Percentages of leukocytes in spleen of the C. neoformans–infected mice. Box and whiskers plot show the percentages of different leukocytes in the (a) BALF, (b) mLN, and (c) spleen. IL-17A–EGFP reporter mice (n = 4 per group) were uninfected (mock) or intranasally inoculated with 1 × 10⁵ cells with C. neoformans H99 strain (Cn H99). Number of GFP⁺ cells among the macrophages (F4/80⁺ CD11b⁺ Gr1⁺)–, neutrophils (F4/80⁻ CD11b⁺ Gr-1^high)–, and inflammatory monocytes (F4/80⁻ CD11b⁺ Gr1^medium)–, T cells (TCRβ⁺)–, helper T cells (TCRβ⁺ CD4⁺)–, cytotoxic T cells (TCRβ⁺ CD8⁺)–gated cell populations. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, n.s.: not significant or P ≥ 0.05, by Mann-Whitney U test
