Ruxolitinib (R-6688, LC Laboratories) was formulated into Nutra-gel diet (F5769-Kit, Bio-Serv) at a concentration of 1 g/kg. Mice were acclimated to untreated Nutra-gel diet (replaced daily) alongside normal rodent chow for 7 days. Mice were provided with Ruxolitinib diet or Nutra-gel diet ad libitum (replaced daily) for 2 days prior to infection and continued throughout infection study period. In experiments where mice were treated with Amphotericin B during infection, Ruxolitinib diet was added on day 18 post-infection and continued throughout the study period.
