Pf4 and Ppbp expression was lower in Elf4−/− mice after P. yoelii 17XNL infection.
A, list of the very top enriched genes from RNA-Seq data that were induced more than 1.4-fold in the bone marrow of Elf4+/+ mice compared with Elf4−/− mice. B, microarray analysis of diverse genes expression between Elf4+/+ and Elf4−/− mice in response to infection with P. yoelii 17XNL. C, quantitative PCR analysis of Pf4 and Ppbp mRNA in the blood of Elf4+/+ and Elf4−/− mice on the indicated days after infection with P. yoelii 17XNL. Gene expression in C was relative to mouse Hprt. For C, data are means ± S.D. from three independent experiments; t test; *, p < 0.05; ****, p < 0.0001; NS, not significant.
