Alveolar macrophages (AMs), localized at the pulmonary air-tissue interface, are one of the first lines of defense that interact with inhaled airborne pathogens such as influenza viruses. By using a new CD169-DTR transgenic mouse strain we demonstrate that specific and highly controlled in vivo abla...
