Abstract
Mice deficient in the fifth component of complement are known to be extremely susceptible to lethal challenge with Candida albicans.

This difference was observed in both susceptible (CBA/H) and resistant (BALB/c) mice. Levels of serum C3 likewise showed no correlation with susceptibility.
