This SLC11A1-dependent effect of Cebpe deficiency on the control of intracellular Salmonella replication ex vivo was not observed in thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal macrophages (Fig. 4d), showing that C/EBPε deficiency does not affect the ability of these macrophages to control Salmonella infection. Here, CEBPE is linked to Salmonella Infections.
