title: [Candida albicans infection: in vitro immunity aspects].
abstract: The authors have investigated the chemotactic ability of C. albicans toward macrophages and polymorphonuclears. Experiments, carried out by modified Boyden chamber, lead to isolate a chemotactic agent, considered either a moderate cytotaxin, or an excellent cytotaxigen.
