| Research Abstract |
We analyzed roles of NLR-tb, a new member of the NLR family that we identified, in the regulation of innate immunity. We found that NLR-tb is capable of inducing the production of inflammatory cytokine IL-1beta. Furthermore, our analyses on NLR-tb-deficient mice suggested the possibility that NLR-tb responds to unknown pathogen components.
