Figure Lengend Snippet: IL-36β induced antiviral state is dependent upon IFNAR. a Human keratinocytes were transfected with control (Ctrl) or IFNAR1 gRNA/Cas9 expression plasmids, treated with IL-36β and infected with HSV-1. b Control (Ctrl) or IFNAR2 gRNA/Cas9 expression plasmid transfected human keratinocytes were treated with IL-36β and infected with HSV-1. a , b Levels of ICP4, Mx1, IFNAR1, IFNAR2, and GAPDH were determined using western blotting and ImageJ analyses. c Mouse primary keratinocytes were treated with IL-36β as indicated, incubated with neutralizing antibodies against IFNAR or isotype matched Ig and infected with HSV-1. Levels of ICP4, Mx1 and GAPDH were determined using western blotting and ImageJ analyses. a – c Quantitative data are shown as means ± SD. * p < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA, n = 2 biologically independent samples per treatment group). Each red dot represents a single data point. Source data are provided as a Source Data file
