We have previously reported that a serine/threonine protein kinase, Cot/Tpl2, is a negative regulator of Th1-type immunity through inhibiting IL-12 expression in antigen presenting cells (APCs) stimulated by Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands. We here show that Cot/Tpl2(-/-) macrophages produce significantly less IL-23, an important regulator of Th17-type response, than the ... More
