Fig. 4

Expression of genes in C. albicans cells colonizing mice of different immune status. Ca-educated (black symbols), n-BALB/c mice (open symbols) and BALB/c mice nu/nu (grey symbols) were orally inoculated with C. albicans. On day 2 post-inoculation, C. albicans cells were harvested and gene expression in these cells was measured by quantitative RT-PCR. The experiment was performed twice and representative results are shown. Brackets indicate comparisons between expression in Ca-educated mice versus BALB/c nu/nu mice. *, p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 (t test with log-transformed data). Expression of the following genes is shown: Panel a: EFG1, FLO8, TPK1, RAS1, BCY1 and PDE2. Panel b: HDA1, TUP1, SET3, HOS2, SIN3, and RPD3. Panel c: YNG2, ESA1, SAS2, PMA1 and LSC2
