title: [Interaction of Candida albicans with macrophages].
abstract: Study of the in vitro interaction of mouse peritoneal macrophages with C. albicans has revealed that these macrophages, though easily phagocytizing C. albicans blastospores, are incapable of destroying the fungus. The phagocytic, but not candidostatic, activity of these macrophages has been found to depend on the conditions on their cultivation, as well as on the age and viability of fungal cells. The representatives of 7 C. albicans strains, obtained from various sources and stored at the museum for different spans of time, have shown practically no difference in the character of their interaction with mouse peritoneal macrophages.
