QRT-PCR results revealed that the expression of nearly all of the four proinflammatory genes was significantly higher upon infection with C. parapsilosis cells in comparison to the non-stimulated DC populations (p < 0.05), while the expression of TNFα of iDCs infected with wild type yeast cells and IL-6 of mDCs were not increased significantly (Figure 2). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and infection.
