A small secreted protein triggers a TLR2/4-dependent inflammatory response during invasive Candida albicans infection
The interplay between fungal pathogens and the innate immune system remains incompletely understood. Here, Wang et al. show that a small protein secreted by Candida albicans induces a TLR2- and TLR4-mediated inflammatory response in a mouse infection model.
