Phagocytes play a central role in immune defense. Their dysfunction predisposes to infections. This study determined the expression level of nine receptors involved in Aspergillus immune response as well as the values of phagocytosis and production of radical oxygen species after Aspergillus stimulation, in a healthy adult population. The expression values of the CD11b, CD11c, CD14, CD18, CD35, CD181, CD182, CD282 and CD284 receptors on peripheral human monocytes and granulocytes was established. A heterogenous expression of the CD282 on granulocytes was observed as CD181, CD182 and CD284 on monocytes. Similarly, we observed considerable variation in the expression of these receptors over time. Only CD282 on granulocytes varied with sex. No variation with age was observed. Adherence of Aspergillus conidia to phagocytes was dependent of individual, sex, age and time. A better characterization of these innate immunity parameters is necessary to develop in the future an immunologic surveillance strategy for transplant recipients.

We have previously observed that neutrophils from neonates exhibit different migratory responses to intermediate and end-target chemoattractants compared to adults. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the chemoattractants IL-8 (intermediate) and formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP; end-target) on cell surface receptor expression involved in adhesion, migration and granule release of neutrophils from term newborn infants and adults. Heparinized cord blood from 16 healthy term newborn infants delivered by caesarean section and peripheral blood from 17 healthy adults were incubated with 1 μm IL-8 or 0.
