MBD1 and infection: The mBD-1−/− mouse/Candida albicans GDH2346-RFP infection model allowed us to test the ability to quantify infection in real time using fluorescently expressing Candida. Previously, Vande Velde et al. [18] utilized a bioluminescent strain of C. albicans, and was able to visualize the infection using the IVIS.
