We observed that the DEL-1 receptor avβ3 integrin (comprising the av integrin CD51 and the β3 integrin CD61) was expressed in the bone marrow of neonate mice to a similar extent with adult mice, in either steady state or upon sepsis (assessed by flow cytometry analysis in bone marrow total cells, Supplementary Fig. 9a, b). The gene discussed is EDIL3; the disease is Sepsis.
