In addition to determining the levels and status of macrophage infiltrates in the cornea of infected mice as we described above (Fig 1), we also monitored short-term and long-term dynamics of CD45+, CD4+, CD8+, NK, NKT, B cells, DCs, macrophages, monocytes, and neutrophil infiltrates following corneal infection and compared them with those of corneas from mock-infected mice. The gene discussed is CD8A; the disease is corneal infection.
