immune system
increased neutrophil cell number ( J:199719 )
• in the cornea of mice infected with F. solani
increased incidence of corneal inflammation ( J:199719 )

increased susceptibility to fungal infection ( J:199719 )
• mice infected with F. solani exhibit increased severity of keratitis (cornea cloudiness, edema, descemetocele formation and cornea perforation), increased neutrophil infiltration (determined by MPO activity and plate count) and enhanced fungal load without recovery compared with wild-type mice
