In the present study, we explored the role of CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) in a murine model of chronic fungal asthma induced by an intrapulmonary challenge with Aspergillus fumigatus conidia (or spores). Airway hyperresponsiveness was significantly lower in A. fumigatus-sensitized mice lacking CCR5 (CCR5-/-) compared with similarly sensitized wild-type (CCR5+/+) control mice at days 2, 21, 30, and 40 after the...
