Treatment with oxoglaucine can enhance host resistance to Candida albicans infection of mice with adjuvant arthritis
2000
Abstract The alkaloid oxoglaucine reduced CD4+ cell clones in adult mice and decreased CD4+, CD8+ and Ig+ levels in newborn mice. It prevented the increase of CD8+ and Ig+ clones induced by Candida albicans ( C. albicans ) in adult mice. TNF-α serum accumulation was inhibited by oxoglaucine in C. albicans infection and adjuvant arthritis. Treatment with oxoglaucine of arthritic mice, followed by inoculation with C. albicans enhanced the host resistance against the pathogen.
