IL36RN and infection: As our results in Figure 8 showed the increase in MKR’s intracellular growth inside the scrambled siRNA-transfected control macrophages at 24 hr post-infection but such effect could not be observed when the cells were infected with H37Rv and the MKR’s intracellular viability was decreased upon IL-36RN depletion, we then investigated the expressions of IL-36RN and IL-36G in these cells.
