Invasive aspergillosis develops in immunocompromised patients, and is a leading cause of mortality in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. CCR7 and its ligands, CCL19 and CCL21, are responsible for the migration of dendritic cells from sites of infection and inflammation to secondary lymphoid organs. To investigate the role of CCR7 during invasive aspergillosis, we used a well-characterized neutropenic murine model. During invasive aspergillosis, mice with a CCR7 deficiency in the hematopoietic compartment exhibited increased survival and less pulmonary injury compared with the appropriate wild-type control. Flow cytometric analysis of the chimeric mice revealed an increase in the number of dendritic cells present in the lungs of CCR7-deficient chimeras following infection with Aspergillus conidia. An adoptive transfer of dendritic cells into neutropenic mice provided a protective effect during invasive aspergillosis, which was further enhanced with the adoptive transfer of CCR7-deficient dendritic cells. Additionally, CCR7-deficient dendritic cells activated in vitro with Aspergillus conidia expressed higher TNF-\u03b1, CXCL10, and CXCL2 levels, indicating a more activated cellular response to the fungus. Our results suggest that the absence of CCR7 is protective during invasive aspergillosis in neutropenic mice. Collectively, these data demonstrate a potential deleterious role for CCR7 during primary immune responses directed against A. fumigatus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.0901027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,25]],"date-time":"2009-09-25T21:40:38Z","timestamp":1253914838000},"page":"5171-5179","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["CCR7 Deficiency on Dendritic Cells Enhances Fungal Clearance in a Murine Model of Pulmonary Invasive Aspergillosis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"183","author":[{"given":"Adam J","family":"Hartigan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, University of Michigan Medical School , Ann Arbor, MI 48109"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Westwick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Novartis Institutes of Biomedical Research, Respiratory Disease Area , Horsham, West Sussex,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gabor","family":"Jarai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Novartis Institutes of Biomedical Research, Respiratory Disease Area , Horsham, West Sussex,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cory M","family":"Hogaboam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, University of Michigan Medical School , Ann Arbor, MI 48109"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026012811251061600_R1","first-page":"209","article-title":"Sources and incidence of airborne Aspergillus fumigatus (Fres).","volume-title":"Clin.
