Moreover, this attenuation of AIP was accompanied by a reduction in the pancreatic accumulation of pDCs as well as CD3+ T cells; in addition, it was accompanied by the reduced percentages of CD11b+ myeloid cells and CD11c+ DCs with reduced CD11b and CD11c expression, as determined by MFI (Figure 4C and Supplemental Figure 2B). The gene discussed is ITGAX; the disease is autoimmune pancreatitis.
