Figure 1. Survival curves of G. mellonella infection with different fungi. (a) G. mellonella larvae were injected with 5 × 10 5 CFUs of C. albicans 1 h post 1 × 10 5 CFUs of C. glabrata infection. (b, c, d) G. mellonella were injected with 1 × 10 5 CFUs of C. glabrata or PBS, after 24 h, the larvae were infected with 5 × 10 5 CFUs of C. albicans (b), 1 × 10 6 CFUs of C. tropicalis (c) or 1 × 10 5 CFUs of C. neoformans (d). Each group contained 11 randomly chosen larvae. Differences were determined by using the log-rank test.* P < 0.05. ** P < 0.01. *** P < 0.001

Figure 2. Survival curves of G. mellonella infection with different fungi post live C. glabrata (LCG) or heat-inactivated C. glabrata (HICG) exposure. G. mellonella were injected with 1 × 10 5 CFUs of LCG, HICG or PBS, 24 h later the larvae were re-injected with 5 × 10 5 CFUs of C. albicans (a), 1 × 10 6 CFUs of C. tropicalis (b), or 1 × 10 5 CFUs of C. neoformans (c). The experiments were repeated 3 times independently. Differences were determined by using the log-rank test. * P < 0.05. ** P < 0.01. *** P < 0.001

Figure 3. Changes of cellular immunity of G. mellonella post live C. glabrata (LCG) or heat-inactivated C. glabrata (HICG) exposure. (a) The number of hemocytes in the cell-free hemolymph after the larvae were exposed with 1 × 10 5 CFUs of LCG or HICG for 24 h. (b) Killing activity of hemocytes against C. albicans, C. tropicalis, or C. neoformans. Larvae were inoculated with 1 × 10 5 CFUs of LCG or HICG for 24 h, and then hemocytes were harvested for assessing the fungicidal activity. The experiments were repeated 3 times independently. Results are shown as mean ± SEM and statistical analysis was performed by One-way ANOVA. * P < 0.05
