This applied to all myeloid cell populations that were found to disappear in the infected kidney of IL-23-deficient mice at 48h post infection, including neutrophils (Fig 4A), Ly6Chi monocytes (Fig 4B) and the remaining Ly6Clo monocytes, macrophages and DCs, collectively named Ly6Clo myeloid cells (Fig 4C). This evidence concerns the gene IL23A and infection.
