Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of myeloperoxidase (MPO) deficiency on lung inflammation induced by nonviable Candida albicans (nCA).
Methods: Mice were inoculated intranasally with nCA, and accumulation of neutrophils and macrophages in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was analyzed by flow cytometry. The levels of macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP-2), keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interleukin (IL)-1β in the lung were measured by ELISA.
