CLEC7A and Sepsis: Because live Cd immunization induced protection in several models of fungal/bacterial IAI, we tested whether the protection extends to sepsis induced by zymosan, a cell wall extract of yeast that mimics human sepsis when administered i.p. at high concentrations by signaling via both TLR-2 and dectin-1 (Dillon et al., 2006; Lewis et al., 2016; Stortz et al., 2017).
