Fig 5. Depletion of pDC induces increased Th1/Th17-related transcription factors and reduced Treg-associated Foxp3.

mRNA relative expression of Tbet, Gata3, Rorc and Foxp3 in the lungs of mice treated with anti-mPDCA or control isotype after 96 h, 2 and 8 weeks of infection. Bars show mean ± SD from at least four mice per group and are representative of three independent experiments (*p< 0.05).
