HSC and progenitor cell loss during infection depends on both type I and II IFNs
Mice were infected with 105 copies of IOE and bone marrow (BM) was analyzed day 7 post-IOE infection (dpi).
(A) Total BM cellularity is shown for WT, Ifngr−/−, Ifnar−/−, and Ifnar−/−;Ifngr−/− mice.
(B) The absolute numbers of total hematopoietic progenitors (HSPCs; Lin− cKit+) is shown.
(C and D) (C) Long-term (LT)-HSCs and (D) short-term (ST)-HSCs of mice that were mock or IOE infected, n = 4–9 mice/group. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.001, ∗∗∗p < 0.0001, ∗∗∗∗p < 0.00001 (see Figure S1).
