Abstract:
Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and lymphocyte-induced angiogenesis (LIA) of mononuclear leucocytes (MNC) isolated from the peripheral blood of patients with denture stomatitis mycotic were examined. The obtained results have shown a decrease in ADCC in patients with mycotic infection of oral cavity. Similarly, the ability to induce angiogenesis by MNC isolated from these patients was decreased in comparison with angiogenesis induced by control MNC. After the anti-mycotic treatment, an increase in ADCC and LIA was noted.
