Tissue distribution analysis has revealed that RNase L is highly expressed in the spleen, thymus, lung, testis, intestine and most of immune cells such as T, B cells and macrophages. However, the physiological role of RNase L in the immune system is largely unknown. My thesis thus focused on studying the possible physiological role of RNase L in macrophages. By using bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) from RNase L+/+and -/- mice, we demonstrated that RNase L is involved in …
