 To address the role of TREM-1 in a murine model of fungal allergic airway disease, A. fumigatus-sensitized CBA/J mice received by intratracheal injection a mixture of live A. fumigatus conidia and one of a control adenovirus vector (Ad70), an adenovirus containing a gene encoding for the extracellular domain of mouse TREM-1 and the F(c) portion of human IgG (AdTREM-1Ig; a soluble inhibitor of TREM-1 function), or an adenovirus containing mouse DAP12 (AdDAP12; DAP12 is an intracellular adaptor protein required for TREM-1 signaling), and examined at various days after challenge.
