Vaginal Candidiasis In Mice
Vaginitis in rodents is inducible under conditions of pseudoestrus. Mice given a vaginal inoculum of C. albicans under these conditions acquire a persistent vaginal infection, while mice inoculated in the absence of estrogen resolve the infection within 3 weeks. This protocol describes vaginal candidiasis in estrogenized CBA/J mice, a model of infection particularly suitable for studies on local and peripheral immune reactivity occurring in this infection.
