title: Candida albicans-derived beta-1,2-linked mannooligosaccharides induce desensitization of macrophages.
abstract: Candida albicans beta-1,2-oligomannosides stimulate macrophage tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) but not NO release. This stimulation desensitized macrophages by altering beta-1, 2-oligomannoside-dependent TNF-alpha production and lipopolysaccharide-dependent TNF-alpha and NO secretion. Desensitization was not related to tyrosine phosphorylation signal transduction but was transferred by culture supernatants in which arachidonic acid derivatives were evidenced.
