Two months after infection the CD11b+Ly6G+ cell response was lower in the lung of IL-17RA- and IL-17RA-IL-22-deficient mice, compared to wild type mice and IL-22-deficient mice, whereas monocytic CD11b+Ly6C+ cells were decreased in IL-22-deficient mice (Fig. 6B). Here, ITGAM is linked to infection.
