IFNA1 and infection: In addition to the strong myeloid signature found in RMT P. chabaudi infections compared with SBP infections, there were also two modules that suggested earlier IFN responses in RMT infections (Fig. 4), and higher amounts of IFNγ and IFNγ-related molecules were produced by the spleens during RMT infection both at the RNA (Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Supplementary Fig. S6) and protein (Fig. 5 and Supplementary Fig. S7) level.
