Negative Regulator Nlrc3-like Maintain the Balanced Innate Immune Response During Mycobacterial Infection in Zebrafish

Abstract excerpt

The NOD-like receptors (NLRs) have been shown to be involved in infection and autoinflammatory disease. Previously, we identified a zebrafish NLR, nlrc3-like, required for macrophage homeostasis in the brain under physiological conditions. Here, we found that a deficiency of nlrc3-like leads to decreased bacterial burden at a very early stage of Mycobacterium marinum infection, along with increased production of...
