Abstract

We acknowledge the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) for providing a PhD grant to AC (SFRH/ BD/84704/2012). This article is a result of the project Norte-01- 0145-FEDER-000012—Structured program on bioengineered therapies for infectious diseases and tissue regeneration, supported by Norte Portugal Regional Operational Programme (NORTE 2020), under the PORTUGAL 2020 Partnership Agreement, through the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER). The MS lab is also financed by a FCT-ANR grant (FCTANR/ BIM-MEC/0007/2013). This work was also backed by the COST Action BM1404 European Network of Investigators Triggering Exploratory Research on Myeloid Regulatory Cells (http://www. mye-euniter.eu), which is supported by the Horizon 2020—EU Framework Program Research and Innovation Programme. MS is a FCT Associate Investigator.
