Infection of BMMØ with IgG‐opsonized EBs upregulated mRNA transcription of chemokines and cytokines Ccl2/MCP‐1 (highest, 7245‐fold), Ccl12/MCP‐5, Ccl20/MIP‐3A and Il10; antigen presentation Cd1d2, Cd8α (highest, 6015‐fold), Cd36, Cd40, Cd40lg/Tnfsf5, Cd86, Cd209a/DC‐SIGN and Icam; and signal transduction Cdkn1a, Csf1r, Fas, Flt3, Lyn (highest, 5515‐fold), Mif and Rela. This evidence concerns the gene CD40LG and infection.
