Abstract
At present, there are no antifungal vaccines available for the numerous people — in particular, immunocompromised individuals — who are at risk of infection with opportunistic fungal pathogens. However, new hope for the development of an effective vaccine has been provided by data published in The Journal of Experimental Medicine that indicate that immunization with the β-glucan laminarin conjugated to the diphtheria toxoid CRM197 protects mice from infection with Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus.
