Gamma interferon modifies CD4+ subset expression in murine candidiasis.
A single injection of monoclonal antibody to gamma interferon administered in conjunction with a live Candida albicans yeast cell vaccine resulted in the detection of nonprotective Th2 rather than protective Th1 responses and altered the early expression of interleukin 4 and gamma interferon mRNA in CD4+ cells.
