Twenty-four hours post infection, cells were FACS sorted based on standard cell markers to distinct blood cell types: CD14+CD16- cells which are mainly classical monocytes, CD16+CD14- cells which include non-classical monocytes (Guilliams et al., 2018), a subset of NK cells (Lanier et al., 1989), and dendritic cells (Fromm et al., 2020), and T and B cells according to cell surface markers CD3 and CD19, respectively (Figure 1A). The gene discussed is CD14; the disease is infection.
