As shown in Figure 3, the timing and number of recruitment of total leukocytes in the lungs of the NFATp−/− and WT mice were similar (Figure 3A), with only a modest increase the number of CD11b+ cells (Figure 3B), indicative of the monocyte lineage, recruited to the lungs of NFATp−/− mice relative to WT mice (1.65×106±1.5×105 vs. 1.25×106±1.1×105 cells, respectively, at 6 weeks post-MTb infection). This evidence concerns the gene ITGAM and infection.
