Polymorphonuclear neutrophils reduce A. niger germination and hyphal length at the surface of A549 cells. A. fumigatus and A. niger percentage of germination (A,C) and hyphal length (B,D) in the presence of A549 cells. Bars represent standard error of the mean. ∗ Indicate significant differences. Data are obtained from three separate experiments; at least 100 conidia per condition were analyzed.
