The distribution of these cells in relation to the expression of CD16/32 and CD34 cell markers (Figure 4B, right panels), showed that the frequencies of Granulocyte-Monocyte Precursors (GMP, CD16/32+CD34hi) and Common Myeloid Progenitors (CMP, CD16/32+CD34lo) were significantly altered by the infection as compared to uninfected controls. Here, CD34 is linked to infection.
