ABSTRACT
Oropharyngeal candidiasis is an opportunistic mucosal infection caused predominantly by Candida albicans. While healthy individuals are protected, susceptibility is associated with immunodeficiency. In particular, patients with defects related to T helper-17 (Th17) cells and interleukin (IL)-17 signaling are highly susceptible to mucocutaneous forms of candidiasis. Since mice are naïve to Candida albicans, induction of oropharyngeal candidiasis enables a thorough understanding of IL-17 and its related immune components during acute infection. Here we describe a murine model of oropharyngeal candidiasis. This protocol allows for translatable and reproducible infection with results that can be obtained between 2 and 5 days following infection.
