Figure Lengend Snippet: Tissue fungal burden and galectin-3 concentrations in adult mice with disseminated candidiasis. Mice (n=7) were infected via tail-vein injection with C. albicans and euthanized at 48 h after injection. Panel A: Tissue fungal burden. Panel B: Mean gal3 concentration in tissue homogenates compared to animals receiving saline (n=10). Error bars represent standard deviation. No differences in tissue gal3 concentration were detected by ANOVA with inter-group comparisons by the Student-Newman-Keuls Method.

Article Snippet: In a subsequent experiment, pups were delivered and randomized to receive 5 μg carrier-free recombinant mouse gal3 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) or saline in 20 μl i.p. injection prior to infection with C. albicans as described above.

Techniques: Infection, Injection, Concentration Assay, Saline, Standard Deviation

Figure Lengend Snippet: Tissue fungal burden and galectin-3 concentrations in neonatal mice with disseminated candidiasis. Two-day-old mouse pups (n=14) were infected via intraperitoneal injection with C. albicans and euthanized at 24 h after injection. Panel A: Tissue fungal burden. Panel B: Mean gal3 concentration in tissue homogenates compared to pups receiving saline (n=14). Error bars represent standard deviation. Mean gal3 concentration was reduced in the spleen of infected pups relative to controls based on ANOVA with inter-group comparisons by the Student-Newman-Keuls Method (p=0.04).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Survival curve of neonatal mice with disseminated candidiasis after pretreatment with recombinant galectin-3. Two-day-old mouse pups were given intraperitoneal injections of either saline or recombinant gal3, 2 h prior to infection with C. albicans . Uninfected pups receiving gal3 only were included as a control. Pretreatment with gal3 reduced mortality in infected compared to saline treated pups based on log-rank test (p=0.02).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Tissue fungal burden in neonatal mice with disseminated candidiasis pretreated with galectin-3. Two-day-old mouse pups were given intraperitoneal injections of either saline or recombinant gal3, 2 h prior to infection with C. albicans (n=10 pups per group). Tissues were collected at the time of death or at 72 h in surviving animals. Fungal burden is depicted with the bars representing median values. P values were derived based on analysis using a negative binomial model to account for the variability in these data which are not normally distributed.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Tissue fungal burden in neonatal mice with disseminated candidiasis at early time points following infection and pretreatment with galectin-3. Two-day-old mouse pups were given intraperitoneal injections of either saline or recombinant gal3, 2 h prior to infection with C. albicans (n=5 pups per group). Pups were euthanized and tissues were collected at 24 and 36 h following infection. Fungal burden is depicted with the bars representing median values. P values were derived based on analysis using a negative binomial model to account for the variability in these data which are not normally distributed. NS – not significant.
