At 36 h and 3 days post infection, viral replication intermediates were barely detectable in most spleen-resident cell subsets of NRG-HIS mice, with the exception of pDCs, in contrast to stat1loxP/loxP/Vav-cre mice where multiple cell subsets displayed high-levels of viral replication (Fig. 7d and Supplementary Fig. 7c). The gene discussed is VAV1; the disease is infection.
