Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 6. TLR21 is the primary CpG DNA sensor and signals via IRF7 in chickens. (A) TLR21 knockout and (B) IRF7 knockout HD11 cells were generated by CRISPR/Cas9 editing and sequenced to define indels targeted by the gRNAs (yellow) including PAM sequences (red). (C) WT, TLR21 KO and IRF7 KO HD11 cells were stimulated with 5 μg ODN2006, or by transfection with 5 μg/ml htDNA or ctDNA and transcription of the indicated genes was measured by qR T-PCR 6 h later. (D) WT, TLR21 KO and IRF7 KO HD11 cells were stimulated with 5 μg ODN2006, or by transfection with 5 μg/ml htDNA or ctDNA and cell viability measured 24 h later by flow cytometry. NS- non significant, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, n ≥3. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)
