CSF2 and paracoccidioidomycosis: To better understand the role of M1/M2-like macrophage in the PCM murine model, in this work, we evaluated phagocytic and secretory abilities, as well as expression analyses of some genes related to mice antifungal responses in GM-CSF (M1-like) and M-CSF (M2-like) induced bone marrow macrophages obtained from of A/J and B10.A mouse strains infected in vitro with a virulent strain of P. brasiliensis.
