Abstract RIPK3 was reported to play an important role in the protection against influenza A virus (IAV) in vivo. Here we show that the requirement of RIPK3 for protection against IAV infection in vivo is only apparent within a limited dose range of IAV challenge. We found that this protective outcome is independent from RIPK3 kinase activity and from MLKL. https://www.roneverhart.com/NeOn-Zero-Lefty-M390-BLADE-TITANIUM-HANDLE-MRBS-p11472/
