Analyzing the expression of Axl, Mertk and Tim-4 in cells from steady state ears and at day 10 (S3 Fig), or at 1 and 24 hours post-infection (Fig 6A), we found that dermal TRMs constitutively express Tim-4 and Mertk, which were not modulated by L. major infection. This evidence concerns the gene TIMD4 and infection.
