chromoblastomycosis is a
chronic skin infection
what causes chromoblastomycosis
Fonscaea pedrosoi
what did sousa 2011 find
chronic nature of chromoblastomycosis is sure to lack of pattern recognition receptor costimualtion
F.pedrosoi is recognised by
Mincle (C-type lectin receptor)
F.pedrosoi is not recognised by
Toll-like receptors (TLRs)
lack of stimulation by TLR
defective induction of pro inflammatory response
inflammatory response to F.pedrosoi could be
reinstated by TLR costimualtion
signaling via which pathway of mincle
Syk/CARD9 pathway
signaling via which pathway of TLR2
MyD88
recognition of fungal B-glucans by macrophages is not sufficient
to induce inflammatory response
whilst addition of F.pedrosoi conidia to macrophages..
failed to induce significant levels o TNF
costimulation with
Pam3CSK4 induces a robust response
Pam3CSK4 is a
TLR2 agonist- induce MyD88
