VEGFR3 signaling restrains the neuron-macrophage crosstalk during neurotropic viral infection

To investigate the transcriptomic characteristics of CD11b+F4/80+ cells in the brain of JEV- infected WT and Vegfr-3ΔLBD/ΔLBD mice, we sorted the CD11b+F4/80+ cells from the brain of WT and Vegfr-3ΔLBD/ΔLBD mice post 5 days of JEV infection by FACS. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 2 different cells. Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for CD11b+F4/80+ cells in the brain of JEV- infected WT and Vegfr-3ΔLBD/ΔLBD mice.
