a Deconvolution of gene expression using a leukocyte gene signatures matrix to obtain median proportions of select adaptive and innate white blood cells at each timepoint. Center lines show the medians; box limits indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles; whiskers represent 95% confidence interval. Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA was used to determine P values. *P < 0.05; #P < 0.1. bg Flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from rDEN2Δ30-infected subjects. Data are expressed as fold change in cell frequency at days 8, and 28 after infection relative to day 0 baseline. Center lines show the medians; box limits indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles and all data points are shown. Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA was used to determine P values indicated as *P < 0.05 and #P < 0.1. b Lineage-negative (CD3CD19CD56CD14CD16) HLA-DR+ dendritic cells (DC), HLA-DRhi activated DC (DC_act); c monocytes: classical (c_mono), intermediate (i_mono), and non-classical (nc_mono); d natural killer T cells (nkt), NK1-5 populations (defined by CD56 and CD16 staining as outlined in Supplementary Fig. 4); e CD3+ T cells (t cells), CD4+ T cells (cd4), and CD8+ T cells (cd8); f CD8+ T-cell populations: activated CD279+ (cd8_act), cytotoxic CD57+ (cd8_cyto), CCR7CD45RA+ T-effector re-expressing CD45RA (cd8t_emra), CCR7+CD45RA+ naive (cd8t_naive), CCR7CD45RA effector memory (cd8t_em), CCR7+CD45RA central memory (cd8t_cm), and homeostatic CD127+ (cd8_homeo); g CD4+ T-cell populations: activated CD279+ (cd4_act), cytotoxic CD57+ (cd4_cyto), activation-induced marker (AIM)-positive CD154+CD134+(cd4_AIM), CD25+CD134+ (cd4_AIM_old), regulatory T cells CD127CD25+ (t_regs), homeostatic CD127+ (cd4_homeo), CCR7CD45RA+ T effector re-expressing CD45RA (cd4t_emra), CCR7+CD45RA+ naive (cd4t_naive), CCR7CD45RA effector memory (cd4t_em), CCR7+CD45RA central memory (cd4t_cm); h CD19+ B cells (bcells), plasmablasts CD19+ CD38hiCD27hi (pb), IgM+CD27 naïve B cells (naive_b), and IgMCD27+ switched memory B cells (s_mbc).
