Abstract:IL-22 is an important cytokine in modulating the consequences of inflammation in lesions, including the liver. However, the role of IL-22 in Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV)-induced viral hepatitis remains obscure. Here, we report that LCMV-induced IL-23 release promoted IL-22 production. And gdT cells and double negative T cells (DNT, CD3+ CD4− CD8− γδTCR− NK1.1−) were the main sources of IL-22 and IL-17 productions following LCMV infection in the liver. Interestingly, we also found that IL-23-stimul… Show more
