  • Title: Vaginal epithelial cell anti-Candida albicans activity is associated with protection against symptomatic vaginal candidiasis.
    Author: Barousse MM, Espinosa T, Dunlap K, Fidel PL.
    Journal: Infect Immun; 2005 Nov; 73(11):7765-7. PubMed ID: 16239581.
    Abstract:
    Vaginal epithelial cell (VEC) anti-Candida albicans activity, despite being measured in vitro, is considered an innate host defense mechanism. This was supported further by the fact that women protected from symptomatic infection following a live intravaginal Candida challenge had increased VEC anti-Candida activity compared to those who acquired a symptomatic infection.
