Multiparametric comparative analysis of all pre- and postinfection related immune cell and clinical traits

Spleen leukocytes from infected mice were analyzed as for pre-infection traits. The change in trait values were calculated from the pre- (blood) and post- (spleen) infection trait values. In total, 110 distinct traits were assessed.

Multiparametric Pearson correlations were performed in the R (versions 2.15.0 and 2.15.2) computing environment using an automated correlation analysis followed with a strict Bonferroni correction for multiple tests. P-values were corrected for multiple comparisons using both the Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate and the Bonferroni Correction.
