METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: 
The excel sheet contains the ELISA data for each experiment used to create figures and analysis. 

2. Methods for processing the data:
Prism (version 5.04) was used to generate graphs and run statistics. See outputs in Combined Figures.pzf FlowJo (version 7.6.5) was used to generate an additional figure (Figure 6 in the related article). See outputs in Flow.rar.
