Mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein （Mlkl） was recently found to interact with receptor interacting protein 3 （Rip3） and to be essential for tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-induced programmed necrosis （necroptosis） in cultured cell lines. We have generated Mlkl-deficient mice by transcription activ...
