CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity mediates pathology in the skin by inflammasome activation and IL-1β production.
Deregulated CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity plays a central role in enhancing disease severity in several conditions. However, we have little understanding of the mechanisms by which immunopathology develops as a consequence of cytotoxicity. Using murine models of inflammation induced by the protozoan para...
