This result is similar to the previously observed significant increase in the production of proinflammatory cytokines IFNγ and cell-associated IL-1α, the growth factors GM-CSF and FGFb, the phagocytic receptors CD11b, CD11c, CD14, and CD16/CD32, and the costimulatory molecules CD80, CD83, and CD86 in granuloma cells (with and without acid-fast BCG-mycobacteria) of mice after one and two months following infection with BCG vaccine in vivo [9]. Here, ITGAX is linked to infection.
