The infection of DC with LASV or MOPV did not lead to synthesis of the CCL2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 13, and 17 mRNAs (data not shown), whereas an increase in the levels of the mRNAs encoding CXCL9, 10, and 11 was observed in MOPV-infected DC, but not in LASV-infected DC (figure 1B). This evidence concerns the gene CCL2 and infection.
