In this study, we present evidence of differential Th17 responses in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells exposed to the pathogenic Candida albicans or the nonpathogenic Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We use different forms of the microorganisms, cells, hyphae, and spores, as a toolbox to dissect the role of surface mannan in the fungal immune response. In contrast to the S. cerevisiae yeast cell-induced Th1 response, dendritic cells stimulated with spores or C. albicans hyphae induce cellular resp ...[more]
