TPL-2 MAP 3-kinase promotes inflammation in numerous mouse disease models and is an attractive anti-inflammatory drug target. However, TPL-2-deficient (<i>Map3k8</i> <sup>-/-</sup>) mice develop exacerbated allergic airway inflammation to house dust mite (HDM) compared with wild type controls. Here, we show that <i>Map3k8<sup>D270A/D270A</sup></i> mice expressing kinase dead TPL-2 had an unaltered response to HDM, indicating that the severe airway inflammation observed in <i>Map3k8</i> <sup>-/-< ...[more]
