The dermatophytes are a group of molds that cause superficial mycoses of the hair, skin, and nails and utilize the protein keratin, that is found in hair, skin, and nails, as a nitrogen and energy source. Infections are commonly referred to as ringworm or tinea infections and inclu ...

Moreover, DCs protect themselves from cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) attack,14 suggesting that the survival of DCs is an important regulatory mechanism in immune responses. Previously, we demonstrated that rapamycin (Rapa) specifically induc ...
