Abstract excerpt
Interleukin 34 (IL34) and colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) signal through a shared receptor (CSF1R) to control macrophage survival, differentiation, and function. Here, we describe the impact of loss-of-function mutation in the rat Il34 gene. In contrast to IL34 mutant mice, macrophages within squamous epithelia (Langerhans cells) were not significantly depleted in Il34 -/- rats. In the brain, microglia and...
