The NLRP3 Inflammasome Detects Encephalomyocarditis Virus and Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Infection
3 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Inflammasomes are cytosolic protein complexes that regulate caspase-1 activation and the secretion of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18. Several different inflammasome complexes have been identified, but the NLRP3 inflammasome is particularly notable because of its central role in diseases of inflammation. Recent work has demonstrated an essential role for the NLRP3 inflammasome in host defense against influenza...
