Infection of DT-treated CCR2 depleter mice with FLARE conidia revealed that CCR2+Mo ablation did not alter the frequency of neutrophils with engulfed conidia at 12 or 36 hours p.i. compared to non-transgenic, DT-treated littermate controls (Figure 4B and data not shown), indicating that ablation of CCR2+Mo does not decrease neutrophil conidial uptake. This evidence concerns the gene CCR2 and infection.
