Figure 2

MBL induced agglutination of Candida albicans after 1 h incubation. (a) In absence of MBL and FBS, no agglutination is observed with yeast form of C. albicans (Black arrow). (b) In absence of MBL and presence of 10% FBS, no agglutination only germination of hyphae is observed (Black arrow). (c) and (d) In presence of 5 and 10 μg/mL MBL with 10% FBS, agglutination of germinated hyphae of C. albicans is started to be observed (Black arrow).
