Neutrophils are attracted to the infected tissue by chemokines such as KC or MIP-2, while monocytes are attracted by MCP-1, so we assessed the protein levels of KC, MIP-2 and MCP-1 in the sera of uninfected or MCMV-infected WT or TLR9−/− male and female mice at 36 h upon infection. Here, CALCA is linked to infection.
