A Novel Diabetic Murine Model of Candida albicans-Induced Mucosal Inflammation and Proliferation
Figure 4
Mucosal and submucosal inflammation induced by C. albicans. (a) Neutrophils infiltrate (white arrows) in the hyperplastic mucosal surface with fungal (black arrows) and bacterial infection (asterisk) in the AC group. (b) Lymphoplasmacytic cell infiltration in the submucosa are observed in the AC group. (c) Fungi positive for a C. albicans antigen by immunohistochemical staining are seen in hyperplastic mucosal surface. Scale bar, 50 μm.
