We found that the populations of TNF-α+ (Figure 5G, upper panel) and IL-6+ (data not shown) CD11b+/F4/80+ cells (infiltrated monocytes and resident microglia), as well as IL-6+ (Figure 5G, lower panel) and TNF-α+ (data not shown) CD11b+/CD45+ (R1 and R2) cells were also reduced in JEV-infected mice following anti-CLEC5A mAb treatment at day 5–7 post infection. This evidence concerns the gene ITGAM and infection.
