In line with our results, previous publications reported IL-23 receptor expression by cells of the myeloid lineages [20,25] Importantly, however, our data show that not all myeloid cell subsets, which are impaired in viability during systemic candidiasis in Il23a-/- mice, express themselves high levels of Il23r transcripts (Fig 7E–7G). The gene discussed is IL23A; the disease is candidiasis.
