Few cells in G0 expressed GATA-3 but concomitant with infection, we observed a significant increase in LSK CD150+ CD48- cells expressing Ki67 and GATA-3 (17.64 ± 11.23 vs. 46.68 ± 21.66, in naive vs. infected mice, respectively) (S2B Fig), and in infected mice we determined a significant alteration in the distribution of LSK CD150+ CD48- cells segregated according to the expression of GATA-3 and Ki67 (S2B Fig). This evidence concerns the gene CD48 and infection.
