EPHA2 and infection: We found that when EGFR was either knocked down with siRNA or inhibited with the specific EGFR kinase inhibitor, gefitinib [16], C. albicans-induced phosphorylation of EphA2 was transient, occurring within 30 min of infection, but declining to basal levels by 90 min (Figs 1A and S1A–S1C).
