In vitro infection of human NK cells by A. fumigatus hyphae for 6 h increases the secretion of inflammatory cytokines, such as IFN-γ, TNF-α, and growth factor GM-CSF, as well as several chemokines, including CXCL8/IL-8, CCL3/MIP-1α, CCL4/MIP-1β, and XCL1/lymphotactin [27]. Here, XCL1 is linked to infection.
