Control of Listeria monocytogenes infection requires classical IL-6 signaling in myeloid cells.

IL-6 is required for the response of mice against Listeria monocytogenes. Control of infection depends on classical IL-6 signaling via membrane IL-6Rα, but IL-6 target cells and protective mechanisms remain unclear. We used mice with IL-6Rα-deficiency in T cells (Il6rafl/fl×CD4cre) or myeloid cells...
