Of note, the abundance of inflammatory monocytes, which can be captured in spleen tissue of CV-infected mice by ip inhibition [2], was similar in both LMP7−/− mice and their littermate controls (Fig. 2b), corresponding to the equal CD11bhigh cell count in the heart during myocarditis in these groups (Fig. 1f). The gene discussed is PSMB8; the disease is myocarditis.
