ITGAE and infection: Interestingly, the transcriptional profiles of some significant immune molecules of these infected CD103+ dendritic cells suggested that the cells infected with the attenuated M6 strain showed higher expression of the immune molecules than those in cells infected with the wild-type strain (Figure 4C and Figure S2), which seems to indicate that infection with the wild-type strain inhibits cellular immune activity, as these cells are involved in antigen presentation to T cells.
