To evaluate whether bone marrow progenitor cells develop into MGC under inflammatory conditions during experimental tuberculosis, we performed an intratracheal adoptive transfer of CD115+ CD11b− Ly6C+ bone marrow cells, including cMoP and iMoP, from β-actin gfp+/− mice 6 weeks after M.tb aerosol infection of IL-13tg mice (Fig. 9d). This evidence concerns the gene ITGAM and tuberculosis.
