To directly investigate whether cMoPs can differentiate into moDCs, we sorted cMoPs and other resting BMPs (non-cMoPs) from naive mice and transferred them into LCMV-Arm-infected congenically marked (CD45.1+) recipient mice on day 5 post infection (p.i.)when IFN-γ was abundant. This evidence concerns the gene CLN5 and infection.
