ITGAX and infection: Although we found a significant influx of neutrophils (identified as CD45+/CD11b+/Ly6G+/Ly6C− cells; Supplementary Fig. 1) and Ly6Chigh inflammatory monocytes (identified as CD45+/CD11b+/Ly6G−/CD11c−/Ly6C+ cells; Supplementary Fig. 1) in the lungs on days 1 and 5 of infection (Fig. 1e), most R. oryzae conidia were associated with AMs (identified as CD45+/F4/80+/CD11c+/MHCIIlow cells), interstitial macrophages (IMs; identified as CD45+/F4/80+/CD11c−/MHCII+), and dendritic cells (DCs; identified as CD45+/F4/80−/CD11c+/MHCII+) in the lungs of immunocompetent mice (Fig. 1f).
