PCA-2 at different weeks after transplantation and reinfected with CA-6 as in Figure 2legend. Three days after reinfection, neutrophils were assessed for ability to kill yeast cells, as described in “Material and methods.” *Indicates P < .05 (BMT mice vs donor mice).
