2021-02-19
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background.</bold> Pyrin/TRIM20 is expressed in the neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages and regulates caspase-1 activation and interleukin-1β maturation. Although the mutations in the PRY/SPRY domain of pyrin cause familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), the mechanism of how mutated pyrin provokes excessive inflammation in FMF patients is not well understood. This study was undertak...
