ITGAX and infection: Interestingly, seven days post-infection the frequency of CD11c+ cells on blood T cells was much higher in the IV group (median: 13.1% [IQR: 10.9–16.3]) than in any other group (median: 1.51%, [IQR: 0.9–2.2] in the controls or median: 5.23% [IQR: 3.4–8.4] in the VAG group) (Fig 7).
