After intravenous (i.v.) or intranasal (i.n.) challenge with Candida albicans the progression of infection and concomitant cellular and antibody anti-C. albicans immune responses were analysed. During the week following i.v. challenge, the rate of C. albicans multiplication in kidneys, liver and spleen was faster in IFNgammaR (-/-) than IFNgammaR (+/+) mice. As a result, IFNgammaR (-/-) mice perished earlier than IFNgammaR (+/+) mice when challenged with equal numbers of live yeast cells. However, the overall susceptibility of the two mouse strains, in terms of survival against different C. albicans challenge doses over a 60-day period, was similar. No differences were found in the cellular anti-C. albicans response generated by i.v. challenge in both mouse strains. In contrast the kinetics and strength of the serum anti-C. albicans antibody responses were markedly different. Significantly stronger, predominantly IgG2a antibody responses accompanied the eventual control of C. albicans infection in IFNgammaR (-/-) mice. Following intranasal challenge, there was no difference in the rate of C. albicans clearance from the lungs of IFNgammaR (-/-) and IFNgammaR (+/+) mice. However, 48 h after challenge, large, conspicuous abscesses appeared in the lungs, liver, kidneys and spleen of IFNgammaR (-/-) mice. These abscesses were characterised by the presence of C. albicans and abundant neutrophilic infiltrates, but very few macrophages. No such abscesses developed in i.n. challenged IFNgammaR (+/+) mice. In both mouse strains, i.n. challenge induced strong systemic anti-C. albicans cellular responses, but relatively low titre systemic antibody responses. Mucosal anti-C. albicans antibody responses were detected in IFNgammaR (+/+), but not IFNgammaR (-/-) mice. Splenic adherent macrophages obtained from IFNgammaR (-/-) mice exhibited a significantly lower candidacidal activity than those of IFNgammaR (+/+) mice, and as expected, were not responsive to IFNgamma. In summary, these data suggest that IFNgamma has a role in limiting C. albicans multiplication during the early stages of infection, as well as in preventing the development of C. albicans-associated abscesses. Activation of macrophages by IFNgamma might be pivotal in mediating this role."xsd:string
