The finding that the preferential killing of Tap1-/- cells in ECTV-infected Ifnar1ΔNKp46 mice was significantly reduced (Fig 5E) highlights the importance of the crosstalk among innate immune cells in the dLN where both iMOs and NK cells migrate to upon infection, and where iMOs express IFN-I. This evidence concerns the gene TAP1 and infection.
