Cytоkines аre pleiоtrоpic аnd redundаnt; prove it experimentally. Innate cytokines and chemokines act locally and systemically, can be pleiotropic, and may appear redundant; this complicates therapeutic manipulation. NK cells and ILC activation are driven by these types of responses. A. (3 points) Your research team has identified a novel cytokine that promotes differentiation/activation of NCR+ ILC3. Propose one strategy to test how this cytokine and its interactions with its receptor affect ILC3 function. B. (6 points) Design an experiment (unlimited resources) that tests for redundancy (i.e., shows that blocking one mediator is compensated by another) of this novel cytokine with others known to promote differentiation/activation of NCR+ ILC3 function. Include: at least two experimental groups, outcomes that quantify the redundancy or lack thereof, and interpretation of the outcomes as it relates to any redundancy or lack thereof.
