Response to Comment on “Sterilizing immunity in the lung relies on targeting fungal apoptosis-like programmed cell death”

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: Aouacheria et al . question the interpretation of contemporary assays to monitor programmed cell death with apoptosis-like features (A-PCD) in Aspergillus fumigatus . Although our study focuses on fungal A-PCD for host immune surveillance and infectious outcomes, the experimental approach incorporates multiple independent A-PCD markers and genetic manipulations based on fungal rather than mammalian orthologs to circumvent the limitations associated with any single approach.
