Resumen:
Larrea divaricata is a shrub with several applications in argentinean folk medicine. The aim of this work was to test the role of â-glucan receptor (dectin-1) on macrophage (MO) of mice infected with C. albicans and treated with a fraction obtained from L. divaricata albicans and treated with a fraction obtained from L. divaricata receptor (dectin-1) on macrophage (MO) of mice infected with C. albicans and treated with a fraction obtained from L. divaricata albicans and treated with a fraction obtained from L. divaricata folk medicine. The aim of this work was to test the role of â-glucan receptor (dectin-1) on macrophage (MO) of mice infected with C. albicans and treated with a fraction obtained from L. divaricata albicans and treated with a fraction obtained from L. divaricata receptor (dectin-1) on macrophage (MO) of mice infected with C. albicans and treated with a fraction obtained from L. divaricata albicans and treated with a fraction obtained from L. divaricata is a shrub with several applications in argentinean folk medicine.

Healthy and infected mice were treated with: a) PBS; b) F1; c) antibody against dectin-1(15Y9); d) F1+15Y9. The 15Y9 was administered during 4 days before infection. Treatment with F1 was started 24 h after infection and extended during 3 days. MO were harvested and, liver, spleen and kidney were removed and homogenated for CFU counts. Phagocytosis activity, superoxide production by NBT test, viability by MTT test and CR3 expression on MO were performed. Results show that 15Y9 increases phagocytosis in all groups (p<0.05). A slight decrease on phagocytosis and NBT test was observed compared to controls (p<0.05) when MO were treated with F1+15Y9. F1 increases viability (p<0.01), but when dectin-1 is blocked, this viability decreases. MO from mice treated with F1 increases the expression of CR3, but the highest expression was observed on infected mice treated with F1+15Y9. CFU count shows that mice treated with F1+15Y9 were able to resolve the infection. In conclusion, F1 could act mainly through dectin-1, and secondarily through other receptors such as CR3 to eliminate infection.
