“…Il15 À/À mice do not form granulomas during Propionibacterium acnes infection, suggesting a key role for IL-15 in the early activation of innate immune responses (Ohteki et al, 2006). Il15 À/À mice are highly sensitive to various viral, fungal, and bacterial infections (Ashkar et al, 2009;Bobbala et al, 2017;Dominguez-Andres et al, 2017;Mitani et al, 1999;Nishimura et al, 2001;Soudja et al, 2012;Takano et al, 1998). IL-15 is implicated in chronic inflammation and is a pathogenic factor in tissuespecific autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), autoimmune diabetes, and psoriasis (Allard-Chamard et al, 2020;Bobbala et al, 2012;Bobbala et al, 2017;Di Sabatino et al, 2006;McInnes et al, 1997;Meresse et al, 2004;Waldmann, 2004;Waldmann, 2006;Waldmann et al, 2020).…”
