ITGAX and infection: To determine whether dendritic cells represent a portion of this emergent population of CD11c+ cells, and to more precisely characterize changes in distinct conventional dendritic cell (cDC) subsets in response to brain infection, we performed spectral flow cytometry on cells purified from the dural meninges of naïve, acutely infected (2 weeks post-infection), or chronically infected (6 weeks post-infection) C57BL/6 mice (Figure 1—figure supplement 1).
