Competing Interests
The authors have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts. The commercial organizations AFSTAL (the French Laboratory Animal Science Association) and Laboratory Animals Ltd provided financial support for Ms. Scotto in the form of a training scholarship. The commercial organization Charles River UK donated the animals used in the study. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
