Salmonella typhimurium-induced IL-1 release from primary human monocytes requires NLRP3 and can occur in the absence of pyroptosis

Abstract Large molecular complexes known as inflammasomes regulate the release of IL-1β from immune cells in response to infection and injury. Salmonella typhimurium infection is reported to activate NLRP3 and NLRC4 inflammasomes which are subsequently involved in pyroptosis of the cell and pathogen...
