hematopoietic system
• total number and relative frequency of dendritic cells is decreased
• largest reduction is to CD103+ CD11b- conventional dendritic cells in the lung

immune system
• total number and relative frequency of dendritic cells is decreased
• largest reduction is to CD103+ CD11b- conventional dendritic cells in the lung
|
• decreased proliferation of splenic CD8a+ conventional dendritic cells (cDC) as measured by BrdU incorporation (50% reduction)
• CD8a+ cDC from mice treated with the cytokine, GM-CSF, fail to exhibit improved survival
• T cell priming by dendritic cells is impaired during infection using either L. monocytogenes expressing soluble ovalbumin (LM-OVA) or VSV-OVA
|
• mice are resistant to lethal infection by L. monocytogenes
|
mortality/aging
• mice are resistant to lethal infection by L. monocytogenes
