TRAF1-deficiency accelerates the clearance of C. albicans. a. Traf1−/− mice (n = 5) and WT controls (n = 6) were infected with C. albicans (1 × 107 CFU) and analyzed for fungal growth within the skin tissue on day 3 post-infection. b. Paraffin-embedded skin sections from Traf1−/− and WT mice 3 days post-infection were stained by PAS. Representative micrographs were captured at 50×, 100×, 200× and 400× magnification. PBS group, the control group; CA group, the C. albicans infection group. Data are pooled from two independent experiments and shown as mean ± SEM, and were analyzed using the unpaired, two-tailed, Student’s t-test. Values of p below 0.05 represented a statistically significant difference
