| Cohort | The C. albicans strain was a clinical isolate (SC5314), and was maintained on solid yeast extract peptone dextrose medium (1%D-glucose, 1%Difco Yeast Extract, and 2% agar) and incubated at 30̊ C for at least 2 days before use. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from buffy coats of healthy donors over a Lymphoprep (Nycomed Pharma) gradient according to standard procedures. Monocytes were purified from peripheral blood mononuclear cell by magnetic cell sorting using anti-CD14- coated beads (Miltenyi Biotech). To generate M1 (GM-CSF) and M2 (M-CSF) monocyte-derived macrophages, CD14+ cells were cultured with 1000 U/mL rhGM-CSF (Immuno- Tools) or 10 ng/mLM-CSF (ImmunoTools), respectively, and with cytokine addition every two days. After seven days, positive control M1 and M2 macrophages were stimulated with 10 ng/mL LPS and cultured for 24 h before collecting supernatants for cytokine determination. |

| Disease Introduction Mechanism | Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen causing symptomatic infections especially in patients with compromised immune functions. This opportunistic yeast possesses the remarkable ability to survive and proliferate in a changing environment, adapting its growth to physiological extremes of pH, osmolarity, availability of nutrients, and temperature. C. albicans is a commensal fungus present in the skin and mucosal flora in the majority of healthy humans. The transition from unicellular yeast to filamentous forms is a crucial C. albicans virulence factor, and appears to determine tissue invasion and escape from the host immune response. |
