Abstract excerpt
As anti-cytokine therapies were developed for clinical use during the last decade, anti-IL-1 therapies have emerged as a highly effective treatment for cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPSs), including the "urticaria-like rash." Based on clinical observations, we hypothesized that NLPR3 activation and IL-1β production, in particular in mast cells (MCs), are important for the development of this eruption,...
