Despite this transformation, absence of CCR2 completely abolished the disappearance of BM myeloid progenitors, for both “CD27+ CMPs” (60.6±5.0×103 cells uninfected, 50.7±7.2×103 cells day 7 p.i.)and “GMPs” (41.8±8.4×103 cells uninfected, 59.3±6.5×103 cells day 7 p.i.), during acute malaria (Figure 6C, Table 1). The gene discussed is CD27; the disease is malaria.
