Quantification of zinc intoxication of Candida glabrata after phagocytosis by primary macrophages
Summary: Zinc (Zn2+) is a trace element, playing pivotal roles during host-pathogen interactions. Macrophages can sequester Zn2+ and restrict bioavailability or increase phagolysosomal Zn2+ to kill pathogens. This method quantifies Zn2+-mediated clearance of the human fungal pathogen C. glabrata aft...
