Interleukin-36β provides protection against HSV-1 infection, but does not modulate initiation of adaptive immune responses

Abstract Interleukin-36 (IL-36) represents three cytokines, IL-36α, IL-36β and IL-36γ, which bind to the same receptor, IL-1RL2; however, their physiological function(s) remain poorly understood. Here, the role of IL-36 in immunity against HSV-1 was examined using the flank skin infection mouse mode...
