Mice specifically lacking MALT1 in myeloid cells (LysMCretg/+ MALT1FL/FL) or cells of neuroectodermal origin (neurons, astrocytes, or oligodendrocytes; Nestin-Cretg/+ MALT1FL/FL) were therefore also generated and analyzed in similar infection experiments (Fig. 9A). Here, NES is linked to infection.
