Lyssavirus matrix protein inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome assembly by binding to NLRP3

Abstract excerpt

Lyssavirus is a kind of neurotropic pathogen that needs to evade peripheral host immunity to enter the central nervous system to accomplish infection. NLRP3 inflammasome activation is essential for the host to defend against pathogen invasion. This study demonstrates that the matrix protein (M) of lyssavirus can inhibit both the priming step and the activation step of NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Specifically,...
