Functional Aspects of a Second Mechanism of Candidacidal Activity by Human Neutrophils

Lehrer, Robert I.
RESUMO
We tested the ability of human neutrophils to kill five Candida species and the yeast Torulopsis glabrata. C. parapsilosis and C. pseudotropicalis were found to be killed readily by normal and myeloperoxidase-deficient neutrophils and were selected to probe the myeloperoxidase-independent fungicidal mechanisms of the neutrophil.
