ITGAX and pulmonary fibrosis: Our results indicate a progressive increase in the influx of CD11c+ myeloid cells, particularly DCs (F4/80‐MHCII+CD11c+) and MΦ (F4/80 + MHCII+CD11c+), following bleomycin instillation and preceding lung fibrosis in mice, are consistent with existing literature.37, 38, 39, 55, 56
