The NLRP3 Inflammasome Suppresses Protective Immunity to Gastrointestinal Helminth Infection

Summary: Inflammasomes promote immunity to microbial pathogens by regulating the function of IL-1-family cytokines such as IL-18 and IL-1β. However, the roles for inflammasomes during parasitic helminth infections remain unclear. We demonstrate that mice and humans infected with gastrointestinal nem...
